Discount Codes<\/h3>\n

Deals and discounts are a big part of finding new customers and keeping regular customers interested. With Discount Codes, you now have the ability to create exciting new offers for your clients, all without any hard work on your end.<\/p>\n

The customization is all in your hands. It\u2019s up to you how long the codes are available for, how many times each customer can use the codes, even the code itself: it\u2019s entirely customizable for your business and your deals. Needless to say, you also have a wealth of Marketing components to get your discount codes into the right hands.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Custom Payment Methods<\/h3>\n

We know, there can never be enough options for accepting money. \u00a0Why can’t you just accept all money? \u00a0With Custom Payment Methods, you have just gotten one step closer to that dream.<\/p>\n

In addition to accepting all normal forms of payment, Custom Payment Methods now allow you to keep track of outstanding balances outside of the normal world of payments. \u00a0This is especially useful for insurance tracking, but has a wealth of other uses as well. \u00a0Here’s how it looks.<\/p>\n

Creating your new custom payment methods is easy. Simply head to the Setup screen, click the Business tab in the side menu, then choose the Payment Methods option in the sidebar. All your default payment methods will appear in blue, while your customized methods will appear in green. Feel free to play around! Only the methods you choose to make available in the online store will be shown to clients.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Google Calendar Integration<\/h3>\n

Your schedule has a lot of information that can be very useful to your staff and clients, but some of them may use a different calendar to organize their day-to-day tasks. Now you can make sure that everyone will see their schedule, no matter what calendar they use, with WellnessLiving and Google Calendar Sync.<\/p>\n

With this new addition, your staff and clients can synchronize their WellnessLiving Schedules with their Google Calendars. When synced, your entire personal WellnessLiving schedule will show up right on your Google Calendar, and even right on your Android\/iPhone.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
