The most basic pricing type Bookamat offers is a casual reservation or drop in. This pricing allows a client to be added into an activity with a reservation (unpaid booking).
To confirm a casual reservation booking, the client can either pay online, or you (the business account) can activate their booking and/or record their payment manually on the billing page.
If a client fails to pay for their casual reservation before the start time of their activity, the amount will remain in your outstanding payments list. This means you can then issue an invoice for late payment if required.
Note that casual reservation pricing will not be displayed under the list of packs offered since they can only be added via the schedule.
To offer a single or casual booking which is listed under your list of packs, create a credit pack pricing for one credit.
Prepayment
To force a client to pay at the time of booking online, go to My Business > Billing > Prepaid Settings and enable. This features require online payment processing to have been enabled. For more information see prepaid settings.
