🔗 New Integrations
QuickBooks Integration (Beta)
We've introduced a comprehensive QuickBooks integration that automatically syncs your CloudBridal customer orders and payments as QuickBooks invoices and payments. This integration streamlines your accounting workflow by eliminating manual data entry between systems.
Key Features:
- Automatic synchronization of orders and payments
- Cutoff Date feature to test on recent orders only
- Seamless data transfer from CloudBridal to QuickBooks
Please note: This integration is currently in Beta. We recommend starting with the Cutoff Date feature to test on a subset of orders. As always, consult with your accountant for accounting-related questions.

Enhanced Mailchimp Sync
The Mailchimp integration now offers more flexibility with custom date range selection when manually syncing your contact data, giving you better control over your marketing campaigns.
📅 Smarter Appointment Management
Improved Appointment Status Logic
We've refined how appointment cancellations work to be more intuitive:
- Pending appointments → Move to "Declined" when cancelled
- Confirmed appointments → Move to "Cancelled" when cancelled
- The system now tracks who cancelled the appointment (customer vs. staff) for better record-keeping
- Appointment end reasons are now displayed in more places, including reports
Enhanced Scheduling Features
Seasonal Date Ranges: Appointment schedules now support event and seasonal date ranges, allowing you to adjust capacity based on busy seasons (think prom, wedding season, etc.).
Per-Schedule Lead Times: Set different minimum booking lead times for specific schedules - perfect for requiring longer notice on weekend appointments.
Staff Schedule Visibility: Staff member schedules now appear in the appointment calendar's Notes area, so you can see who's working at a glance.
Better Sale Tracking
The "Resulted in Sale" flag now calculates more accurately, considering any customer order placed within 1 day of a first-time appointment as a successful conversion.
💳 Advanced Payment Features
Stripe Integration Enhancements
For charged appointments and no-show fees, you can now specify what happens after payment is processed:
- No Further Action (default)
- Record as Sale: Automatically creates a completed order and payment record
- Record as Unapplied Credit: Creates a credit that can be applied to future purchases
This gives you more flexibility in how you handle appointment fees and deposits.
Cash Payment Helper
A new change calculator makes cash transactions easier by automatically calculating the change amount for your customers.
📦 Inventory & Vendor Improvements
Vendor Lead Time Management
Set special order lead times for each vendor in your Vendors list. The system will automatically calculate Expected Arrival Dates for both customer orders and purchase orders, with support for multiple lead times (including rush shipping options).
Clearer Inventory Display
Inventory item details now clearly separate "Options for Special Order" from "Available Inventory" to eliminate confusion between what's in stock versus what can be ordered.
🔐 Enhanced Security
Document Protection
Signed documents now have additional protection - only store admins can delete them, and even then, the system requires confirmation to prevent accidental deletions.
