Changelog ​

All notable updates, new features, and improvements to BridalOp.

v1.2 — July 28, 2026 ​

A wide update spanning point of sale, purchasing, reporting, booking, and integrations — much of it driven directly by boutique feedback.

Point of Sale & Orders ​

  • Per-item sales tax. Products now have a Charge sales tax on this item toggle (default on). Turn it off for tax-exempt items like services, and tax is charged only on taxable lines at checkout. The POS cart adds a per-line Tax checkbox to override on the spot. See Products and POS Terminal.
  • New "Service" product class — for items like Wedding Day Delivery, alongside Gown, Bridesmaid, Accessory, etc. See Products.
  • Reassign salesperson on a completed order — owners and managers can correct a mis-typed salesperson on a finalized sale without reopening it; the commission is recomputed for the corrected person so every report agrees. See Orders.

Purchase Orders ​

  • Shipping & Fees (landed cost). Record extra inbound costs — Shipping, Tariff/Duty, Customs, Processing, Handling, or Other — per item or shipment-wide, with a Goods + Fees = Total landed cost summary. See Purchase Orders.
  • Un-receive a line — reverse a mis-entered receive: it removes the created inventory unit (unless already sold/reserved) and reverts the line so it can be corrected and received again. See Purchase Orders.

Reporting & Analytics ​

  • New Sales by Zip Code report — traffic and sales grouped by customer zip.
  • Close Ratio now has a Consultation Types multi-select, so you choose exactly which appointment types count as bridal consultations (no missed closes).
  • Commissions report supports a tenant-wide "X% on all sales" rule and shows the actually-applied rate and de-duplicated totals.
  • Team Sales now credits the assigned salesperson (falling back to whoever rang it up), so sales aren't shown as "Unassigned".
  • Revenue figures across reports are shown net of sales tax.

Products, Inventory & Vendors ​

  • Copy add-ons from another vendor in one step — for vendors that share an identical add-on list. See Vendors.
  • Auto-generated barcodes when you add an inventory item without typing one.
  • More label formats & print options — Avery 5160, Dymo 30334 (2¼×1¼), a 2⅛×4 notes label and per-item notes sheet, MSRP-strikethrough + sale price, and print-field toggles. See Inventory.

Appointments & Booking ​

  • Minimum booking notice and bookable date-windows on appointment types; same-day appointments on the staff booking page. See Booking Settings.
  • Save card on file for free appointments and a Charge cancellation fee action on the appointment slide-over.
  • Owner/manager alerts (opt-in) for new bookings, cancellations, and reschedules; client self-cancel/reschedule now notify staff in-app with a Rescheduled indicator.
  • Possible-duplicate flagging — matching booking names prompt staff instead of silently merging.
  • A unified, editable "How did you hear about us" source list drives the booking question and reports; on-booking profile fields and the booking address now save to the customer profile.

Dashboard ​

  • New Awaiting Completion panel — past-due appointments never marked complete, so you can reconcile them (and keep Close Ratio accurate). "Needs Confirmation" no longer flags already-confirmed appointments. See Dashboard.

Staff & Roles ​

  • New Accountant role (reports + read-only financials), multiple owners, and a "choose your store" login + store switcher for team members in more than one boutique account. See Staff and Roles & Permissions.

Automations & Integrations ​

  • New "Send a contract" automation action — tie a contract to an action (e.g. special order placed → send the Special-Order Agreement). See Automations.
  • New Klaviyo integration — sync customers out to Klaviyo, and bring Klaviyo leads into BridalOp via a private webhook URL (deduped, tagged lead).

Customers & Data ​

  • Email a customer directly from their profile with a branded compose modal, logged to their timeline. See Customers.
  • Import duplicate handling clarified and hardened — with the Skip strategy, re-importing the same file won't create duplicate customers or duplicate inventory. See Import Data.

