Release Notes
New features, improvements, and fixes shipped to your Vacation Labs account.
Get better cashflow and reward customers who pay in full
Coupons that require full payment You can now create coupons that require customers to pay the full booking amount upfront. When a customer applies one of these coupons, the option to pay only a partial deposit is automatically switched off, and they pay in full to confirm the booking. Until now, a coupon only changed […]
Read more →Link-preview images now show on social shares Fix
Links shared from the website to Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and other platforms now show the correct preview thumbnail. The preview image (og:image) previously used a relative path that those platforms reject as invalid, so no thumbnail appeared; it now uses a full absolute URL.
Already-shared links may still show the old, blank preview until the platform re-scrapes the page. Most platforms offer a sharing debugger that forces a refresh.
Choose any Google Font for your website
Choose any Google Font for your website Instead of choosing from a short fixed list, you can now set your website’s Heading Font and Body Font to any family from the full Google Fonts catalogue, and pick the exact weight and style (ExtraBold, Light, italic, and everything in between) for each.
Read more →Payment Re-sync and Auto-recovery for PayU India Improvement
PayU India payments now confirm automatically even when a customer doesn’t make it back to your website after paying. If they close the tab, lose connectivity, or their browser drops the redirect, PayU now notifies Vacation Labs directly, so a payment that actually succeeded is no longer left looking “pending” or “failed”. This brings PayU India in line with the auto-confirmation already in place for Razorpay.
Localization fixes: collection buttons and passenger warnings Fix
Why the change: most sites were overriding their own localization without realising this per-trip field existed. Rather than keep a setting that quietly shadows Localization, it has been removed; warning text is still customisable per language under Website > Localization.
Banner overlay color now covers the full banner width Fix
On banner slides with an overlay color set, a recent change had unintentionally narrowed the overlay to a column behind the banner text instead of tinting the full banner. The overlay color now covers the full banner width again, while the slide’s text and buttons still clear the left and right carousel arrows.
Fixed: ‘Custom domain can’t be blank’ error when saving website settings Fix
Websites on a Vacation Labs subdomain (no custom domain) with HTTPS not enabled got a “Custom domain can’t be blank” error when saving website settings, which blocked the save. This has been fixed — enabling HTTPS is no longer required to save when there is no custom domain.
A Cleaner, More Readable Departure List
A cleaner way for customers to pick their departure date If your booking form is set to show departures as a list, your customers will notice a cleaner, more readable experience. On desktop, each departure is now a single compact row — showing the date, tour variant, availability status, price, and Book button all at […]

Promote coupons and discounts while customers are actively booking
The coupon section on your tour pages has been visually redesigned, and coupons can now be individually configured to also appear inside the booking form itself. Previously, coupon banners were only shown on your tour page and collection pages — once a customer clicked “Book Now,” there was no reminder of available discounts until they […]
