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.
