If a customer misses or cancels an appointment that has already been paid in advance, you can graciously transfer the prepaid credit to a new appointment. Depending on whether the original appointment is still on the same day or is already in the past, you proceed slightly differently.
Variant 1: On the day of the prepaid appointment
- 1Cancel the missed appointment (see also Appointment status change to "Cancelled" – No Show).
- 2Remove all services from the appointment and use the "Store prepayment" function (details see Prepayments for future appointments).
- 3Enter the prepaid amount and complete the process with the payment method of the original appointment.
- 4The stored prepayment can subsequently be redeemed at a new appointment of the customer.
Variant 2: The prepaid appointment is in the past
From an accounting perspective, past appointments can no longer be cancelled. In this case, proceed as follows:
- 1Create a return for the appointment in the past (see also Cancel invoices).
- 2Create a prepayment in the amount of the return using the "Store prepayment" function (details see Prepayments for future appointments).
- 3Complete the process – since the invoice amount is 0.00 €, no payment method needs to be selected.
