Customer-requested reschedule
When a customer asks to move their booking to another slot:
- Open the booking
- Review the requested new slot against the professional's availability
- Accept (the booking moves to the new slot) or Reject (with a reason — the customer can pick another slot or cancel)
A reschedule keeps the booking and payment intact; only the time changes.
Partner-initiated reschedule
If you must move a booking (professional unavailable, emergency):
- Open the booking → Reschedule
- Propose a new slot
- The customer confirms or declines
Always reschedule rather than silently letting a booking lapse — an unattended slot counts against you.
Cancellation policy
Your services cancellation policy governs refunds:
- Free cancellation up to a cut-off before the slot
- Partial / no refund after the cut-off
The policy is shown to the customer before they book. Set it in your settings.
Cancelling a booking
- Open the booking → Cancel
- Select a reason
- Confirm — the customer is refunded according to the policy and the cancellation stage
You will not earn for a cancelled booking. Partner-initiated cancellations may affect your metrics.
Refund process
- Refunds are triggered automatically based on the cancellation stage and your policy
- Track refunds in Finance → Cancellation Refunds
Finance escalation
For situations the automatic policy cannot resolve — a late paid cancellation, a payment complication, a partial-completion refund:
- Apply the reschedule/cancellation as far as you can
- Open a support case with the booking reference if there's a policy conflict or payment complexity
- Track the financial impact in Finance
Exceptions
| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| Late paid cancellation | Route to operations approval via a support case before closing — do not unilaterally refund or retain |
| No-show by customer | Mark per policy; if non-refundable, you retain per settlement rules |
| No-show by professional | The customer is entitled to a refund; reschedule if they prefer, and address the professional internally |
