Happy Thursday! This update is all about smoother workflows, a better product experience, and a little something that lets you spread the Scritches love while earning free time on your subscription.

Refer a Friend

Give a month, get a month
Scritches now has a referral program! When you share your unique link and a friend subscribes, you both get a free month.

How it works:

1. Share your referral link from the new “Refer a Friend” page

2. Your friend signs up and gets their first month free

3. Once they complete their first paid month, you’ll get a free month too

Your link can be shared anywhere: email, text, or social media. Rewards are currently managed manually, so once your referral completes their first month, I’ll apply your credit.

👉 You’ll find your personal referral link right in your settings under Refer a Friend.
Referred a friend without a link? Let us know at support@scritches.io

Quality of Life Updates

Instant Booking Confirmations
For businesses that want a faster booking flow, there’s now a toggle to auto-confirm bookings. When enabled, clients booking online will immediately receive a confirmation message and email. On your end, the booking will be created with a “Confirmed” status right away. Configure in your Online Booking Settings.

Reduced “An Error has Occurred” Messages
Fixed a long-standing issue where app deployments triggered a confusing “Error has Occurred” message that only went away after a manual page refresh. Scritches will now auto-refresh in these cases, reducing perceived errors dramatically.

Archiving Instead of Deleting
Clients, Pets, and Services can no longer be deleted outright; they’ll now be archived instead. This protects related data like bookings and invoices, preserves historical records, and prevents potential errors. It is also useful for immediately revoking client portal access, as well as reestablishing clients/services that were previously discontinued.

Booking Page Cover Photos
You can now reorder cover photos for your booking landing page to better match your branding

Easier Report Card Sharing
Added an option to share Report Cards via link or through your phone’s native sharing tools (like Messages or WhatsApp). Great for those who prefer texting updates directly.

Review Booster Improvements
Added a toggle to skip clients who already have a review on file. This keeps automatic review requests focused only on new or unreviewed clients and avoids excessive email sending. Configure in your Review Booster Settings.

Booking Landing Page Service Description Truncation
Clients can now view your full service option descriptions without the text being truncated.

Swiss Localization
Added proper Swiss formatting for addresses, phone numbers, and currency (CHF).

Report Card Design Tweaks
Polished the layout and design for a cleaner, easier-to-read presentation.

Invoice Control
You can now manually mark invoices as Draft → Unpaid. This will make the invoice visible to your client and enable online payments if Stripe is connected.

And of course…
Plenty of smaller bug fixes and refinements under the hood.

That’s all for this round! Thank you, as always, for the continued feedback.
