Changelog — BayWise Payments
Release history for BayWise Payments, newest first. Each entry describes what changed in plain terms — what you can now do, what is clearer, and what has been fixed.
July 2026
v3.8 — Jul 11, 2026
Fixes
- Sign-in is faster and more reliable, especially on slower connections.
v3.7 — Jul 10, 2026
Currency display, sign-in, and reliability improvements since v3.4.
Money & currency
- Amounts now display consistently in your location’s own currency and number format on every screen, including regions that group digits differently.
Sign in & accounts
- Signing in and creating an account now share a single, simpler entry page.
- More reliable sign-in — resolved a rare case where signing in could stall on load.
Fixes & reliability
- Screens no longer hang when the network is slow to respond — actions time out cleanly and let you try again.
- Resolved several issues found during production testing.
v3.6 — Jul 3, 2026
Fixes
- Continue with Google is now available when creating a new account, not just when signing in — both pages now match.
- Fixed an issue where finishing account setup after signing in with Google could occasionally take several minutes or appear to hang. It now completes in moments.
- Signing up again with an email that already has an account now shows a clear message directing you to sign in, instead of appearing to do nothing.
- Improved reliability when loading and saving records in the Financial Recording Modal and dashboard cards under slow network conditions.
June 2026
v3.5 — Jun 30, 2026
Sign-in improvements
- Forgot your password? — a reset link option is now available directly on the sign-in page. Enter your email address and a reset link arrives in your inbox; clicking it takes you to a secure page to set a new password.
- Sign in with Google — you can now sign in using your Google account instead of a separate password. Click Continue with Google on the sign-in page.
Fixes
- Vendor names now display correctly when recording business transactions.
v3.4 — Jun 25, 2026
Everything new since the initial release.
Highlights
- A smarter Collection Queue — entities ranked by a clearer urgency score, with a Needs Estimate indicator and credit-aware overdue flags.
- Stronger cashflow forecasting — forward-dated projections, a cash-conversion view, and a daily cash-gap signal.
- Correct currency and tax for every location — each location applies its own currency and tax rules instead of a single default.
- Full Arabic language support, including right-to-left layout.
Collection Queue
- Entities are ranked by a clearer urgency score so the most pressing collections rise to the top.
- A Needs Estimate indicator highlights entities that are missing the information needed to collect.
- Overdue flags now take available credit into account, so a customer in credit is not flagged as overdue.
- Comparative captions give quick context on each card.
Cashflow & forecasting
- Forward-dated cashflow projections, a cash-conversion view showing how quickly work turns into received cash, and a daily cash-gap signal to spot shortfalls early.
Payment links
- Clear handling for expired links, with the ability to reissue; a QR option for sharing links in person; and a refreshed card layout for the queue.
Surcharging
- Card surcharging now follows your jurisdiction’s rules automatically, and can be standardised across locations from head office with the option to adjust locally where allowed.
Settings
- Settings have been reorganised so tabs map to the tasks you actually do, matching the layout used across BayWise.
Working across locations
- Day Close, transaction dates, recurring due-dates, and reports now follow each location’s own local time, including around midnight.
- Each location applies its own currency and tax jurisdiction instead of a single shared default, and account owners working across all locations see the correct currency on financial cards.
Connect & extend
- A new Developer area for creating and managing API keys, so you can connect BayWise Payments to your own tools and systems.
Language & accessibility
- Full Arabic translations with right-to-left layout; press Escape to close dialogs; save status is announced for screen-reader users.
Feedback
- A built-in feedback button lets you send a note from anywhere in the app.
Fixes & reliability
- Each location’s base currency now stays in sync with the location’s own currency when settings are saved.
- Recording forms default their dates to the location’s local day.
- Resolved a crash that could occur when opening the recording modal in some configurations.
May 2026
v0 — May 31, 2026
The initial release of BayWise Payments, providing end-to-end financial operations for automotive workshops.
Collection Queue
- Urgency-classified queue showing all entities with outstanding balances, sorted by urgency (overdue, due today, upcoming), with quick access to the Financial Modal from any card.
Financial Recording Modal
- Vehicle Tab — two-pane layout with entity summary and a financial card (Collections, Expenses, Ledger sub-tabs).
- Business Tab — category-based recording for non-entity income and expenses, with Expense and Sale sub-tabs.
- Per-entity vehicle ledger with full transaction history and running balance.
Insurance Split
- Automatic split of collections into customer excess and insurance portion; the insurance portion is recorded as a credit with pending settlement and tracked separately in the ledger and AR aging.
Payment Links
- Generate and send payment links to customers; track the lifecycle (sent, clicked, paid); auto-settlement on successful payment.
Day Close
- End-of-day cash count with denomination entry, variance detection between expected and actual cash, carry-over of opening balance to the next business day. Closed days cannot be reopened.
Recurring Obligations
- Define recurring income and expense obligations with frequency, amount, and contact; alerts before due dates; optional auto-creation of draft transactions on the due date.
Transaction Voiding
