Translations:Accept payments custom feature/38/en

1. A client goes through the booking process and presses Book Now at the end. Or he/she selects some memberships/package/gift card, etc. to buy.

2. He is directed to summary step to choose a payment method. At this stage unconfirmed booking appears in the admin calendar marked red as not paid to reserve this time so that no other person can accidentally book the same slot and there will be no double-bookings. As well an order with the New status appears in Payment transactions report.

3. After that, the client has 2 options:

3.1. to pay and the payment processor will send us confirmation that client has paid and we will automatically approve the transaction on our side (booking will be marked with green color and the order with paid status).

3.2. to not finish paying: the client is directed to the payment system, but then he closes the page, closes the browser, or simply leaves it open without any actions for a long period of time. In this case, the system will wait until timeout you set up in the settings of Accept payments custom feature will end and will cancel the non-paid booking/transaction because it was never finished. You can set the emails to be sent to client and/or you to be notified about the timed out bookings.

Same happens if the client paid, but paid later than timeout. In this case, if you receive a notification from PayPal/Stripe/etc. that client paid for the booking/order but as it was too late you can go to Payments -> Transactions or Reports -> Payment transactions within SimplyBook.me interface and approve this booking manually.
