Summary

  • This article explains how to manage appointments that have already been paid for by card.

  • Once payment is processed, the appointment financials cannot be changed. If a mistake occurs, the original appointment must be canceled and replaced with a new appointment that reflects the correct amount, without charging the customer again.


Managing A Paid-By-Card Appointment Scenario

Locate the Original Appointment

  • Identify the appointment that needs a billing update by clicking it from your calendar or the contact’s profile.


Cancel the Original Appointment

  • Change the appointment status from Active to Cancelled. This preserves all the appointment data (notes, service ratings, etc.) while preventing further use.


Duplicate the Appointment

  • Select Actions

  • Click Duplicate This Appointment


For step-by-step instructions, please see here:


Create a New Appointment

  • Use the duplicate appointment flow to create a brand-new appointment for the customer.

  • Ensure the correct amount is entered before saving/creating the appointment.

  • Change the status from Cancelled to Active (or similar).


Add a Note for Record-Keeping

  • Scroll to the Notes section.

  • Add a note explaining:

1. Why the charge was incorrect.

2. The appointment was replaced with a new one.

3. The date these changes were made.


Mark the New Appointment as Paid

  • Mark the appointment as Paid.

  • Do not charge the customer’s card again.

Side Note

  • Adding a note for record keeping helps keep internal records clear and prevents confusion later.

  • If payroll has already been run before completing the steps above, please recalculate payroll to pull the new appointment and its new total.
