| |
| − | ;How Accept Payments Custom Feature works
| |
| − | :1. A client goes through the booking process and presses "Book Now" at the end.
| |
| − | :2. He is directed to payment system and unconfirmed booking appears in the admin calendar with red mark "not paid" to reserve this time so that no other person can accidentally book the same slot and there were no double bookings. <br>
| |
| − | [[File: Non-paid booking view.png |center]]<br><br>
| |
| − | :3. After that, the client has 2 options:
| |
| − | ::3.1. pay and the payment processor will send us confirmation that client paid and we will approve it on our side (mark in calendar will become Green). <br>
| |
| − | [[File: Paid booking view.png |center]]<br><br>
| |
| − | ::3.2. do 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 [[Custom_Features#Accept_Payments | Accept payments Custom Feature]] will end and will cancel the non-paid booking. Emails to client and admin won't be sent about the timed out bookings because they were never finished. 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 a booking but too late, you can go to Reports//Payment transactions and approve this booking manually.<br>
| |
| − | [[File:Approve timeout booking v3.png |center]]<br><br>
| |
| | | | |
| − | ;What is "Allow delay payment" option
| + | =[[Anti-Fraud/Spam Protection Custom Feature|Anti-Fraud/Spam Protection Custom Feature]]= |
| − | [[File:Allow delay payment option.png | border | center]] | + | [[File:Booking restriction plugin icon.png|left]] This is an Anti-Fraud/Spam Protection feature. It enables administrators to limit the number of bookings that can be made from the same email, phone, and IP address. The feature provides various options, such as setting the maximum number of bookings, defining the time period in which these bookings can be made, and the ability to block or flag suspected fraudulent activities. This feature helps to prevent fraudulent or spammy bookings and protects the system's integrity, ensuring a smooth and trustworthy booking experience for legitimate customers. |
| − | When your clients are transferred to the payment page after "Details" tab, they usually have several options: your payment processor (one or several) and "Pay Later". "Pay Later" means that client will pay right on the place when he/she arrives to the appointment. In your Dashboard, when you click on appointment, such booking in the service price field will have remark (Pay Later). If you want to disable "Pay later" option, set the switcher to "Off" position for "Allow delay payment" in the settings of [[Custom_Features#Accept_Payments | Accept payments Custom Feature]].
