We’re excited to announce the launch of Packages, a new feature for merchants who want to offer more flexibility to their customers while boosting booking revenue. With Packages, you can let customers purchase a bundle of services now and book them at their convenience later.

Why You’ll Love It
Upfront Revenue
: Take booking payments in advance, even if the appointments are scheduled later.
Track Everything
: Easily monitor the packages purchased, the sessions redeemed, and remaining bookings — all one click away from your dashboard.
Customer Flexibility
: Perfect for consultations, fitness classes, or any repeat services, customers can purchase now and book when it suits them.
How it works:
  1. Click on Create New Package from the top right of the Dashboard.
  2. Select the Product: Each package must be linked to a Shopify product. When a customer purchases this product, they will be able to redeem the events or services you select.
  3. Decide which events or services can be redeemed if this package is purchased. Set number of bookings redeemable on this event.
  4. Expiration (Optional): Set an expiration period (e.g., 6 months from purchase) if there’s a timeframe for the customer to redeem their bookings. This can create urgency and encourage prompt scheduling.

  • Boost Revenue
    : Capture additional sales with each booking — our early adopters have seen a 6% increase in AOV within the first month!

This is designed for attaching physical products to your services, available for you on the Pro plan and up. We hope this helps boost that revenue for a strong finish to the year. We look forward to your feedback -- happy booking!
We’re excited to share a new feature to help you communicate to your customers clearer and easier than today. Our app now supports multiple languages, making it easier for your customers from different regions — regions like Quebec and Switzerland or brands with global locations — to book appointments in their own language, all with a streamlined setup!
Here’s what’s new:
  • Language Settings Made Easy:
    You can now choose between Single Language or Multi-Language modes right from the Text & Language Settings tab in your app.
  • Automatic Translations:
    For single-language stores, we’ll automatically translate strings to your selected language to keep everything user-friendly.
  • Shopify Integrated:
    This works natively with Shopify Translate & Adapt, so you can define your Shopify locale which Easy Appointment Booking can pick up automatically for the calendar.
  • Global Reach:
    This update will help your customers across different regions feel right at home when booking appointments!
To try this out, go to the Settings tab, under Text and Language. Select Single Language if you operate with one language which will translate automatically. Select Multi Language to support a default language.

If the customer changes their language using Translate & Adapt, they can see the changed language.

Whether you’re a free or paid customer, this feature is available to you! We’re committed to making your experience as smooth as possible, no matter where your customers are coming from. Let us know how it works for you. Happy booking!
We're thrilled to announce a new feature that makes scheduling even simpler for your customers. Now, when someone starts the booking process on your Shopify store, the next available date and time are automatically selected right away. No more clicking through dates and times —it's all set up for a faster checkout!
Why You'll Love This Update:
Boost Your Bookings
: A quicker booking process leads to better conversion rates for you, with less customers dropping off along the way who would be searching for a timeslot.
Seamless Experience
: Now the customer will be routed to the first available time right away, making it easier for customers to complete their bookings without hesitation.
Works Hand-in-Hand with Other Tools
: It pairs perfectly with our other features like directing customers straight to checkout and allowing them to book another appointment immediately after the first one, improving your overall conversion rate..
To enable this go to Settings > General > Storefront > Gray Out Unavailable Dates. If you have unavailable dates for the rest of the month, we will prompt the customer to go to the next month which then finds the next timeslot.
We're always working to improve and make things easier for you and your customers. Give this new feature a try and watch your bookings grow!
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or feedback.

We’ve just made your customers’ shopping experience even better! If your customers buy from you in their native language (ie. French, German, Spanish), now those languages stay consistent from booking to checkout!
With native language translation on your storefront, your customers can enjoy a fully localized experience, including during Shopify cart and checkout. Previously, this process was locked in English, but no more!
Translated
Here’s what this means for you:
Fully localized experience
: Customers can now book, add to cart, and check out in their preferred language.
Greater accessibility
: Attract and serve customers in their native language, making your store even more welcoming.
Improved conversions
: A more comfortable, native shopping experience could lead to better engagement and more bookings!
Your international customers will love how easy it is to book in their own language from start to finish. All you have to do is set your Settings > Text & Language preference to the language of your choice.
Additional Note on External Connections
While Google, Outlook, and Zoom function the same, please note that the date and time fields now contain an underscore before these values for you to consider when using Klaviyo and Zapier. You can see these values on the Shopify Order.

We’ve just made booking even smoother for your customers! 🎉
Introducing a handy “Next available date” button that automatically appears when dates are fully booked in the current month. Now, when your customers can’t find an available date, they can simply jump to the next month!
CleanShot 2024-09-22 at 21
This means:
Faster bookings
: No more endless scrolling or searching for an available spot.
Better conversion rates
: Keep customers engaged by helping them find the next available time slot easily.
Ideal for busy stores
: Perfect if you tend to get booked up quickly!
This small change makes a big difference for your customer experience and could even lead to more bookings. 🎯 There's no setting or update required, it's available for all plans today!
We have shipped the following improvements over the last week.
  • Fixed a bug where bookings made were not being grouped inside Google Calendar.
  • Improved the storefront calendar date localization for European languages.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking on "View Booking" from the Shopify Orders page was not showing the correct booking
We've added a super useful feature that gives you more control over your booking subscriptions.
Now, you can set expiry times on your subscriptions.
image
Here’s how it works:
Choose a specific date for your package to expire. For example, if you’re selling a season pass, you can now set an exact end date for the season.
Or, set an expiry based on a certain number of days after purchase. Perfect for keeping things flexible!
And if you don’t want to set an expiry at all for your customers? No problem—you can leave it open-ended. Customers will be able to redeem bookings indefinitely into the feature.
Managing these settings is a breeze, too! Just head over to the Event management page to customize expiry times for each package.
We've also updated the Customer Portal so that your customers can easily see how much time they have left to redeem their subscriptions. Transparency = happy customers! 😊
Give it a try and let us know how it works for you!
