More improvements going LIVE today

The payment page (the fourth page of the booking process) is now fully integrated.  All pages show 1-4 pages in the navigation.  The booking is no longer TENTATIVE after page 3, and no booking is recorded until page 4 is completed.  If “pay later’ is selected on page 4, an email is sent with a TENTATIVE status (the same email that was previously sent after page 3).  If “Pay online” or “pay deposit” are selected then the email is sent after the Paypal transaction, with “CONFIRMED” or “TENTATIVE” depending on the payment success and your rules for this.  This change eliminates the sometimes misleading “TENTATIVE” email which was sent before the Paypal transaction, and also includes details of any payment that was made – removing confusion for the customer.

Improvements when you search for a booking

Two improvements to the Administrator/Staff page for managing bookings will make it easier for you to find the bookings that you are looking for.

The first one controls whether you find bookings from past years or not.  By default these won’t be shown – untick the box to include them.  Otherwise you see this year’s bookings and bookings from future years only.
