Add notes to the appointment
Under the Notes tab, you can capture important information specifically relating to the appointment e.g. special request, progress or formulas used that day.

Set up Upfront payments
Under the Payments tab, you’ll be able to enable Upfront payments.
- If you have Upfront payments set up then it will be enabled by default when creating a new appointment.
- If you do not wish to use Upfront payments for a particular appointment you can simply uncheck the checkbox with the Payments tab when creating your appointment. The client will then not receive any request to confirm their appointment.
- If you choose to disable Upfront payments on appointment creation, you can always enable it later by sending a request to the client.
NOTE: You will need to have enabled Payment processing and set up payment options to use the features under the Payment tab.
PRO TIP: If you want to enable Payment processing whilst adding your New appointment, click Save before proceeding to set up Payment processing so that you don’t lose your appointment progress. You can always go back and finish setting up after.
