I've been using this method for years and really wish there was another option to add fees in Vagaro outside of adding them to inventory. We have several upgrades and fees that we add as products and this completely throws off the reports when pulling numbers. It takes so much more work to have to back these numbers/figures out when having to provide actuals for cash flow projection/forecasting.
Hi Carissa. Thank you for the feedback. I'm going to send this request to our management team.
Is it possible to debit an existing package when charging this cancellation fee?
Hi Kari,
Yes, but the Cancellation service would have to be included in the package for it to be redeemed properly. Or you can manually adjust the package to remove one visit from their number of visits.
