🛠️How to Checkout a Client

You can check out clients either from a scheduled appointment or without one by starting a new transaction. Each method walks you through confirming client and service details, selecting a payment type, and completing the transaction smoothly.

📆Check Out a Client With an Appointment

Use this process when the client has an appointment on the calendar and is ready to pay.

  1. Open your software and click the Appointment Book icon to open the calendar view.

  2. Click on the client’s appointment on the calendar to preview the appointment details.

  3. If the client is already checked in, a Check Out button appears in the bottom-right.

    • If you don’t see it, click Appt Details > Actions > Check Out.

  4. The next screen shows the client’s info, selected services or products, and the order summary. Confirm that everything is correct.

  7. When the payment is confirmed, click Close Ticket to complete the checkout.

👥How to Complete a Multi-Ticket (Group) Checkout

Combine multiple tickets into one seamless checkout. This is useful when clients have more than one appointment or when a group is paying together. You'll choose who pays, review all ticket details, and process a single payment.

  1. After selecting the tickets you wish to add to the group checkout, click Manage Selected.

  2. All selected tickets will appear on the right side, showing appointment details for each one.

  4. When your ticket list is ready, click Group to continue to the next step.


➕Add Items During a Group Checkout

You can add extra services or products to any of the tickets before completing a multi-ticket checkout. Items can be assigned to a specific client during the process.

Click the arrow to learn how to add a product or service to a selected ticket

  3. A pop-up window will appear prompting you to select which client should receive the item.

  4. Once selected, the item will be added directly to their ticket.

  5. Review the updated ticket details, then click Proceed to Payments.

⚠️Please Note:
You can only remove a product or service from the payer’s ticket or from items you’ve just added. To edit another ticket, remove it from the group, make your changes, then restart the multi-ticket checkout.

At the bottom of the ticket, you’ll also find action buttons like Buy a Gift Card, Return an Item, and Add Credit to Balance. These options are only available for the payer’s ticket.
