### **What the customer sees after booking**

Once a customer completes a booking, they land on a confirmation page. This page is divided into the following sections:

**Booking status** Shows the current state of the booking — for example **Approved** or **Pending** depending on your approval settings.

### **Email and SMS confirmation**

If email or SMS notifications are enabled, customers will receive a message mirroring the same information shown on the confirmation page, including:

- Booking reference 
- Business name and contact details 
- Date, time, service, and staff 
- Payment summary — amount paid and remaining balance

> 💡 **Note:** The wording and contact information in these messages can be updated in **Booking Settings → Company** and your notification settings.

### **Editing your confirmation content**

To update what customers see and receive, go to:

**NeroPOS → Bookings → Booking Settings → Company**

From here you can edit:

| Field | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| Logo | Your business logo shown on the confirmation page and emails |
| Phone number | The contact number displayed to customers |
| Email address | Where customers can reach you |
| Policy links | Cancellation policy and any other relevant terms |

> ⚠️ **Recommended minimum:** Make sure your confirmation always includes at least the following three things:
> 
>  
> 
> - How to contact you 
> - Your cancellation policy 
> - The balance remaining to pay on arrival

### **Best practice — confirmation copy examples**

The text customers see should always match your actual deposit settings. Here are two examples to guide you:

****For deposit bookings:****

> *"Thank you for your booking. We've taken a £1 deposit to secure your reservation. The remaining £19 is due at the venue on the day. If you need to cancel or make changes, please contact us at least 24 hours in advance."*

****For fully paid bookings:****

> *"Thank you for your booking. You're fully paid — no payment is due on arrival. If you need to cancel or make changes, please contact us at least 24 hours in advance."*

> ⚠️ **Important:** Always check that the wording in your confirmation matches your actual deposit configuration in Booking Settings. Inconsistent information — for example, telling customers no payment is due when a balance is still owed — leads to confusion and disputes at the venue.

### **Frequently asked questions**

**Can I customise the confirmation page layout?**

You can update the content shown — logo, contact details, and policy links — via Booking Settings → Company. Full layout customisation is not currently available.

**How do I turn email or SMS notifications on?**

Go to your notification settings in Booking Settings and toggle the relevant options on. Make sure your company contact details are filled in before enabling notifications.

**What does the Pending status mean on the confirmation page?**

Pending means the booking is waiting for your manual approval. Once you confirm it from your dashboard, the status will update to Approved and the customer will be notified.

**A customer says they didn't receive a confirmation email — what should I do?**

Ask them to check their spam or junk folder first. If it's still missing, verify that their email address was entered correctly at the time of booking and that email notifications are enabled in your settings.
