  4. New option for automatic invoice generation settings

    Improvement

    We’ve just made invoice automation even more flexible.

    Previously, you could manually generate invoices as soon as a reservation is booked. Now, you can go fully hands-off with a new automatic generation option.

     

    You can now choose when invoices should be automatically created:

    After checkout date (default) – Invoices are generated the day after your guest checks out.

    After reservation is confirmed (new) – Invoices are now automatically created as soon as a reservation is booked.

    This new option helps you speed up your workflow, especially if you invoice guests early or need documents ready for accounting right away.

     

    More control, less manual work.
