Release Notes 01/10/2026

Updates:
Card Surcharge Changes (AU)
A number of changes were implemented to accommodate the card surcharge ban from 1st October, 2026, including:
  • Implemented the Australian card surcharge changes for the Stripe integration (AU). From 1 October 2026, card surcharges are no longer applied to Stripe payments for Australian workshops, and the surcharge fields have been removed from the Stripe settings screen. New Zealand workshops are unaffected.
  • Strengthened WorkshopPay payment handling (AU) in line with the Australian card surcharge changes, so online and terminal payments continue to be recorded reliably.
  • Made the card surcharge or fee account optional in the Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks Online integration settings, so invoices, payments and credits sync reliably whether or not an account is selected.

Accounting & Payments
Improvements to the reliability of accounting syncs and online payments, including:
  • Further added resilience to the MYOB sync for customer invoices and payments, where Workshop Software now automatically re-links a customer that has been recreated in MYOB and retries the sync.
  • Improved the "Pay Now" link on emailed invoices for workshops using Stripe, so customers can reliably open the payment page and pay online.

Integrations
Updates to several third-party integrations, including:
  • Updated the TireConnect integration (US) so the dealer cost quoted for a tyre is now brought onto the invoice and product, whether quoting from an invoice or a booking.
  • Prepared the TireConnect integration (US) for TireConnect's new widget, so tyre searches continue to open with the vehicle pre-loaded as accounts move across.
  • Improved Vehicle Visuals so every catalogue item can be attached to an invoice or inspection, whatever the length of its description.
  • Enhanced MOT history (UK) so refreshing a vehicle's MOT history also updates its MOT renewal date.

General Functionality
A range of improvements across invoicing, job cards, reporting and account billing, including:
  • Enhanced mechanic clock on/off on the Job Card so each action records a single clock-on entry, keeping mechanic status and labour hours accurate. A message is now shown if a clock action can't be completed.
  • Improved reliability when saving labour time while a mechanic timer is running.
  • Corrected a one-cent difference in the on-screen invoice total for certain freight amounts. On-screen totals and GST now always match the printed invoice.
  • Updated fully discounted invoices so they leave no balance outstanding, and Invoice Analysis and the Sales Report show the correct Gross Profit%.
  • Fixed an issue where some invoices or quotes could not be saved after lines were duplicated and removed.
  • Adjusted the Dealership Software Invoice Analysis so a sold unit's Cost Price includes all internal invoices raised against it, giving accurate gross profit on unit sales.
  • Updated the Transaction Centre so purchase orders are unlinked from a customer invoice when it is voided.
  • Improved Global Search so Serial Number results only show active invoices, and invoices created from a deleted booking now open as expected.
  • Corrected the Post Date column on the Payment Reconciliation report, which now shows the date the invoice was processed.
  • Updated online booking confirmations so the labour line quantity defaults to 1 when the labour product has no Default Labour Qty set, matching bookings created manually.
  • Further tidied up the Event Logs report for companies using Business Intelligence, removing technical entries written during setup.