Fixes & Hardening ​

  • Appointment times in email and in-app notifications now match your calendar exactly (timezone fix).
  • Ongoing security and dependency hardening.

v1.1 — May 14, 2026 ​

The first post-GA update — focused on reporting depth and booking flexibility.

Reporting & Analytics ​

  • New Sales Dashboard at /reports/sales-dashboard — seven KPI tiles in one screen (Revenue This Month / Quarter / YTD with deltas, Appointments Booked, Close Ratio with weekly sparkline, Gross Margin by Department, Highest Margin Categories). Every tile drills into the underlying report. Pinned to the top of /reports and the home Dashboard.
  • New Department Margin report at /reports/department-margin — gross margin grouped by product type (Gowns / Bridesmaid / Accessories / Veils / Shoes / Alterations / Other) with KPI tiles, a bar chart, and a per-department table.
  • New Close Ratio report at /reports/close-ratio — bridal-appointment-to-gown-sale conversion ratio with a configurable window (14 / 30 / 60 / 90 days), store and per-consultant views, and a dedup rule that stops repeat consultations from inflating the number.
  • Category Sales report gained COGS, Gross Margin, and Margin % columns.
  • order_lines.unit_cost is now snapshotted at sale time, so historical margin doesn't drift later when product costs change. Existing orders backfilled from the inventory item's purchase price (with fallbacks).

Public Booking ​

  • New Appointment Categories — group your appointment types into customer-facing buckets (Bridal, Bridesmaid, Service Visits, etc.). The public booking page gains a new What are you here for? step between location and type pick. Tenants with no categories keep the existing flat list. Uncategorized types surface under a synthetic Other bucket.
  • New Show on public booking page flag on appointment types — distinct from Active. Lets you keep a type usable by staff (e.g., Pickup, Alterations Fitting, Trunk Show) while hiding it from the public page. Cards in the Appointment Types list now show a Staff only badge when the flag is off. When every type is hidden, the public page falls back to a "please call the boutique" message.

Vendors ​

  • New Portal URL field on vendors — the URL of the vendor's own account portal (where you log in to place POs, check stock, etc.). Auto-prepends https:// if you paste a bare domain. Surfaced in four places: a prominent Open Portal button on the vendor profile header, the vendor contact card, an external-link icon in the vendor list, and an Open Portal ↗ link under the vendor name on every Purchase Order detail page.

Staff & Access ​

  • New Account Access card under the Staff page (owners only) — grant another existing BridalOp account the ability to switch into your account with full administrator access. Distinct from inviting a staff member: the grantee keeps their own home tenant and uses the account switcher in their sidebar to flip between accounts. Email + in-app notification invite, single-click accept, revoke or self-revoke any time.

v1.0 — May 4, 2026 ​

BridalOp is out of beta. v1.0 is generally available to every boutique, with a substantial list of new modules and platform polish layered on top of the beta foundation.

  • Quotes — pre-sale estimates with a public Accept / Decline page, one-click conversion to a draft order or invoice
  • Customer Forms — build reusable questionnaires (style preferences, intake, post-appointment surveys) sent via email + SMS with a tokenized fill page

  • Lookbook + Automations (v1) — shareable customer-facing catalog plus the first slice of the Automations engine for follow-ups, reminders, and curated lists
  • Referral Program — built-in referral tracking so brides can refer friends and earn rewards

Booking & Appointments ​

  • New Checklist Templates — reusable task lists tied to appointment types; ticking on the slide-over stamps name + timestamp and writes to the activity log

  • Card Readers as a top-level Settings page with full Stripe + Square pairing flows

Customer Profile ​

  • New Forms tab for sending and reviewing customer questionnaires
  • New Internal Documents files category gated by the customer-files.internal permission (Owner + Manager by default)

  • Scope selector now supports Store Total, any Location, or any Staff member
  • Non-owners / non-managers see a personal Your [Month] Goal ring on the Dashboard, attributed via sold_by (matches commissions)
