FAQs

Can a user book multiple dates with one payment?

While users can't directly select several dates and book them with one payment, it is possible to include multiple bookings on a consolidated invoice:

For members with a subscription

  1. Enable "Pay with invoice" for the relevant service in their subscription settings.

  2. Members can then make multiple bookings using the "Invoice" payment method, and these will be added to the invoice rather than requiring immediate, separate payments for each.

For members without a subscription or nonmembers

  1. Nonmembers and members without a subscription can't use the "Invoice" payment method by themselves. Instead, you, as an administrator, can make multiple bookings for them and choose the "Invoice" payment method.

  2. All these bookings will be created as pending invoice items, allowing you to issue a single consolidated invoice for the customer from the Billing page in their profile.

Can I purchase an event ticket for a customer and bill it with the "Invoice" payment method?

No, currently, administrators can only make bookings on behalf of customers and select the "Invoice" payment method.
