Approving Requested Bookings

To get an overview of parent-requested care:

  • Head to Finances in your sidebar and open the Overview section, then click on Purchases

  • Here you'll find a list of requested and approved bookings

  • To approve a booking, select it and click Approve. The child will now be booked in for that session or product.

Parents will be able to see Approved, Rejected and Pending booking requests on their accounts, too. They can access these by going to their child's profile and clicking on Bookings.

Keep in mind that parents can only see ad hoc purchases and requested purchases outside of their child's regular booking pattern. Parents cannot see their child's booking pattern in this tab.
