Ever wish the software could charge clients on the day of their booking, or charge weekly for services used, and do so automatically?
Now BusyPaws can do this and more. Payment Terms allow you to customize due dates for full or partial payments on any invoice - and automate collection of those terms by charging stored cards. Read more about configuring Payment Terms in the Help Center.
Automated Billing allows you to set a frequency to issue new invoices (Daily/Weekly/Monthly), generates preview invoices nightly for clients who have uninvoiced bookings in the past or future and combined with Payment Terms can automatically collect payment when issued or at a date thereafter! Learn more about how to configure Automatic Billing here, and please let us know how you're making use of these features in your business.
Tasks are a new feature within BusyPaws to enable you to track and assign the most important activities that need to be accomplished within your business.
@mention or assign team members to ensure they receive notifications and updates, tag #clients or ##pets to generate quick links to their respective profiles.
There are many ways to use Tasks within your workflows. Check out the help article to learn more about using Tasks in your business.
We've just released additional customizable automated notifications to every account:
Additionally, the default "Welcome" notification can now be triggered to be sent any time a new client registers on your account.
For more information on the new notifications, please check this help article.
Messaging within BusyPaws has focused on Transactional (Booking confirmations, automated reminders, payment receipts, etc.) and Conversational content.
Today we're launching Marketing messaging within BusyPaws. Campaigns allow you to message any number of clients within a segment, at any given frequency.
Want to message every client that has taken a particular class, or that you haven't seen in a while? And want to send a message once per month to those clients? No problem, you can do that with Campaigns!
Check out these help articles for more on what you can do with Campaigns:
Please note that to begin to send Campaigns you must also configure a custom sending domain. More on custom domains here.
Requirements to deliver Marketing messaging greatly increase and deliverability greatly decreases when compared to Transactional and Conversational email. Marketing messaging can also risk deliverability of all other types of messaging from a domain if reputation begins to slide. Please refer to our article on best practices for messaging to ensure your sending reputation remains healthy!
