Set the reminders
- Go to Bookings › Main Settings › Payment Reminders, then choose your venue.
- Under Reminder cadence, set the three reminders in minutes, hours or days before the deadline.
- 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).
- Click Save changes.

Manage unpaid links
- Go to Bookings › Outstanding Payments. It starts on All venues, so pick one in the venue filter to narrow it.
- Open Payment actions on the guest's row.
- Choose Resend reminder now, Extend deadline or Cancel payment link.
- To extend, pick the New deadline and click Extend deadline. Pending reminders are rescheduled against the new deadline.
Find a link on a booking
- Open the booking on the Day Planner.
- Scroll to Payment links. Each link shows its amount and type.
- 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.
