Collect payment for unpaid bookings

Use this flow to take payment for a session, course, or group booking that was originally booked as unpaid.

Updated today

When to use it

  • The booking shows an unpaid balance and the customer is ready to pay now.

  • You need to take full payment for the remaining balance.

  • You need to take partial payment for selected sessions (only if supported for that booking type).

Before you start

  • Confirm you are viewing the correct customer and booking.

  • Check what is unpaid and what is already paid.

  • If taking partial payment, confirm partial payment is allowed for this booking type.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the unpaid session, course, or group booking.

  2. Select Collect payment (or Open POS) to launch the POS flow.

  3. Review the items shown:

    • What you are charging for

    • Total due for the selected items

    • Any remaining unpaid balance

  4. Choose what to charge:

    • Pay in full to collect the entire outstanding balance.

    • Select sessions to charge only specific sessions (if available).

  5. Take payment using your normal POS payment method.

  6. Confirm the result:

    • Success message shows payment captured.

    • The booking updates immediately to reflect the new payment state.

What you should see after payment

  • The booking shows a reduced or cleared unpaid balance.

  • Paid items are marked as paid.

  • Any unpaid items remain clearly visible.

Common issues and how to fix them

  • I can’t see “Collect payment / Open POS”

    • Check you have the right permissions.

    • Confirm the booking is eligible and has an unpaid balance.

  • The amount looks wrong

    • Recheck which sessions or items are selected.

    • Confirm discounts, credits, or previous partial payments are applied as expected.

  • Payment failed

    • Retry after confirming payment details.

    • If it continues to fail, record the error message and escalate to support.

Tips

  • If some sessions are already paid, double-check selection so you only charge what is unpaid.

  • Keep an eye on the “remaining unpaid balance” before confirming payment.

Escalation checklist (include in a support request)

  • Booking ID and customer

  • What you attempted to charge (full vs selected sessions)

  • Total shown in POS

  • Error message or screenshot

  • Time of attempt
