IOUs are issued to clients who are unable to pay for a service on the day of the appointment. Once an IOU is created, it gets added to a client's profile and included in all IOU reports so you can collect payment at a later date.
To get a customer to pay for an IOU in Vagaro, follow these steps:
- Click Reports at the top of the screen.
- Select IOU on the left side of the screen.
- Click Run Report after applying the appropriate search filters.
- Locate the customer and the IOU. Click the drop-down on the left side of the screen that corresponds to the item under Action. Then click Pay. This action takes you directly to the Checkout screen where you can collect payment.

Can I get a partial payment on the IOU? I want to set up a payment plan for a package and this seems to be the only solution.
Hi Jennifer. You can issue a partial payment as long as you issue the remaining payment as another form of payment, such as a cash, credit card, check, or gift certificate payment.
