Managing bookings

Finding a booking

Three tools, and they combine:

• Status tabs across the top — All, Confirmed, Pending, Completed, Cancelled, No-show — each showing a live count.
• Search by customer name or email, service name, or staff name.
• Filters for a specific staff member or service.

Exporting your bookings

The Export CSV button above the list downloads your bookings as a spreadsheet, ready to open in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.

The export follows whatever you are already looking at. If you have picked the Completed tab, searched for a customer and filtered to one staff member, that is exactly what you get — no need to set the filters up twice.

Each row carries the booking’s reference and status, the service and staff member, the customer’s name, email, phone and address, the start and end times in the booking’s own timezone, how long it runs, the party size, the amount and currency, what has been paid and refunded, what is still owed, how it was paid, the payment status, where the booking came from, and when it was created and last changed. Anything the customer typed into the notes field on the form comes through too.

Seat reservations carry their own columns: the venue and hall, the seats that were booked by label, and how many. Appointments carry the service, the staff member and any add-ons. Rows come out in booking-id order — sort them however you like once they are in your spreadsheet.

Booking statuses

Every booking is in exactly one of five states. Status drives what customers are emailed and whether the slot is held.

Status	Meaning	Slot held?
Pending	Made but not yet confirmed — awaiting your approval.	Yes
Confirmed	Going ahead. The normal state for an upcoming appointment.	Yes
Completed	The appointment happened. Counts toward revenue and your completion rate.	Yes (it is in the past)
Cancelled	Called off, by you or by the customer.	No — the time is bookable again immediately
No-show	The customer did not turn up.	No

The booking drawer

Click any row to slide out the full record.

The drawer shows:

• The customer — name, email and phone, so you can get in touch without leaving the screen.
• Appointment — service, staff member, date, time, party size, and the source the booking came from (the public form, or the admin).
• Add-ons — itemized, if the booking has any.
• Payment — total, how much has been paid, and the outstanding balance.

The buttons along the bottom change the status: Mark completed, No-show and Cancel. Each one fires the matching customer email, if you have that email switched on.

Creating a booking yourself

Phone and walk-in bookings go through New booking, at the top right of any screen.

1. Choose the service
   Then a staff member, or leave it on First available to let Schedopia pick.
2. Pick the date and a free time
   Only genuinely available slots are offered — the same ones a customer would see.
3. Choose add-ons
   If the service has any. The available times refresh to fit the longer appointment.
4. Find or create the customer
   Search by name or email, or add a new one inline with New customer.
5. Set the starting status
   Usually Confirmed for a booking you are taking over the phone.

Seat reservations

If you run events, seat reservations sit in the same list as appointments. The Service / Seat column shows the event name and how many seats the booking holds, and the drawer opens as a Reservation — event, seats, date and total — instead of an appointment. Everything else works the same: statuses, payments, cancellation. To reserve seats for a customer yourself, switch New booking to its Seat reservation tab — see Booking seats.

Rescheduling

Open the booking and change its date and time. The new slot is checked for availability just like a fresh booking, the old time is released, and the customer’s reminder is re-armed for the new time.

Where bookings come from

The Source field records how each booking was made — form for the public booking form, admin for one you created, customer for a customer’s own self-service cancellation. It is useful for understanding how much of your business books itself.
