Getting started with booking statuses
Back to top
Checkfront bookings can have one of several statuses associated with them (e.g. Pending, Paid, Cancelled...).
Which statues are utilized depends on your system and payment configuration:
- If you have payment processing enabled in your account, bookings made on your website are automatically set to Paid or Deposit, depending on your Ecommerce settings.
- If payment processing is not active or a booking is made through the Checkfront dashboard by a Staff member, then the invoice status is set to whatever default you have chosen in the Configuration area (Manage > Setup > Configuration).

You also have the ability to create additional custom statuses as required, which we learn about later in this series.
In the next article in this series, we start by looking at the default booking status types.
