Got a client who wants to pay ahead for a booking they haven't come in for yet? POS has a dedicated Future Service button for exactly that.
1. Add the client to the sale
Go to POS and add the client, either from Today's Clients or by searching for them. If they've got other unpaid visits sitting on their account, those come across into the cart too. That's normal, see the note below.
2. Bring in the future booking
Hit Future Service at the bottom of the screen. Any services the client has booked for a later date get added to the cart alongside whatever else is already there.
Quick check. Future bookings show the appointment date next to the service, like (10/10/2026), so you can tell them apart from today's services.
3. Take off anything they're not paying for yet
Only prepaying one of a few future bookings? Click the trash icon next to the ones you don't want in this sale and choose Remove from Sale only. That takes it out of the cart but leaves the appointment sitting on its future date, ready to come up again next time.
Note: Delete from Appointment Book does something different: it cancels the booking completely. Only use that if the client isn't coming in for that appointment at all.
4. Take payment
When the cart's right, hit Receive Payment, choose how the client's paying, and hit Finish Sale.
The future appointment is now paid for. It'll show as grey on the diary once its date comes around, the same signal you'd see for any finished sale.
