Event Notes can now be multiple lines long.
We have updated the notes to support multi-line messages. That means you can now add paragraphs, lists, and more. Here's an example of a note:
When a customer books, the note will be part of the email that is sent to them:
To make sure this is working correctly, go to Settings > Email & SMS and verify that your email templates have this section inside them (copy/paste the snippet below):
{{#if event_notes}}
<p>{{{event_notes}}}</p>
{{/if}}
We have updated the dashboard of the app to be cleaner so its easier to find what you're looking for.
- We have added a single button that you can use to disable all events and services that are offered. This is great for seasonal businesses.
- We have cleaned up the layout and have a single row of quick action buttons to create events, manage bookings, and more.

Improvements to event creation
We have made some improvements to the event creation flow to make it easier to understand.
Improved support for phones and tablets
Creating a new event is easier on your phone or tablet. We have made some buttons larger and made it easier to select availabilities.
Better notification when inventory is enabled
If your product has inventory tracking enabled and is currently "sold out", then your customers will not be able to book appointments for it. To fix this, you need to uncheck the "Track Quantity" checkbox.
Now, when you create an event with a product in this state, the app will let you know.

Improvements and bug fixes
We made several improvements across the app.
- Booking searches are now case-insensitive. That means searching for "lucas" or "Lucas" will result in the same results.
- Creating multiple date overrides is now easier, because the time you enter for 1 date will automatically carry over to the other dates, which means less mouse clicks.
- The "Mark conflict as resolved" button now has a loading state. This button lets you manually clear double-bookings.
Today, we're excited to launch a new widget -- the
Mutiple Event Calendar
. With this new calendar, you can:- Have a single calendar which shows your availability for multiple events (ex: all the classes that you offer)
- Let your customers select a timeslot from the calendar
- Show the calendar on any Shopify page!
Demo
- Click here to view the new embedded event calendar on our demo store.
- Click on the "Book Now" button on the demo store (bottom right) to see the pop-up calendar.
Setup instructions
This feature is available to our Pro and Pro Plus customers.
- Go to the Widgetstab within Easy Appointment Booking.
- Update the settings to enable the "Calendar of Popular Events"
- Press Save Changes
- Preview your changes by clicking the Book Now button on the left side of the page, or view it on your store website.
Easy Appointment Booking can create draft orders for free bookings. This is useful if you want customers to book for free, but want to send them an invoice later. Draft orders can be converted into real orders through the Shopify Admin.
We added a new setting that lets our Pro Plus customers control whether or not draft orders are automatically created for any free bookings that are made.
Event Subscriptions are a good way to increase your average order value. They let you charge the customer for a group of bookings, which they can redeem later.
For example, you may have sell 6 bookings for a Yoga Class. The customer would pay for all 6 up-front, but can redeem them later.
Now, you can have unlimited redeemable bookings within a Subscription. This is great for Season Passes. Your customer can purchase a season pass and create unlimited bookings for the season. You can set an "expiry" time on the event at the end of the season.
When creating a subscription event, you can choose from:
- A specific number of bookings
- An unlimited number of bookings
This feature is available to Pro and Pro Plus customers.
You can now edit the title that appears in your Google Calendar invite.
To customize the title:
- Click on Managebeside the event you want to edit from the Dashboard.
- Scroll down to the Google Calendar Setupsection.
- Edit the textbox under Custom Google Calendar Event Title.
You can add variables here to customize the title for each of your events.
- {booking_id} -- This is the Booking ID
- {event_name} -- This is the event name
- {availability_name} -- The full name of the availability assigned to this booking
- {order_id} -- The Shopify Order ID if it exists.
- {first_name} -- Customer's first name
- {last_name} -- Customer's last name
If you leave this field blank, the Google Calendar event will be titled
{event_name}
. This is available for all Pro and Pro Plus customers.- We have fixed a bug where shop owners were not getting email notifications if a customer cancelled a booking.
- We added a new setting called "Timeslot spacing" that determines how far apart your time slots are (in minutes). For example, if you set this to "60 minutes", your time slots will appear at 9:00AM, 10:00AM, 11:00AM, etc.
- We made the app load faster from the Shopify Admin Dashboard.
