More juicy updates

• Added compatibility with the autofill feature from the iOS keyboard so that you are able to tap on an address that you have saved on your phone
• Added support to preserve or discard the permutations when using the rebook feature, defined on the service. Handyman services will not preserve the permutations when rebooking an apt.
• Added support for making discount codes that only work once per customer.
• Added support for service concurrency, used in laundry so that the provider can do other tasks while still leaving a minimum time for the laundry machines to run.
• Fixed bug that caused the return / recurring metrics in the dashboard to become out of sync.
• Fixed bug that caused return rate not to update.
• Greatly reduced the jank when modals and dropdowns appear and disappear that don’t fit in the window. This works around the scroll anchoring bug in Chrome and Safari, all while reducing complexity by removing the previous “fix” which really wasn’t that great.
• Updates which options become headers so that the checklist at checkout and in the receipt formats correctly

• Times between 12am-5am are no longer shown as an option to input in the availability editor
• The site now pukes if you try to put in a URL to your bio because why not
• Removed the minimum banner notification when looking at house cleaning
• Updated recurring metric help text
• Customers can now book a one-off appointment without a credit card if they have enough credit to cover the price

CICO

• We’ve added the ability to set custom CI and CO rules per service, either a flat duration or a percentage of the appointment’s duration
• We’ve updated just handyman with this change by allowing them to checkout 15 minutes after their check in time
• When a provider CICOs perfectly but encounters a card error, the user is notified in the modal. This experience was pretty terrible before this change.
• The Machine CICO.csv export now has “locked in” CICO perfect values. Because we’ve changed the CICO requirements over time, this was a necessary change to preserve data. For example, if a handyman checked out of an appointment improperly given the previous rules (≥50% of duration), the value recorded in the export will not change. It previously changed every time we changed the rules.
• To help avoid confusion, the service-dependent CICO rules are now displayed in an appointment’s page in Machina
