Not every booking comes through your website. Admin bookings let you put phone, email, and walk-in clients straight onto the calendar, and Pay Later means you can confirm now and collect when it suits.

🔧 Where to find it

Admin Panel → Sessions → New individual booking (or create one straight from the calendar).

🛠 Create the booking

  1. Start a new individual booking, pick the client (or add a new one), and choose the service, add-ons, room, and time.

  2. Confirm, and it lands on your calendar just like a web booking.

🚀 Admin bookings skip the public limits

Because you are booking, the cutoff and buffer do not apply, so you can slot something in for an hour from now or back-to-back. Podyx still protects you from double-booking the same room.

💵 Pay Later and cash

You do not have to collect a card on the spot. Mark the booking Pay Later (or cash) to confirm now and settle later. Podyx records the amount owed and keeps the status visible so nothing slips, and when they pay you mark it paid and the record updates.

🎯 When to use it

  • Phone or email bookings.

  • Walk-ins and regulars you handle personally.

  • Comps or special arrangements (pair with a manually granted bundle).

🧠 Why it matters

Your booking page cannot catch every client. Admin bookings make sure the ones who call, email, or walk in still end up on the same calendar, with the same clean records and payment tracking, so nothing falls through the cracks.

✅ Summary

Admin bookings put any client on the calendar without the public guardrails, and Pay Later or cash lets you confirm now and collect when it suits.
