What's new at GoodBarber? November 2022

This month no jealousy! We worked on two features, one for eCommerce apps and one for content apps.  For eCommerce apps, we have improved the functionality of your catalog by adding a major option: the display of out-of-stock products. This option can allow you to show the extent of your catalog references to your customers even if your stock is momentarily unavailable, or even to enhance the success of one or more products while waiting for a restocking. If you plan to restock these products, keeping them displayed in your catalog can be a good business strategy to keep your customers coming back to your store.  For content apps, it's a new and much-anticipated feature that we're pleased to introduce: the Appointment Booking extension ! This option works in sync with Google Calendar. You can connect one or more of your Google calendars and use them to manage your appointments.  You will find below the summary of the developments and updates made during the month of November 2022:

What's new at GoodBarber? July 2021

This month it's all about Android. Your GoodBarber Android apps are now optimized for Android 11. And this update has made a lot of noise among Android app developers.  Android apps have historically been distributed as APKs. If you are not familiar with what an .apk file is, know that it is the file that is produced as the result of the development of your app. Android Package Kit (APK) is the file format used to distribute and install apps and make them work on Android devices.  Starting this week, the APK has been replaced by the AAB format.  You will find below all the updates and improvements for the month of July 2021.
