🎟️ Day Camps: Faster Check‑In with Barcodes

From the moment a child is registered, parents now receive a personalized ticket with a unique barcode for each child. They can store it directly in their digital wallet (Apple Wallet or Google Wallet) for quick, paperless access.

On arrival day, your staff simply scans the barcode to confirm the child’s check‑in, no printed lists and no manual verification. This means:

• Faster check‑in;
• No waiting lines;
• Fewer errors.

The result? A smooth welcome process, reassured parents, and happy kids ready to enjoy their day.

🗓️ Display Group Classes on the Bookings Calendar in the Microsite

Your microsite now displays group classes and facility usage directly in the calendar. Members can instantly see why a court or facility isn’t available at a specific time. Most platforms don’t offer this kind of real-time visibility. This level of transparency can really transform your customer experience. Even better: they can book a court or register for a class directly from the calendar with just one click.

🎂 Send Birthday Messages Automatically

Automatically send a personalized message to members on their birthday (or at a specific age). In addition to celebrating the occasion, you can include:

• An exclusive offer;
• A special discount;
• An invitation to an upcoming event.

It’s a great way to strengthen loyalty and show members that you truly value them.

⚙️ New attendance scanning settings

New options make attendance tracking more flexible and precise:

• Mark attendance for all of a participant’s events on the same day;
• Trigger alerts for early or late check-ins/check-outs;
• Choose whether or not to register attendance in those cases;
• Display the class name when participants have multiple events on the same day (to make it easier to read).

These refinements help your staff work faster while keeping records accurate.

📋 Improved Checkout and Contract Forms

Checkout and contract forms have been significantly improved:

• Full tracking of recipients and associated invoices;
• Translation available to reach a wider audience;
• Filters to quickly find forms in your list;
• Advanced booking filter integrated into analytics;
• Analytics page now displays key data and shows where each form is used (packages, products, etc.).

Even More Updates

This month, we’ve also added:

• Option to limit payment methods to just one in the Point of Sale tab;
• Transfer a coupon from one client to another;
• Automatically free up a spot when a participant marks themselves absent;
• Sort attendance groups by name, age, and apply filters;
• New list type: Clients Tags for grouping and filtering;
• Payment reconciliation issues flagged directly on invoices with resolution tips;
• Barcode scanner support in the ticket scanning tool (default mode);
• Access logs visible to admins when viewing member details;
• Make an add‑on purchase mandatory (e.g., insurance);
• New registration placeholder to identify a membership card (payment forms only);
• Advanced options for managing prerequisites.
