Today, we're excited to announce a major update to our quote, payment, and customer portal widgets.

Whether you're a current getSoapy user or thinking of joining us, these updates will make managing your business even easier.

New Look, New features

new customer portal

Our quote widget and customer portal now boast a sleek, modern design that aligns with the recent redesign of our app. The new look is clean, intuitive, and ensures a seamless experience for your customers - and makes customer management for trades even easier.

  • New tabbed layout: The new tabbed layout is better organised and makes it easier for customers to see all the information they need at a glance.
  • Edit Personal Information: Customers can now update their name, email, and phone number on their own, saving you time and reducing errors.
  • Manage Promotional Message Consent: It's now easier for customers to see and update their preferences for receiving promotional messages, ensuring you stay compliant with communication regulations.
  • Clearer Invoice Status: Customers can easily see if any invoices are outstanding, while still be able to access all older invoices.
  • Visual Indicators for Loyalty Cards: A new visual indicator shows the status of loyalty cards, helping customers see how close they are to their next reward.
  • Add or Remove Payment Methods: They can add new payment methods or remove ones they no longer use, providing more flexibility and convenience.
  • Better messaging: We've improved the messaging experience, making it easier for customers to see when you've sent them a message and to reply.

These updates take another step towards providing a more user-friendly experience for your customers, making it easier for them to interact with your business. Whether getSoapy is your cleaning app or route planning software, we're always striving to improve.

The New Combined Widget

One of the standout features of this update is the new combined widget. This single widget allows potential customers to request a quote and existing customers to log in to their portal from the same interface. It's a streamlined solution that reduces the need for multiple widgets and simplifies the user experience.
