Stylish Cost Calculator
September 2025 Product Update
Mike
Hey, here’s a round-up of the most important new improvements, and bug fixes we’ve shipped recently to improve your quoting and cost estimation experience.
Table of Contents
✨ Template accuracy overhaul (market‑aligned pricing + logic)
We audited and updated multiple one‑click templates to reflect realistic market ranges and corrected calculation logic.
Lawn Mowing, Landscaping, House Cleaning, Moving, Venue Rental, Wedding Photography, Custom Shutters, Vehicle Parts, Roof Replacement, Solar Panels, Seller Closing Costs, Air Conditioner
Fixed multipliers, unit pricing, and capacity-based pricing. Resolved extreme totals (e.g., overinflated lawn area rates) and misapplied sliders.
Why it matters: Accurate defaults mean you can launch faster with confidence and less configuration. Example: A landscaping company quoting lawn care now shows realistic CAD $0.15–$0.30 per m² by default, preventing sticker shock and improving lead quality.
📬 More reliable email delivery for scheduled emails
We optimized how WordPress Action Scheduler handles queued quote/notification emails and introduced better compatibility and logging. Admin controls and nonce/referer handling improvements help emails send consistently across diverse hosting environments.
Benefit: Fewer missed notifications and easier troubleshooting.
Example: An event venue manager sending PDF quotes no longer worries about sporadic delivery on shared hosting—messages go out and failures are clearly logged.
📨 Clearer SMTP setup notices in the admin
The “SMTP not installed” banner and related notices are now more visible and actionable, with direct links to configuration.
Benefit: Faster setup and fewer email delivery surprises. Example: A cleaning service agency’s admin immediately sees the SMTP warning in the editor and fixes it before sending customer quotes.
🐛 Key Bug Fixes
- PDF: corrected total price hierarchy; hide total when hidden in preview.
- Fixed modal flicker when repeatedly opening/closing price modals.
- Improved Advanced Pricing Formula label spacing.
- Fixed issues copying subsections with many elements (now saves properly).
