What happens when a web booking comes in?

Written by Eric Plamondon

When a customer books a service online through your Live Pricing or Real-Time Booking Page, MioCommerce automatically creates the web booking inside your MioCommerce account.

You can find it under: CRM → Web Bookings

The admin is notified immediately via email.


Booking Status

If a date & time was selected

The booking is automatically Scheduled and appears on your Calendar.

If no date & time was selected

The booking is created as Unscheduled and must be scheduled manually before it appears on your Calendar.


Payment Processing with MioPay (via Stripe)

If your MioPay (via Stripe) is connected in the Marketplace, the following happens:

  • MioCommerce will create a pre-authorized charge in Stripe for you. The customer’s credit card information is securely transferred to Stripe, without any MioCommerce involvement.

  • MioCommerce does not store or process credit card information

  • All the payment transactions are displayed on your MioCommerce account.

  • Each transaction is attached to the specific booking and customer profile

  • You can manage payments directly in MioCommerce:

    • Capture charges

    • Release pre-authorizations

    • Issue refund


What Determines How the Customer Is Charged?

How the payment is handled depends on how you set up your Booking Page.

When a customer books online, you choose whether to:

  • Pre-Authorize the card
    → The amount is held on the customer’s card, but not charged yet.
    → You can capture or release it later.

OR


Every time a customer books online, MioCommerce automatically:

  • Creates the booking in your account

  • Notifies you immediately

  • Processes the payment based on your settings

  • Prepares the booking for scheduling and dispatch

From there, you’re in control - review it, schedule it (if needed), and dispatch your team.
