Optimising for growth

Lockii has been growing fast lately so today we’ve released a large update with improvements to how we handle availability and reservations. This is also laying the groundwork for the next 2 big updates coming over the next month. You should see better loading times on widgets and availability pickers around the app.

Referral program

Our referral program is now live for all subscribed customers with an ongoing commission for businesses you refer us to as well as special offers for larger referrals.

Multi Item Checkout

As a part of this release we’ve also been able to enable quality first party multi-item checkout. For admins this means you can now add multiple stock items to every booking, for customers you can enable multi item checkout by going to Settings > Preferences and changing to “Multi Item”.

For businesses built primarily around single item hire we recommend continuing to utilise single item checkout as it is more optimised and conversion friendly for industries like trailer hire, car hire, boat hire and more.

To support this release you’ll also find a new cart widget that can be embedded anywhere on your site.
