Does booking always require full payment?
No. A service may require a card on file, a deposit, or payment in full. Review the payment summary before confirming.
Is keeping a card on file the same as paying?
No. Saving payment details does not mean the full service price has been paid. Check the booking's payment record to see what was actually collected.
Does a deposit reduce the balance due?
Yes. A booking deposit is applied toward the final balance. Staff should verify prior payments before collecting the remainder.
Will a cancellation or no-show trigger a charge?
That depends on the business's published policy and the booking terms. Review them before booking, and contact the business about a specific charge or refund.
What should I do if payment fails?
Check the payment details and try a valid payment method. Do not create a duplicate booking just to pay the same balance.
