‍

📱 Swift admin mobile app

Swift is now on the App Store and Google Play!

‍

You asked - we delivered. Swift is officially available as a downloadable mobile app on both iOS and Android.

‍

Until now, managing your facility on the go meant relying on your mobile browser or saving Swift to your home screen which worked, but wasn’t always seamless. Opening in-browser could interfere with other tabs or slow you down when switching between tasks.

‍

Now, with the Swift app, you can manage everything reliably, distraction-free, and right from your mobile device - no workarounds needed.

‍

Search “Swift Admin” in the App Store or Google Play to get started.

‍

‍

💳  Wallets (account balance)

We’ve heard from many of you that having a way to offer “account credit” or “balance” to clients would save time, reduce refund headaches, and keep more spending at your facility. Now you can.

‍

Our new Wallets feature lets you or your clients load funds into an account balance that can be used toward services, retail, or bookings - directly within Swift.

‍

Here’s how Wallets helps:

‍

Refunds That Keep Money in Your Business

Until now, refunding a booking meant sending the money back to the original payment method. That’s not ideal; you lose processing fees, and there’s no real incentive for the client to rebook.

‍

With Wallets, you can default refunds to issue a credit to the client’s Wallet instead. It’s a smoother experience for them, and a smarter way to keep revenue inside your business.

A Better Refund Tool for Admins

In the past, if you wanted to issue credit, your only option was to refund to a card or get creative with workarounds, such as offering free packages.

‍

On the admin side, Wallets now gives you the option to issue or use "store credit" directly through a customer's profile.

Smarter Retail for Families

Without Wallets, kids have been making snack bar or retail purchases by charging the card on file which has led to a few awkward conversations at home 😅

‍

Now, parents can load a set amount into their child’s Wallet to use at the facility through their profile. It gives families more control and gives you a clear, cashless way to track spending.

Room to Get Creative

Wallets also open up new opportunities: offer referral credits, run loyalty rewards, or preload new customers with a balance to get them started at your facility. We're excited to see how you’ll use it!

‍

Heads up: Wallets on the branded mobile app is coming early next week. They also can’t be used for memberships or partial payments (yet).

‍

💬  Preview text on service cards

We’ve added a new option to services called “Preview Text” to help bring more polish to your booking page.

‍

Before, every service showed the full description by default, which could make things feel cluttered fast. Long paragraphs meant it was harder for your clients to quickly spot what mattered most, like the service name and price.

‍

Now, you can write a short “Preview Text” to show just the key details upfront. Think of it like a tagline or teaser - something to catch the eye. When a client clicks in, they’ll still see the full description.

‍

If you leave Preview Text blank, your service card will just show the name and price.

‍

We’re excited to give you more control over how your services appear and helps your clients find what they’re looking for, faster!

‍

Here’s a quick before and after to show you just how cleaner this really can be:

📝 Shortened facility description

Similar to the preview text, as a way to reduce the visual clutter on your booking page, we have shortened the facility description to show the first 400 characters as a preview.

‍

Not to worry, adding more content will display a “Read more” button to expand the description so feel free to include as much detail as you’d like keeping in mind to highlight the most important details first.
