# New Features - Release 1.165 - Nov 9, 2023 - Chip Away Changes & Split Invoices

## Chip Away has changed based on user feedback. Roommates can split Payments & Invoices.

### **😍 Coming Soon!! New Navigation 👈👈👈**

[Check out this preview loom](https://www.loom.com/share/9bd15f9108564053bc6d594e432e1620?sid=dc14c2ec-6217-4518-955f-ebcd84ad3617) - and [get into the FB Group to provide your feedback](https://www.facebook.com/groups/681106882279044).

[**![new-menu-preview-nov](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/new-menu-preview-nov.png?width=688&height=452&name=new-menu-preview-nov.png)**](https://www.loom.com/share/9bd15f9108564053bc6d594e432e1620?sid=dc14c2ec-6217-4518-955f-ebcd84ad3617)

### **Now for what YouLi HAS Delivered...**

### **🔨 Chip Away has changed 💪**

#### **🚫 Important:** Reminders are still disabled after your Traveler makes one payment

By popular demand, **Chip Away will no longer mark the Installment as paid** **until the full installment amount has been paid**. This allows travelers to chip away on each Installment, not just the balance due.

**Why does this matter?**

Here's an example from Overton Travel, when students need to self-fund a trip, they pay lots of small amounts for:

- if they pay a $300 amount off a $1,500 Installment
- they still need to pay in full by a certain date
- so the installment should still show $1,200 owing on that Installment

***#7478, 7434 - requested by MANY of you, thanks to Overton Travel for extra feedback***

**WARNING:** Overpayment of an Installment will still be allocated to THAT Installment, not the next one. But it all works out in catch-up payments and Balance Due.

### **🤔 $0 Packages now supported via Checkout Flow 👈**

Need to offer a way for people to register for a trip without paying anything? Seems odd right? Well, here's a few reasons our Planners have asked for this feature:

- The school has paid for all the students, but you need them to register
- Incentive travel, where company has paid, but employees must register their attendance
- You want to allow people to join a waitlist
- You want to allow people to register to discover a roommate before booking

***#7827 - Supported by Reho***

### **👬 Advanced Roommate Options - Split Invoices 💲**

- Also in this update, is a new roommate option to **split the invoices** (in addition to being able to split the payment).
- Now you can allocate roommates in the same Invitation Group while keeping all their information private!!!! 👈 This is critical for proper inventory management.

#### **Planner Configured (Invitation Group from Trip CRM)**

**![invitation-group-shared-invoice-split](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Animated%20Gifs/invitation-group-shared-invoice-split.gif?width=564&height=304&name=invitation-group-shared-invoice-split.gif)**

#### **Checkout Flow view - Traveler's choice at checkout (if the Package allows Pay Separately)**

**![group-payment-options-3-roommate-variations-border](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Platform%20Screenshots/group-payment-options-3-roommate-variations-border.png?width=480&height=215&name=group-payment-options-3-roommate-variations-border.png)**

**TIP:** You can request during onboarding to configure the text shown for these options, if you feel the default language is not quite right for your travelers.

***#8300 - Supported by GoNaked Events, Select International & Reho***

### **👇Trip Short Name included in Payment Export 👍**

It seems like the Trip Short Name is a key bit of info for our larger clients, so now it's included in the Global Payment export.

***#8325 - Reported by Select International & Reho***

### **🏃Catchup Payments can Exclude Due Soon Payments 🚫**

↩️ Introduced last product update: Now you can control this feature from ACCOUNT \> PAYMENTS (no need to open a ticket).

**For Example:** If you have cash-flow conscious student travelers who cannot afford to pay the installment that is due in 7 days along with the overdue payments from last month, then check this box to allow them to just catchup and then come back next week for the next installment.

***#8462 - Supported by Reho***

### 👓 Accessibility Improvement **👵**

- Some text was using a lighter font weight, making it hard to read - this is now set to a standard font weight. Those of us with older eyes are very happy with this change!😆
- See below the example of the difference in font-weight between the overview and the itinerary description - this has been FIXED!

***![low font weight - trip page - cropped](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Platform%20Screenshots/low%20font%20weight%20-%20trip%20page%20-%20cropped.png?width=473&height=325&name=low%20font%20weight%20-%20trip%20page%20-%20cropped.png)***

***#8489 - Reported by Untold Italy***

### **🎟️ Per Person Discount for Coupons 👥**

We are currently testing a new mode for per person coupons.

By default today, [coupons](https://support.youli.io/360001159095-how-to-add-manage-trip-coupons?hsLang=en) are applied to the BOOKING (regardless of how many people are in it).

So if the coupon is $500, it is a $500 discount on the entire booking even if there are 2 or more people.

We are exploring the option for PER PERSON discounts, so a $500 coupon would actually discount the total due based on the number of people, so for 2 people it would be $1000, and for 3 it would be a $1,500 discount.

***Currently very limited release for ENTERPRISE***

### Bug Fixes & Enhancements

- 💪 7938 - Chip away feature as showing **NaN** when user did not enter a valid number. The error message has been changed to be more user friendly
- 🐞 8446 - For large trips - did you ever notice the search term wouldn't take the first time on the Trip CRM? super annoying! FIXED!
- 🐞 8258 - EDIT WEBSITE was not going to website settings when the user should have been able to
- 🐞 8401 - Activity Feed filters were showing oddly on mobile and when the page was not tall enough. FIXED!
- 💪 8326 - When using Checkout Flow BEFORE Trip Page, the SHARE TRIP LINK will now use /c/ by default to avoid a redirect. This is part of optimizing the load for large event launches.
- 🐞 8423 - The LOAD MORE button was showing on the [Global Bookings report](https://support.youli.io/global-bookings-report-see-all-bookings-across-trips-rolled-up-by-report?hsLang=en) even when all records had been loaded. FIXED!

- 💪 8411 - YouLi Admin reports can now filter Payments on the Trip Owner
- 💪 8534 - we've clarified the extra Stripe features when connecting, [especially the local payment methods](https://support.youli.io/stripe-payment-methods-ach-afterpay-direct-debit-wallets?hsLang=en)![stripe-better-connection-instructions](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Platform%20Screenshots/stripe-better-connection-instructions.png?width=688&height=157&name=stripe-better-connection-instructions.png)
