March 6th, 2026 Product Updates at Zipper

Improved customer app, multi-day events, AI schedule creation, sub management

We've been busy. Here's a look at what's new in Zipper this month - all built to save you time, reduce friction, and make running your business easier.

📱 Redesigned Customer App

Your members' first impression matters. The updated customer app delivers a cleaner, more modern experience that reflects the quality of your studio. Navigation is simpler, the look is sharper, and the overall feel is more aligned with the premium experience your clients expect. It also focuses on your instructors, which are your strongest asset!

Fewer clicks to get where they're going means fewer support questions for you - and more satisfied members.

📅  Programs for Multi-Day Events

Running a weekend intensive, a multi-session workshop, or a week-long retreat? Programs let you bundle multi-day events into a single, purchasable experience - with one registration flow, one purchase, and full visibility into who's attending what.

This is built for the way boutique fitness businesses actually operate: beyond single classes, into experiences.

🛒  Seamless In-App Purchasing

Redirects kill conversions. Members can now complete purchases - memberships, packs, products - entirely within the app, with no handoffs to external pages or clunky checkout flows.

A smoother buying experience means more completed purchases and fewer abandoned carts.

✨  AI-Powered Class, Event & Program Creation

Creating a new class or event used to mean filling out form after form. Now, describe what you want to offer and Zipper's AI drafts it for you - name, description, schedule details, and more - in seconds.

You stay in control; the AI just handles the first draft. It's one of the more tangible ways being AI-native pays off in your day-to-day.

🎨  Improved Site Builder UI

The website builder is where your brand lives online. The updated interface is faster to navigate, easier to edit, and designed to get you from idea to published page without a learning curve.

Expect a more intuitive editing experience, better visual feedback as you build, and a result that looks more professionally designed.

🔄  Improved Substitution Management

Instructor changes happen. The improved substitution management flow makes it easier to identify open slots, assign subs, and communicate changes — without the back-and-forth that typically derails your operations.

Less time managing logistics means more time focused on your members.

👥  Multi-Column Day View

See your entire day at a glance. The new multi-column day view displays one lane per staff member, so you can quickly spot scheduling gaps, overlaps, and coverage - all in one screen.

If you're running multiple instructors across multiple rooms, this view gives you the operational clarity you've been asking for.

☑️ An Upgraded Kiosk Experience

The front desk kiosk now shows upcoming classes at a glance, so customers always know what's coming up next. We've also streamlined the registration flow - fewer taps, less confusion, and a smoother check-in experience.
