Release scheduled for Tuesday 19 December - lime - 12-12-2023
Dear WuBookers,
we have almost reached the end of another year and, along with the holidays,
comes some news.
The closeness to the high season doesn't allow us to make big changes so
as not to destabilize your work too much, so there will be a few improvements
and some new features.
Here is a list:
01. Direct login to Zak and WooDoo:
- In the login form, you will be able to choose which service to land in with
a simple selection, without going through Wauth each time.
02. Stripe connect (Zak and Woodoo)
- Stripe activated a new method to integrate payments: 'Stripe Connect'.
This new method has been implemented on both Woodoo and Zak.
The old method has been discontinued and will no longer be activatable,
but those who are using it will still be able to continue guaranteeing their
reservations.
What are the advantages of stripe connect over the old method?
You no longer need to share your API key with us, just go to the payment
gateway configuration page, select stripe connect and start the integration
process. You will then be redirected to the stripe page, which will ask you
to log in. What happens now? Your account will be linked to ours, making
payments easier.
Direct debits to credit cards will benefit most of all.
With stripe connect, you will no longer need to enable the feature
"manage credit card data directly", which is getting more and more
hidden and hard to enable.
03. Door codes (zak): the first step towards domotics...
- In each reservation detail you will find an icon to assign a code to each
room. Of course, we have also developed dedicated API keys to manage
the codes from third-party apps.
04. Broom Paper (Zak)
There are many new and improved features in broom paper, both in Zak and
in the web app for the cleaner:
- Automatic task confirmation: many of you asked for it and now we have
implemented it. Along with the other options, you can now also choose to
automate the confirmation of cleaning tasks. It will take place daily.
- It is now possible to postpone or anticipate cleaning tasks in the zView.
- Still within zView, another useful feature requested by some of you,
is the possibility to reset confirmed tasks.
- The cleaner, from his link, can now add notes to rooms with existing
reservations. They will be visible in the reservation detail.
- The cleaner's link will now become a web app: it will be possible to install it
on your device and have it always available.
05. Split vat in the voucher (Zak):
- In the voucher total amount, the value of VAT is separated and highlighted.
06. Feedback (Zak-Booking engine):
- The feedback report was enhanced with the possibility of replying to each
review. Replies will be displayed on Zak online reception and managed in
the report section.
07. Kilyx report (Zak)
The restaurant module report was enriched with additional information
requested by you:
- revenue of services charged to reservations
- revenue of each food
- revenue of service fees
08. Bank transfer as a guarantee method (Zak):
- The bank transfer has been added to the methods for guaranteeing
reservations. By entering your bank details, these will be shown in the
final reservation step of the booking engine.
09. Filter by board in the reservation search (Zak):
- You can also filter the search for a reservation by board.
10. Push notifications (Zak API):
- Within the Zak settings, under 'Zak api' we have added
the possibility of activating push notifications when specific events
occur: check-in, check-out, new reservation and status change.
11. Vat scraping (Zak):
- Automatic compilation of fiscal data by entering the vat number only.
This works when issuing a new invoice, when recording customers'
data, and inside agency/corporate pages.
12. Romanian (Zak booking engine) was added to the languages
compatible with Zak and its Booking Engine.
You can activate it in the booking engine settings.
In addition to these points, work was also done behind the scenes on
the channel manager OTAs (both in Zak and Woodoo) to update drivers,
new APIs and structural software improvements.
Towards the next release:
What you were waiting for is not in this release? Don't worry!
In addition to the news of this release, we have also been moving
forward with the next big projects.
With the New Year will come many more new features, including:
- New mobile app for Zak!
As you know, we have been working on the new Zak App for months.
Work is progressing well, very well.
It's not 100% completed yet, but we're well on our way, we're happy
with the results.
A first private beta with some first features will be published in the stores soon.
There are so many new features that we should dedicate a post just for it!
Stay tuned and happy holidays!

Great to hear there is a new app! Is it possible to be one of the testers while in beta?
