Overview
Custom Statuses
Back to topCheckfront provides you with the ability to create your own statuses as well as customize system statuses to further adapt the system to your own business requirements. Some of you may never use custom statuses, whereas some of you may create multiple ones.
Looking at the example above, you see a custom status labelled Reschedule. This would be ideal for a customer that wishes to change their booking, but doesn't want to fully cancel and is yet to decide on the new date.
Since the status lock is unchecked, selecting this status returns the booked items or products to inventory, so they may be enjoyed by somebody else while leaving the booking in a "pending" state.
You can search for the status in your Booking Index to quickly see which bookings still need to be rescheduled and no refunds need to be made to the customer.
