# Release Notes - March 2026

## **💳 Easier Credit Notes**

It’s now much easier to add credit to an owner’s account.

When adding a payment:

-   If the payment **is larger than the invoice amount**, or
-   If the payment **is not attached to an invoice**

JungleChief will automatically detect the extra amount and ask:

**“Do you want to create a credit?”**

Simply select **Yes**, and the remaining amount will be saved as a **credit on the owner’s account**.

If you have a **Xero integration enabled**, the credit will automatically **sync with Xero**.

## **🧾 Using Client Credit**

Applying existing credit to an invoice is now very simple.

When making a payment from an **invoice or the Transactions page**:

1.  Look for the **“Assign Credit Notes”** dropdown.
2.  Any available credits for that owner will appear in the list.
3.  Select the credit you wish to apply.

You can also **add a cash or card payment at the same time** if the credit does not fully cover the invoice.

## **👀 Viewing Available Owner Credit**

If an owner has credit on their account, it will now appear in two places:

-   **Owner Details Page** – shows the available credit balance.
-   **Owner Statement** – accessible from the **Owner List → Options menu**.

This makes it much easier to see when a client has funds available.

## **💸 Simpler Refunds**

Refunding a payment is now quicker and easier.

To issue a refund:

1.  Go to the **Transactions page**.
2.  Click **Edit** (or select the payment number).
3.  Click the **Refund** button at the bottom of the page.

JungleChief will:

-   Remove the payment from any attached invoices
-   Return the invoice to an **Unpaid status**

You’ll then be prompted to record:

-   **Refund method** (cash, bank transfer, etc.)
-   **Reason for the refund**

Your **user login details are also recorded** for full traceability.

### **Stripe Payments**

If the payment was made via **Stripe**, the system will automatically process the refund through Stripe back to the **original credit card**.  
No manual refund is required.

## **📄 Owner Financial Statements**

Based on user feedback, we’ve added a **new Owner Statement feature**.

You can access it from the **Owner List → Options menu**.

The statement allows you to:

-   View **all transactions**
-   Filter by **date range**
-   Show **only invoices that are due**

Statements can also be:

-   **Exported**
-   **Printed**
-   **Emailed directly to the owner**

This makes it much easier to provide customers with a clear account summary.

## **⭐ New Post-Booking “Thank You” Email**

A new **automatic email template** has been added to the **Communications settings**.

The **Post Booking Thank You Email** can be sent automatically after a booking is **checked out**.

Features include:

-   Add a **Review Special Link** to encourage customer reviews
-   Fully **customisable email template**
-   Optional **send frequency control**

You can set how often a client receives the email, for example:

-   Only **once every 6 months**, regardless of how often they book.

This helps businesses **collect reviews without overwhelming customers with emails**.

Go to Communications settings in the Admin menu
