You can cancel and remove sessions from your calendar when necessary. You can also choose to issue a refund or notify clients about the cancellation. This helps keep clients informed and manage your schedule effectively.

Cancellation emails and SMS notifications allow you to maintain clear communication between you and your clients. For instance, if a client cancels a personal training session last minute, you can quickly update your calendar, issue a refund, and send a cancellation notice.

Canceling an appointment

When canceling an appointment, you can choose to refund it, charge a cancellation fee, and send a cancellation email. If you cancel an appointment from the desktop booking calendar, you can also send an SMS notification. Once you refund an appointment, it cannot be undone.
