We really take it to heart to constantly improve our Shopping Apps.
Following your feedback, we will be launching a series of add-ons perfect for all local businesses. They will allow you to boost your sales, grow your local client base and strengthen your online presence 

Our first add-on is Offline Payment. With this add-on you facilitate your clients' shopping experience by allowing  them to pay outside the app

Why offer offline payments ?

Build trust around your brand: Around the globe, a lot of people still prefer to use cash or even checks for their daily money transactions. Being a more traditional method of payment makes them more trusted. 
Also, not everyone feels comfortable giving their credit card info online and therefore might refrain from purchasing products from your app.

Boost your sales: Offline payment is easy to use and understand. Some people still face difficulty with the online mode of payment. By offering an offline mode, you will reach a wider audience and boost your sales. 

No more payment gateway fees: Don’t depend on any payment gateway. You can easily have an online presence and offer your clients to purchase your products online without the hassle of setting up Stripe or PayPal accounts. 
Moreover, Offline transactions are easy and transparent with no extra fees

How to activate offline payment in your GoodBarber Shopping App?

From the menu Settings > Payment provider, the configuration is simple: only a button to activate (with no additional setup) for each mode. Like the other payment gateways we offer, the Offline Payment Gateway is available in both Test and Live mode.

When the Offline payment gateway is activated it will appear alongside the other payment gateways in the checkout. When the user selects this payment gateway, the button "Pay now" will instead display "Confirm my order"

AI Extension Builder: the agent tests your sections and can create your app's database

Take a sports club that wants its members to choose the date of its tournament. In its Create with AI section, it writes: “Add a poll to choose the tournament date, with the results.”The agent first reads the app's context: its palette, its fonts, its logo, the files already added. It looks up GoodBarber's design system, written by our designers. Then it writes the section's files.The votes have to be shared between all the members. The agent spots this and asks the question, with three answers:Create the app's database: one database, run by GoodBarber. Its tables start empty.Connect my Supabase: the data goes to the club's Supabase project.Cancel: the agent builds the section without a database, and each phone sees only its own votes.The club picks the GoodBarber database. The agent then opens the section in a browser, at the width of a phone, and tries its buttons. It looks for errors: a script that crashes, a broken image, text that runs off the screen. It fixes what it finds, then saves the section.The members vote, and everyone sees the results. Each member can change only their own vote.
