Use these examples when you want to assess waiting time yourself, discount a selected customer's invoice, or charge for weekend and evening appointments.
Find your scenario
| Your question | What to use | Detailed walkthrough |
|---|---|---|
| “How do I hide my $15-per-15-minutes waiting fee from public booking and add it myself?” | Per Unit → Staff applies → Waiting time. Enter waiting minutes in Edit Invoice; the first completed block is at 15 minutes. No waiting charge applies to a no-show. | Keep waiting time off the booking form |
| “Can I apply a friends-and-family percentage discount or give a selected customer a 100% courtesy appointment?” | Edit Invoice → Friends & family or Courtesy. Choose the rate and scope yourself; original prices remain itemized with a separate deduction. | Apply customer discounts manually |
| “Can Saturday and Sunday automatically cost $40 more? What happens on a holiday?” | Flat $40 → Automatically → Weekend. A matching holiday charge replaces the weekend charge; evening and same-day charges can still apply. | Charge $40 for weekend appointments |
| “My charge says Evening Service – 6 PM or Later. Which automatic rule should I use?” | Automatically → Evening / After Hours, with a start time of 18:00. Your charge label is what customers see. | Set evening service to start at 6 PM |
Choose where the amount is applied
Customer selects creates an optional public booking add-on. Staff applies keeps a charge out of those add-ons and makes it available for manual invoice entry. Automatically uses the assigned rule: date and time rules update the booking quote, while cancellation and no-show rules are assessed after the applicable appointment event.
Manual percentage discounts are in Edit Invoice. A percentage Additional Charge adds a fee; entering 100% there does not create a courtesy discount.
The dollar amounts and discount rates in these examples are business choices. Save the charges, assign them to the applicable services, and check the public quote. Invoice adjustments do not collect payment or issue a refund.
