Customer Registration: Show locations where the selected service is available📍
If you have multiple locations, each with different services, this update makes setting up an appointment or getting in line so much simpler for your customers!
From your Public Locations Page your customers can start by selecting the service they need and then select from a list of your locations that offer this service. No need for them to leave the page to find out where to go, or accidentally sign up at the wrong location.

New API docs and Developer Resources hub 🤖
To help developers build and integrate their existing solutions with the powerful Waitwhile API, we’ve launched a new developer hub at developers.waitwhile.com.
You'll find comprehensive guides and documentation to help you start working with the Waitwhile API as quickly as possible - plus support and a growing community of devs you can ask if you get stuck.
