Payment Request: Default Action Now Matches Trip Configuration Fix

When you send a payment request to a customer, the “If paid before deadline” dropdown now automatically matches your tour’s confirmation mode. For example, if your tour is set to auto-confirm bookings on payment, this dropdown will default to “mark booking as confirmed.” If your tour uses manual confirmation, it will default to “move to pending confirmation” instead.

Previously, this dropdown always defaulted to the first option regardless of how the tour was configured — which meant you had to remember to change it manually every time.

Pax Count Field: Validation Fix Fix

Fixed an issue where a “Pax Count” field on inquiry or booking forms could be saved without selecting any passenger types (e.g. Adults, Children), resulting in a broken field on the storefront. The form builder now validates that at least one passenger type is selected before saving, and shows which specific field has the problem.

The My Account page in the backoffice has been redesigned with a cleaner layout, splitting your profile and security settings into separate tabs for easier navigation.

Security tab: Change your password, view your assigned roles and permissions, and see all devices currently logged into your account.
Sign out all other devices: A single button to log out of every other session, including devices where you clicked Remember me when signing in.
Phone number collection: Team members are now required to provide a personal mobile number (with country code) for account security and urgent support communication.

Blog: Faster Images, Richer Author Profiles, and Better SEO Improvement

Your blog just got faster and more search-friendly. We’ve rolled out a set of improvements to the native blog platform that boost page speed and strengthen your blog’s SEO.

Faster image loading: Blog images now load through the CDN with responsive sizing, so visitors on mobile get smaller images and visitors on desktop get sharper ones — without you having to do anything. Images also load lazily, meaning they only download as the visitor scrolls down, improving your page speed scores.
Richer author profiles for search engines: Author listing pages now include ProfilePage schema markup, helping Google connect your authors to their content. You can also add Works For and Knows About fields to author profiles, giving search engines more context about your team’s expertise.
Better breadcrumbs and image accessibility: Breadcrumbs on blog pages now display the actual page title instead of a generic label, and hero images include proper descriptive text for search engines and screen readers.
