Overview
Checking out an appointment on Boulevard is generally done after the service is provided; ideally the same day of the appointment or soon thereafter. Checking out an appointment ensures that the service provider gets paid, the customer gets charged, and the appointment details get added to the client history and business reports.
For more info on how to check out appointments using the Boulevard Professional app, check out Mobile Checkout.

General Appointment Checkout
From the calendar, single-click the appointment to be checked out
In the bottom right corner, click Checkout. You may need to click "Mark as Confirmed", "Mark as Arrived", etc. until "Checkout" appears.
Review and make any needed adjustments to the services, prices, and products.
If you wish to Prebook a future appointment, do this now using the buttons on the left.
Apply the payment source(s).
Click Charge.
Add an optional message on the receipt, then click Done.
NOTE: To help reduce fraud and support chargeback cases, billing postal codes are required for transactions when a card is not present or when storing a card on file. If processing a card on file and the provided postal code does not match the one associated with the card, the transaction still processes. Subsequently, you are asked to enter another postal code the next time you use the card on file.
If a client provides a foreign postal code, just enter it as they indicate. We handle any formatting on the back end. Some countries have postal codes with more or fewer digits than your standard 5-digit US zip code, so just enter the number of digits that the client provides. And if the client's country (such as the UAE) does not have postal codes, just enter "0" in the field.
Price Adjustments
From the Checkout window, you can optionally change a price or add products/gratuities. Using the icons to the right of the checkout window, you can Adjust Price or Add Discount. Click Update once the new price is correct. A discount or adjustment is reflected in the new Total.
