Delete existing appointments or convert them to online classes
Due to the lockdown, most studios need to adjust the existing schedule. Here you can find all information on how to convert existing onsite classes into online classes or how to delete planned appointments.
Cancellations and refunds of existing bookings
When you sign out customers from an activity, they get their credits back. Your customers can then use this visit for a future activity. In this case, however, the money will not be refunded. If you want to refund the money to your customers, it is necessary to cancel the invoice. Here you can find out how to refund your customers.
We wish you and your team all the best for the coming weeks!
Best wishes,
