- Select Confirm (check mark) to approve the booked product.
Once approved, the user receives an invoice via email to pay. The customer can then pay on their My Account page. The link to their My Account Page is included in the email they receive.
View a booking
↑ Back to topTo view a booking, the Eye takes you to the Edit/View Booking page. This works similar to other admin pages such as Edit Order, except it is for booking data.
These details can be edited, then saved when you are done.
Be careful when changing start and end dates and times. Be sure that the start date is always more recent than the end date. Note that the customer will not receive an automatic email with any changes.

- In Cart: Booking has been added to a customer cart. If not purchased, it is deleted within 60 minutes.
