Wix Bookings: Canceling and Refunding Sessions

In this article
  • Canceling an appointment
  • Canceling a single class or course session
  • Canceling recurring class sessions on specific days
  • FAQs
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.
If you’re charging a cancellation fee and issuing a refund, charge the cancellation fee first. Then, go to the Orders dashboard to process the refund for the paid session. Learn more about refunding orders.
