Feature Spotlight:

This week we highlight the "Custom Domain mapping" feature of Zoho Books.

Custom Domain mapping can help you boost your brand value and lets your customers access the client portal with ease. Here is a small example: Patricia runs a company named Zylker, and her website’s domain name is https://zylker.com. With custom domain mapping, she can make changes to the client portal link and let her customers access their client portal from https://books.zylker.com/portal instead of https://books.zoho.com/portal. To know more about this, click here.

In case you missed it:

Last week, we conducted a webinar on "Essential Business Survival Guide During COVID-19 (US and Canada)", which you can watch by clicking here.

Customer Stories:

This section is our favorite — it's exclusively for sharing the success stories of our customers, one customer at a time. In this edition, we would like to share the story of LifeWall, a provider of complete landscaping solutions in the field of vertical gardens.

Read the complete story to find out how switching from spreadsheets to Zoho Books helped LifeWall transform their business.
