As a staff member you can cancel an appointment booking from the Elevate Staff App or the Staff Back Office. From the Staff Back Office, you can also cancel multiple appointments at once, including appointments in recurring bookings.
Service bookings can also be canceled by changing a client’s attendance status.
Clients can cancel appointments for themselves through either the Client Portal, the Achieve Client App, or the Appointment Confirmation email notification.
Key tips before you begin
If multiple clients are booked into an appointment, canceling the appointment booking for one client won’t cancel it for the others.
Visits paid for with a session pass or a membership that are marked as Early Cancel will be returned to the session pass or membership.
Returned visits won’t automatically pay for existing unpaid visits. To use a session pass or membership to pay for an unpaid visit, you must reconcile the visit.
If an appointment is canceled after a client is marked as Late Cancel, their appointment status automatically changes to Early Cancel. Purchase Option visits used for payment will be returned, but late cancellation fees won't be automatically refunded. To refund these fees, you must manually issue the refund to the client.
If a staff member cancels an appointment booking outside of the early cancellation window, on behalf of a client, the staff member can override the late fee and manually mark the appointment booking as Early Cancel. For more information, see Changing a client’s attendance status.
