Appointment cards show in places such as the Dashboard, Calendar Details, Manage Services, Service by Date Report, Animal and Owner profiles, and the shopping cart. If a scheduled service is assigned to a reservation for the current date, it shows on the Appointment Card. Otherwise, a history of scheduled services shows for the future.

InvoiceThe receipt provided after an animal checks out and revenue is collected. Invoices are itemized and let the business refund a payment if needed.

Pricing RulesA feature that automates fees and discounts applied to Reservation Types. These can include multiple pet discounts, extended stay discounts, unaltered fees, and late check-out or early check-in fees.
  • Exception: A way to mark that if one rule takes effect, another set rule does not. For example, if you have both multiple pet discounts and extended stay discounts but want a pet to get only one, you can apply an Exception.
  • Inception: A workaround where one pricing rule leads to another Reservation Type with another set of Pricing Rules. For example, if a late check-out fee must apply per family instead of per pet, you can create an Inception Reservation Type with Multipet Rules that split the fee equally between all the pets on the reservation.
  • System Modifier: A category of Reservation Type used for workarounds, such as Pricing Inceptions and Additional Service Packages.
