Product updates

The latest improvements, new features, and fixes in Samba.

New feature

See your experience before you save

Editing an experience no longer means saving, opening a new tab, checking, and coming back. A Live preview menu now sits beside the editor with four views — Trip page, Booking, Payment and Traveler portal — and each one opens full screen showing the changes you haven't saved yet, right down to photos you've only just dropped in.

Everything is shown with a sample traveler and a sample booking, so you see real prices, your payment schedule and your booking questions exactly as a traveler would.

Show travelers what they're choosing

A room type, a meal, a transfer option — some choices are much easier to make with a picture. Packages, add-ons and participant types now each take up to five optional photos added in the experience editor.

Travelers see a small thumbnail beside each option on the first step of the booking flow, and a click opens the same gallery as your trip page, captions and all.

Improvement

Apple Pay & Google Pay everywhere

Apple Pay and Google Pay are now widely available to your travelers and no longer depend on the device or browser they're using.

Previously Apple Pay only appeared in Safari; now both wallet buttons show up wherever the traveler's device or account supports them. They're live at checkout, on payment links, and in the customer portal when someone updates a payment method or pays an installment. Fewer card details to type means fewer abandoned bookings.

New branding section with live preview

Everything that shapes how your workspace looks to customers now lives in one place. Your logo has moved from General settings into Branding, which also shows a completeness score so you know when the essentials — a logo and an accent color — are in place.

A live preview panel lets you see a sample calendar widget, payment page, and booking confirmation email update as you change your colors, font, and logo, before you save a thing.

Improvement

Hide seats left in widgets + Add private tour start times

You now decide how much departure detail travelers see in your booking widgets. A new "Details displayed" setting lets you turn the from-price and seats-left figures on or off, so quiet departures no longer look empty to someone deciding whether to book.

Private tours got a scheduling upgrade too: you can offer a set of start times for on-request departures, and travelers pick a time alongside the date instead of defaulting to the experience's standard start.
