Kiosk Mode for iPad, recurring bookings, and gift cards

This release is Seglo's biggest single update yet. Kiosk Mode turns an iPad into an in-store front desk. Recurring bookings finally arrive. Gift cards become a real, fully-integrated product. Onboarding tailors itself to your industry. And a clean new pricing structure makes choosing a plan obvious.

Kiosk Mode for iPad

Park an iPad on your counter and use it as a dedicated, locked-down front desk.

One-tap activation

Any authenticated staff member can activate Kiosk Mode. The iPad becomes a kiosk-only experience with three tiles — Book, Charge, Contacts — and clean bottom-tab navigation.

Booking wizard

A 5-step booking flow optimised for tablet: client search, service, staff, time, confirm. Or use the web calendar inside the kiosk.

Quick Charge

Take a payment without an appointment. Tap in an amount, choose cash or card, hand over the receipt.

Contacts

Two-column layout with search, inline booking, and a client detail panel. Add new clients without leaving the page.

A kiosk-built briefing

A staff briefing designed for the iPad — a day-shape bar, now-and-next header, free-gap indicators, new-client markers, and richer cards showing phone, tags, and last visit at a glance. Built for staff glancing between customers.

Locked-down

Kiosk Mode has its own access rules so the iPad can do its job without exposing payroll, billing, or settings.

Recurring bookings

A long-requested feature, properly built.

Pick a cadence in one tap

Weekly, fortnightly, every 4 weeks, every 6 weeks, or custom. Pill-based picker — no dropdowns.

Future appointments generated automatically

Recurring bookings appear on your calendar ahead of time, with pricing and reminders all set.

Pause, resume, cancel a series

Manage the recurring series itself, not just individual appointments. A customer goes on holiday? Pause. They're back? Resume.

Visible at a glance

Every recurring appointment gets a repeat icon on the calendar so it's obvious which is part of a series.

Gift cards

A complete gift card system — customer-facing and admin-facing.

Customer purchase flow

Public pages for buying a gift card, paying with Stripe, getting a code, and checking the balance.

Auto-apply at checkout

Gift cards apply automatically when a customer with a balance books, or can be entered manually.

One code input for everything

Discount codes and gift card codes share a single input at checkout — Seglo figures out which is which.

Cancellation-aware

The balance restores if a booking is cancelled, finalises when complete.

Admin dashboard

A super-admin view with sales, redemptions, balances, and expiry tracking.

Xero-integrated

Gift card sales sync straight to Xero as prepayments. Redemptions allocate. Refunds credit. Settings include guidance for the right accounting setup.

Industry-tailored onboarding

The setup flow now adapts to what kind of business you run.

11+ industries covered

Salons, barbershops, nail bars, spas, gyms, pet groomers, dog daycares, auto services, and more. Each industry gets services, booking settings, and intake forms pre-configured for the way that industry actually operates.

Setup summary in step 4

A summary card shows exactly what's being configured for your industry, with the ability to tweak before confirming.

Industry-specific AI

Your phone and chat AI agents adapt to your industry too — the way they talk, what they ask, how they handle drop-offs.

Public-facing industry pages

New seglo.ai industry pages — pet grooming, auto repair, and more — with pain points, journeys, and real-world stories for each business type.

Two-way SMS confirmations

Reminders now ask customers to confirm — and process their reply.

• Customer replies like "YES" or "CONFIRM" flip the appointment to confirmed automatically
• Dedicated SMS number so all confirmations land on one thread
• Unified "Send Reminder" dialog with a clean email/SMS toggle

New pricing tiers

A cleaner pricing structure.

Starter, Growth, Scale, and Enterprise

Solo operators start with Starter. Small teams fit Growth. Multi-location runs on Scale. Enterprise is custom.

Payments included in every tier

Stripe, Tap to Pay, gift cards, discount codes — no add-on required.

Clearer feature comparison

A new feature-comparison table on the pricing page makes the tier differences obvious at a glance.

My Pay for staff

Pay calculation now runs on a per-staff, per-day basis — and staff can see their own pay history.

Daily Staff Settlement

Every settled day produces a clean staff record with earnings, hours, and commissions locked in. Pay is stable even if an appointment is later edited.

My Pay

A new self-service experience for staff — see your pay history, breakdowns, and adjustments from your own login.

• Mobile pay breakdown at the right level of detail
• Pay adjustment items for one-off additions or deductions
• Auto-close stale timesheet entries at midnight so nothing is left open
• Live overtime timer on the shift dashboard card

Staff notes and @mentions

Staff can leave notes on appointments and clients — and tag each other.

Threaded notes

Notes appear directly on the appointment and the client.

@mention autocomplete

Type @, see your team, mention them, they get notified. The notification opens straight to the mentioned note.

Smart briefing integration

Mentions and staff notes now show on the morning briefing so context isn't missed.

Smart Daily Briefing

The briefing is now smarter and more central.

• Generates itself when staff sign in, with tomorrow fallback when today's already done
• Notes and mentions inline in the cards
• On the mobile dashboard as part of the shift card

Ready-for-pickup notifications

For drop-off businesses, marking an appointment "Complete" can now send a "ready for pickup" SMS in one tap.

A smarter AI Receptionist

Both the Booking Assistant and the AI Receptionist got a major intelligence upgrade with industry-aware prompts, multi-location knowledge, and improved voice quality.

Calendar and booking polish

• Reschedule with conflict override — drag onto an occupied slot, see the conflict, decide
• Pixel-perfect calendar slots with buffer shown as a separate band
• Snappier drag-and-drop across the calendar
• Inline client edit during booking so you can fix a phone number without leaving the appointment flow
• Inline profile creation for adding kids, pets, or family members mid-booking
• Double-submit protection so booking creates can't be duplicated
• Redesigned booking success page — cinematic intro, drop-off-aware messaging

Xero — bulletproof sync

Xero sync now self-heals.

• Drift detection runs hourly and re-queues anything out of sync
• Per-category revenue accounts — every service category can have its own revenue account
• Refund account mapping for credit notes
• Tax type overrides at the service and product level
