January 2026 Release Summary
We've shipped a lot of improvements to Easy Appointment Booking since the start of 2026. Here are the highlights:
🎯 Appear Busy
Employees can now hide a percentage of their available slots so their calendar looks busier. Great for creating urgency and managing demand without actually blocking time.
🏷️ Customer Tier Tags
Staff can now see Shopify customer tags (like "Gold Tier" or "VIP") right inside booking details. No more switching between apps to check membership level.
📦 Booking Info on Order Pages
A new Shopify admin extension shows booking details directly on the order detail page. Service name, date, employee, status all visible without leaving the order.
🌍 Danish, Polish & Mandarin Chinese
Full storefront calendar translations for three new languages, plus Danish in the admin settings.
🔒 Reliability & Security
We fixed a Google Calendar sync issue that was causing token refresh storms, added duplicate booking prevention with distributed locking, built email abuse protection to stop reschedule spam, and added retry logic to our notification system so emails don't get lost during database spikes.
Other notable improvements:
• Pagination and sorting on the events table
• Variant name cleanup in booking emails
• Waitlist fix for homepage embeds
• Package event ordering now matches admin-defined order
• POS check-in status fix in Agenda view
• Refreshed onboarding copy and UI
