Inspire by STX v4.7 Release Notes (Coming Soon!)

Info
The features below will be released in the middle to end of August 2026. Inspire by STX's Product Team originally planned for one big release, now it will be two medium releases. Another update is coming in September 2026 that will include Syncing with Quickbooks, Tap to Pay Payments (Worker App), AI Voice capability, 2 Way Client Messaging and more! Stay tuned!

Inspire by STX v4.7 is a mighty version packed with upgrades for Invoicing, Estimates, Payment Requests, New Checkout & Setup Service looks plus a few new report filters. 

Pay Now (Requires Integrated Credit Card Processing) – send clients a secure payment link by text or email from Checkout > Payments > Pay Now button. Clients can pay their ticket remotely. If tipping is enabled, clients can also add a tip during checkout.

Invoicing & Estimates – from Checkout > Payments Tab > click Send Estimate or Send Invoice to send it to your client by text or email. Accepted Estimates automatically convert to Invoices, and Invoices can require a minimum payment before an appointment can be booked.
