Confirmed bookings

Where are these found?

These are found by going to your Dashboard > Financials > Bookings:

Pending Payment Authorised Card

What does this status mean?

  • A payment link has been generated and actioned OR

  • The Authorise process has been successfully completed

  • The payment has not been taken - the "tab" is still open

  • The booking can be easily added to or edited

How can I take the payment and close the booking?

  • There are several ways to do this:

  • If Auto Charge is activated the payments will be taken at the end of the event

  • All successful payments will change to a status of PAID Stripe

  • Failed payments will remain as Pending so you can follow up

To manually charge and close the booking:

  • From the booking line 3 dots menu, you can select:

    • Charge Now (for Premium accounts)

      • Use the authorised card to complete the transaction

    • Balance Event Now (for Professional accounts)

      • Choose to complete the process by selecting Stripe

      • Choose to use the authorised card to complete the transaction or

      • Input new card details

      • Booking status > PAID Authorised Card

      • Alternatively you can use one of the other methods to record payment eg Cash, Debit Card, BACS, etc

      • Booking status would reflect the method recorded eg Paid Debit card

  • Both of the above options can also be accessed from the Event Summary:

    • Pay Now (for Premium accounts)

    • Balance Event Now (for Professional accounts)

  • You can also select Generate Payment Link - this generates a new Pay Now link which you can email and action in the same way as other links:

    • This can be done on an individual booking basis

    • Select the 3 dots alongside the booking

    • Generate payment link:

      OR

    • It can also be done on an overall account basis

    • Select the 3 dots alongside one of the bookings

    • Event Summary:

    • All related bookings are detailed

    • Select Generate authorisation to charge link:

    • This generates a Pay Now link for all of the related bookings and all of the outstanding amounts

    • It is actioned in the same way as all other generated links
