Redeem payment from a plan
After payment is completed, the service is added to your calendar. The service provider is set as the default staff member and the date is the current date. The time is added in the past since sessions are often paid for upon completion. This means that it you process the payment at 4:00 PM, it'll appear in the calendar as a 3:00 PM appointment. You can edit these details in the calendar.
