Copying a booking
Copying a booking is a quick way to duplicate a Customer's booking, so you don’t need to recreate it from the beginning. Follow these steps to copy a booking:
1. Click on the Copy Booking option within the left-hand menu of the booking invoice. This option is also available from the Edit tab of the invoice.
2. From the Copy Booking modal, select the Start Date for the new booking from the available dates. Use the back (<) and forward (>) arrows to move monthly through the calendar.
3. Click the Copy Booking button.
4. Double-check the booking information from the Create Booking page and modify the booking details as needed.
5. Click the Continue button to complete the booking.
The system generates a new, duplicate booking invoice with the default status of a new Staff-side booking, e.g., Pending, and it sends the Customer an email notification associated with the booking status.
You can then add a payment or manage the booking invoice as you would for any other booking.
