The Chauffeur Taxi Booking System for WordPress has just been updated to version 8.8, bringing even more flexibility and control to your booking workflow. This update focuses on enhancing user experience and supporting new add-on integrations.

What’s New in Chauffeur 8.8

• Custom Google Calendar event names
  You can now define the event title that appears in Google Calendar when exporting bookings, giving you clearer and more organized calendar entries.
• Display coupon discount value in booking summary
  Previously, customers saw only the adjusted total after applying a coupon. Now, the discount percentage can be shown directly in the summary.
• New “Replace locations” feature
  This powerful enhancement lets you automatically replace addresses entered by customers within a defined geofence area with a standardized location. For example, if a customer enters “Warsaw Chopin Airport,” the system can automatically substitute it with a specific terminal address, ensuring correct routing and avoiding unrouteable or ambiguous points on the map. This also works perfectly for replacing districts with the closest taxi stand or other preferred pickup points.

Version 8.8 also adds support for two new add-ons, extending the plugin’s capabilities even further.

Currency Switcher Add-on

• Let customers choose their preferred currency for bookings.
• Automatic exchange rates with manual override
• User-friendly currency selector with country flags.
• Seamless integration with Chauffeur’s pricing engine

iCalendars Add-on

Version 8.8 further strengthens Chauffeur’s position as the leading WordPress plugin for chauffeur, taxi, and transport bookings, combining powerful new geofence-based location replacements, more transparent pricing details, and improved calendar exports. Plus, with support for the new Currency Switcher and iCalendars add-ons, your business can operate even more globally and efficiently.
