Introducing Final Preview
Final Preview is how we put brand-new Final POS features in your hands early, while we are still shaping them. When you see the Final Preview tag, the feature works and you can use it, but its design may still change, and your feedback directly influences what we build next. Flow Studio currently carries the tag.
We are introducing Final Preview: a way to put brand-new Final POS capabilities in your hands early, while we are still shaping them together. If you have spotted the Final Preview tag in the product, here is what it means and what to expect.
What is Final Preview?
When a feature shows the Final Preview tag, we have built it and you can use it today, but it is still finding its final form. We release in Preview when we want a new capability in your hands early, while we are still learning what the best version of it looks like. Flow Studio, Final's AI builder for checkout flows, currently carries the tag.
This is different from a beta. A beta is a feature that is already shaped and waiting for the last round of testing. A Preview is a feature whose shape we are still working out, with the people who will actually use it, like you.
What should I expect?
A Final Preview feature is real, working software. Because it is earlier in its life, a few things are worth knowing:
The interface and behaviour can shift between updates as we learn what works.
You may hit rough edges we have not smoothed yet.
Some Preview features grow into permanent parts of Final POS. Others get reshaped along the way, and a small number do not make it through. We will always tell you in advance if one is being retired.
We rely on what you tell us. Your feedback on a Preview feature carries more weight than feedback on anything else, because it directly shapes what we ship next.
What stays stable?
Final Preview only applies to new capabilities at the edges of the platform. The tools you run your business on every day, payments, orders, reports, settlements and your POS, are not part of Final Preview. They stay reliable and stable.
How do I try it?
Look for the Final Preview tag in the product, then tell us what you think. You are helping shape what Final POS becomes next.
