Changelog

Cancelling an order cancels its tasks. Setting it back to Confirmed used to leave them cancelled, so the job vanished from the crew app. Now the tasks come back: a task that had a crew member returns to them as Assigned and they're notified, and an open task returns to Pending for anyone to claim. Reopening a single cancelled task on Tasks also gives it back to whoever had it.

The Contractor Auto-Assignment switch in Automation settings was saved but never read, so every new delivery was offered out one contractor at a time whatever it said. Tasks now follow the switch, and it starts off for businesses that never turned it on. The Generate Tasks option on an order still decides for that order.

The two-hour unclaimed-task alert used to fire for every open task. If you run the jobs yourself and have no approved contractors, it now stays quiet.

Import on the Customers page now takes a CSV as well as JSON. Columns such as Name, Email, Phone, Company, Address and Zip are matched by name, columns it doesn't know are listed as ignored, and ZIP codes Excel shortened get their leading zero back. Download CSV template gives you a file to start from, and PartyPad's own customer export imports cleanly.

Booking page settings have a new How customers pay choice: Card at checkout or Pay later. With Pay later, customers press Book now, the review step shows nothing due today along with your payment instructions, and the booking is confirmed straight away with the full balance due. Stripe is no longer required to switch on a pay-later booking page.

The list of rentals under the date picker repeated the rentals step, so it's gone. Each rental still has its own page that search engines can find.

You own one of each inflatable, so the quantity stepper offered a choice that never existed. The whole card now toggles a rental in or out. Add-ons such as tables, chairs and concessions keep their stepper.

Walkthrough videos play right in the help center, with a chapter list so you can jump to the step you need. They're hosted by PartyPad, so no third-party video player tracks you. The ? button in the dashboard links straight to the video for the page you're on.

Deleting an order used to leave its open tasks assigned, still on the crew's schedule, the dashboard and the map. They are now cancelled, the same way they are when an order is cancelled. Completed tasks are left as they are.

Add codes in the Coupons card of booking page settings. Customers select Have a code? on the review step and see the new total straight away. A code is checked again when they pay, the discount shows on their confirmation email, and a fully refunded booking gives its use back.

Give an inventory item price tiers for longer rentals. The booking page shows them and quotes each rental by the dates the customer picks, always using the cheapest tier that fits. Copy tiers applies one item's tiers to others.

Turn on Require a signature under your rental terms and customers type their name and draw a signature on the review step before paying. The signed PDF is emailed with their confirmation, and you can download it from the order with Download signed agreement. It keeps the terms exactly as they were signed, even if you edit them later.

• A delivery's payment question now asks whether the customer paid in cash or by check.
• Cash collection on delivery completions.
