What's new in KeyBolt

Every feature we ship, in the order we shipped it.

October 2026

NewOctober 12, 2026

Take a card payment without a reader on the web

  • Stripe shops can choose Type in card from Get paid in a browser and charge the remaining balance on a bill.
  • If the bank requires approval, use a reader or a payment link with the correct amount. After a manual partial payment, the old link can still charge the original total; collect the balance in person instead.
  • Payment history identifies typed-card payments. This option is for the web app.
FeatureOctober 12, 2026

Share one call with an outside tech

  • Owners, managers, and dispatchers on Pro can make a private link to a call record and choose which customer details to include.
  • Send the link yourself. The recipient can listen and respond without a KeyBolt login; their response appears in the Colab.
  • Links expire after seven days and can be turned off or replaced. This shares a saved call; use call-transfer controls for a live caller.
FixOctober 12, 2026

An iPhone call connects when you tap Answer

  • KeyBolt Mobile 1.0.12 fixes incoming calls that showed Answer but did not connect to the caller.
  • Update from the App Store. Shop calling needs KeyBolt Pro and a ready iPhone registration; Android and other supported phones keep their cellular bridge path.
FixOctober 10, 2026

Export sales tax with every invoice in the period

  • The sales-tax export includes invoices with no tax as well as taxable invoices, so the invoice detail can be checked against the period totals.
  • Use the export for filing detail and the Tax Center to track what you have remitted.
FeatureOctober 9, 2026

Send a branded receipt by email or text

  • Email receipts include a PDF with your shop branding, the bill details, and a PAID mark.
  • On Pro, text receipts include a receipt picture. The picture omits customer contact details; a plain text can be sent if the picture cannot be used.
  • Send to the requested email or phone number, even when it is not saved on the customer. Receipts are available once the bill is fully paid.
FeatureOctober 9, 2026

Choose the opening message and recording settings

  • The owner can switch call recording, the recording notice, and the opening message separately in the shop phone settings.

FeatureOctober 6, 2026

Plan and run the crew in Dispatch

  • Review moves between techs and times, arrival promises, work estimates, and drive-time warnings before saving.
  • Keep earlier trips when booking a return visit, and use working, paused, and office statuses with the proof your shop requires.
