Let me say this right up front: we made a mistake a few weeks ago, and that mistake made Quail unambiguously worse for everyone. We noticed that a lot of folks were having trouble editing consignment and rent for their booths, and instead of leaving well enough alone we decided to disable booth editing while we figured out something better. And wow did that turn out to be more annoying for stores than we expected!

We’ve learned a lesson over here at Quail HQ: booths change all the time! And for all sorts of reasons that we never thought about! Turns out not being able to edit your booths is kind of a massive, anatomically-located pain. So that was – mea culpa! – absolutely the wrong decision on our part.

But we’ve been listening to your frustration and working flat-out to fix things these last few weeks, and I'’m pleased to say that you can once again edit the rent, consignment rate, and credit card fees for your booths without emailing for help, picking up the phone to talk to us, or having to click through two layers of “are you absolutely sure you want to edit this?” We’ve taken all the locks off booth editing, and there’s no more need to close booths and open new ones if you just want to change a vendor’s consignment fee or up their rent. In fact, changes that you make to a booth’s rent now show up in a timeline, so you can see how your booths’ rents have changed over the past year.

If you prorate rent things should be smooth sailing; if you charge flat monthly rent Quail now uses the rent at the first of every month to calculate the rent for that month. And changes to consignment & card processing fees now only affect sales going forward.
