Turn it on when you want it. Under Settings → Job Preferences, switch on Require approval for online bookings. It's off by default, so nothing changes until you choose it.

Requests wait for you. With approval on, a client who books online sees that their request was received and gets a "request received" text instead of a confirmation. The job shows as Requested on your dashboard and calendar, and the time stays held.

Approve or decline in one tap. Open the job and tap Approve to confirm it (the client gets the normal confirmation text) or Decline to turn it down (the client is told, and the time opens back up).

A nudge if you forget. If a request is still waiting inside the last 24 hours before its time, you get one text asking you to decide.

New statuses for the real world. Jobs can now be marked Cancelled or No-show, and declined requests show as Declined. All of them appear in Insights → Job Status Distribution.

The first visit is booked. The rest are confirmed. When you create a subscription, the first visit goes on the calendar as booked and the client gets a text. When you complete it, the next visit is scheduled as Pending and the client gets a text with a link to confirm or skip. Confirmed visits become Booked; skipped ones are declined and the one after still comes.

Pick the day of the week. Choose Repeat on when you set up the subscription, and every visit lands on that weekday.

See future visits before they're real. Later visits show on your calendar as faded Projected entries. By default their time is Held, so nobody can book over it online. Turn Hold time for future visits off if you'd rather keep those slots open.

Catch conflicts early. The Scheduled Jobs Preview flags any visit that clashes with something already on your calendar before you save, and you get a push notification if a new visit lands on a busy time.

Decide what happens when a client doesn't answer. Under Settings → Job Preferences → If a client doesn't respond, choose Hold & notify (you get a text, the visit stays pending), Auto-confirm, or Auto-skip.

Confirm or skip for them. On a Pending visit, tap Confirm or Skip yourself if the client calls instead of tapping the link.

Pause, resume, edit, extend. Pause a subscription for a client's vacation and resume on the date you pick. Edit the interval, end date, address or vehicles and only future visits change. Subscriptions created before this update keep running as they are; use Extend Subscription to move them onto the new model when they run out.

Templates stay honest. A template whose service or add-on was deleted is flagged and can't be used for new subscriptions until you fix it.

Three ways to pay. Every plan can now be billed monthly, quarterly (save 10%) or yearly (save 20%). Yearly works out to $15, $79 or $159 a month for Essential, Choice and Exclusive.

Launch offer through December 31. Go yearly before the end of the year and pay for 9 months, get 12: $168, $900 or $1,788 for the first year.

Yearly comes with a rate lock and a refund window. Your price is locked for 12 months, and you can get a full refund within 30 days of a yearly charge.

Switch from your account page. On detailermade.com/account, monthly and quarterly subscribers see a Switch to yearly card. Switching to a longer term applies right away with credit for what you've already paid; switching to a shorter one takes effect at the end of your current term.

Pause for the slow season. Monthly subscribers can pause for 1, 2 or 3 months, once a year. The pause starts when your current month ends, your booking page shows you're not taking bookings, your data stays put, and you can resume early any time. You'll find it on your account page and as an option before you cancel.

A reminder before renewals. Quarterly and yearly plans get an email 7 days before each charge.

Available slots load further out. When creating a job with Available Slots, the calendar keeps loading month by month instead of going empty after about six weeks.

Daylight saving no longer shifts subscription visits. Every visit stays at the same clock time across the November time change.

New Subscription's Save button turns on as soon as everything is filled in, whatever order you fill it.

Signing up a second time with an email that already had a trial is refused with a sign-in link instead of creating a duplicate account in our billing system.

Billing events that failed to process are now retried instead of being silently dropped.
