In short: set reminder timing and the deadline action in Payment Reminders, and chase unpaid links on Outstanding Payments.

where to find it

Set the reminders

  1. Go to Bookings › Main Settings › Payment Reminders, then choose your venue.
  2. Under Reminder cadence, set the three reminders in minutes, hours or days before the deadline.
  3. Under When the deadline passes, pick Cancel booking and email guest, Cancel booking, notify staff only (you call the guest) or Mark payment expired, leave booking active (you decide).
  4. Click Save changes.
the default reminders
  1. Go to Bookings › Outstanding Payments. It starts on All venues, so pick one in the venue filter to narrow it.
  2. Open Payment actions on the guest's row.
  3. Choose Resend reminder now, Extend deadline or Cancel payment link.
  4. To extend, pick the New deadline and click Extend deadline. Pending reminders are rescheduled against the new deadline.
  1. Open the booking on the Day Planner.
  2. Scroll to Payment links. Each link shows its amount and type.
  3. Use the buttons beside it: View details, Resend email, Copy link or Delete.

Resend email is greyed out once the link is paid, and Delete only shows while it is still unpaid.

Change the amount

A payment link cannot be edited. Delete it, then click Add next to Payment links and create a new one.

Amount is the total for the booking. For a charge per person, multiply it by the party size yourself.

The card icons on a booking

  • A red card icon means Outstanding payment: a link is waiting to be paid.
  • A plain card icon means Payment method on file: a card is saved. It does not mean money was taken.

Good to know

  • When the deadline passes only applies to links added with Auto-cancel the booking if not paid by deadline ticked.
  • Defaults are 3 days, 1 day and 2 hours before the deadline. Reset to defaults puts them back.
  • The same reminders cover deposits, card-on-file requests and pre-order payments.
  • FOH, Bookings Manager, Marketing and IT cannot see Outstanding Payments or Payment Reminders.
