We would all like it if our business ran as smooth as possible but there are times when you need to cater for situations that are outside of our control. While customers would normally make bookings prior to the session time commencing (future booking) in some situations we need to cater for booking historically. To cater for these situations, you need to have the ability to make a booking/payment for a time in the past (historical booking).
Some examples on when you might need to make a historic booking:
- A customer attended a session without a prior booking
- A walk-up customer is running late and needs to be booked into a session that has already commenced
- A term events that runs across multiple weeks has already commenced and a customer wants to book in after the term has started
To cater for these situations a business user can make a historical booking form the business dashboard. Configuring the account to allow for historical bookings enables the business to make bookings from their dashboard up to 3 months in the past.
