The deposit
If the client paid a deposit, you'll see:
- Keep the $30.00 deposit: ticked to start
- Paid upfront and Refund: what was paid, and what goes back
Leave it ticked to keep the deposit. Untick it to refund it in full.
Decide before you tap Cancel appointment. A cancelled booking can't be changed afterwards.
If nothing was paid, there's nothing to choose.
What the client gets
- An email saying the booking is cancelled, if they have an email address
- No text
If the time is still ahead, it's offered to your waitlist.
Repeat visits
On a visit marked ↻, you're asked Cancel visits in this repeat?
- This visit: only this one. You then choose about its deposit, as above.
- This and following: this one and every later one. Any deposits are kept.
Pick a reason, then tap Cancel visits. More in Repeat bookings.
When you can't cancel
- Checked in or ready: tap the status and step it back to Booked first
- Done: it's checked out. Use Refund instead. See Refunds.
- A payment link for the rest of the bill has been sent: the booking can't be cancelled or marked no-show
Cancel or delete?
- Cancel keeps a record, with the reason
- Delete removes the booking for good. It only shows while nothing has been paid.
