Recent Feature Releases
Bonds
We have recently rolled out the ability to include a bond in the Shopify order. A bond will allow you to add an additional product to the cart that has a set fee. Depending on your store's policy, you can refund the bond after the booking ends. The bond feature is available for Premium and up app subscribers, and you must use a booking widget to take advantage of this feature. Click here for more info.
Deposits
BTA now allows you to take deposits! A deposit will allow you to charge a set fee, or percentage, of the product cost during the order process. You can then collect the remaining amount at the time of the booking. It is important to note that the deposit feature is only available to Premium and up app subscribers, and you must use a booking widget to take advantage of the new feature. Click here for more info.

Another common example is a tour guide that conducts several different types of tours for attendees from multiple bookings. With both examples, once the resource is booked for a particular product it will be able to be applied to other bookings...
Update to the Notification Email
We recently made an update to the notification email. Previously, the notification email was only available when using the stand alone booking form. We had a lot of feedback requesting that this email be available under other booking scenarios. As part of our continuous development of BookThatApp, we have updated the notification email to apply under all booking scenarios. Now you decide when the app will send the notification email. By accessing the notification email template in the app, you can choose the conditions under which the notification email will send. For more details, check out the following link. Managing the...
