Version 1.7: Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, and pricing per location
Three payment processors, a native Google Calendar integration, and per-location pricing. The release that turned RepairPlugin into a complete commerce stack.
Version 1.7 is one of those releases where almost every shop has at least one feature they've been asking for. 14 new features in a single update. This post covers the three that move the needle most. The rest are detailed in the full changelog.
Stripe, PayPal, and Mollie payment integrations
Until 1.7, taking a deposit or full payment online required a separate plugin and a manual handoff. From this release on, Payment Methods natively integrate with the three payment processors most repair shops actually use:
- Stripe for card payments across Europe and beyond
- PayPal for customers who prefer it (and the still-significant share that does)
- Mollie for iDEAL, Bancontact, and other European local methods
You can enable any combination. Customers see all the methods you've turned on, pick one, and pay before the appointment is confirmed. Your payouts go to your existing accounts at each provider.
Why this matters: deposit payments at booking are one of the most reliable ways to reduce no-shows. Until now, the friction of plugging in a third-party gateway kept most shops from using deposits at all. This release removes that excuse.
Pricing based on location
If you run more than one shop, your costs aren't the same at every location. Rent in the city center isn't rent in the suburbs. Labor isn't free, and it's not equal. But until 1.7, RepairPlugin forced a single price list across all locations.
Version 1.7 fixes that. Each location can now have its own price list, its own dynamic pricing margin, and its own custom rules. Customers see the price for the location they're booking at. Owners can finally price each shop based on its actual economics.
This works alongside the Enhanced Locations add-on and integrates with Dynamic Pricing, so multi-location chains can run percentage margins per location, with separate floor prices, all from a single admin.
Native Google Calendar integration
Until now, repair shops syncing appointments to Google Calendar relied on workarounds: manual exports, third-party iCal feeds, occasionally a Zapier setup that broke whenever Google changed an API. None of it was reliable.
Version 1.7 ships with a native Google Calendar integration. Connect once, and every booked appointment shows up on your shop calendar with the customer name, device, repair type, and notes. Cancellations and reschedules sync too. If your team already lives in Google Calendar, this is the integration that finally makes that workflow clean.
What else is in 1.7
The release also brings:
- Coupons based on (sub)repairs, brands, or categories for surgical promotions
- Payment based on delivery method: charge differently for pickup, drop-off, or shipping
- Auto / Manual approval based on the delivery method: skip manual approval for trusted methods
- Address fields in 'Come by to store' and 'Ship Device' Delivery Methods for cleaner intake
- Switch sorting of address fields to match local conventions
- System Status based on your hosting for proactive performance monitoring
- Improved Price on Request function with cleaner customer messaging
What to enable first
If you're upgrading to 1.7:
- Pick a payment processor and enable it. Stripe is fastest to set up if you don't already have a relationship with one. Add a small deposit on bookings to test the no-show impact.
- Connect Google Calendar. Two minutes of setup, immediate value for any team already using Google Workspace.
- If you run multiple locations, enable per-location pricing. Even small price differences between locations meaningfully affect bookings and margins.
