Tip #14: Add terms and conditions on the booking form


Did you know that you can add your service's terms and conditions on the booking form? The terms and conditions checkbox requires your customers to confirm that they have read and accept your company's guidelines, policies, and expectations. You can also include a link to the terms and conditions page on your website to further ensure the customer is aware of your terms.

For example, psychotherapists often have terms and conditions for booking appointments, including cancellation policies, payment terms, and privacy policies for patient information. This ensures that the patient is aware of the policies before they meet.

In Zoho Bookings, you have the option to include your terms and conditions message along with a hyperlink to your policy page.


 

 

Steps to add terms and conditions on the booking form:

  1. Navigate to Services > Select the required service on left pane > Choose Service Preferences on the middle pane. In the Terms and Conditions section on the right, the toggle button will be in the Disabled state.


  1. Set the toggle to Enabled. A Message box will appear. You can enter the text that you want to appear on the booking form and click Save.


  1. To add a link in the message, select the particular text to be linked as shown below.


  1. Then select the link icon. Enter the URL of your policy in the textbox and click Ok.


  1. To make any text bold, select the text and click the B icon.


  1. Click Save.

  1. On the booking page, the customer will be able to see the terms and conditions message in the booking form.


 

Info:
For Group and Resource bookings services, terms and conditions can be added in the workspace settings under Workspaces > Policies and Preferences. 


Incorporating terms and conditions on the booking form serves a multifaceted purpose. It fosters transparency and minimizes misunderstandings and disputes by providing explicit guidelines for crucial matters.

Maybe the PO is going to be late arriving so we have to change the shipment date of the Sales order ! Not even allowed through the api - {"code":36014,"message":"Sales orders that have been shipped or on hold cannot be updated."}

This creates a new message in the Ticket thread that not only pollutes the thread, but most importantly cannot be replied properly because usually auto-reply e-mails don't do "reply all", so the other recipients are not included. I want to delete such a message in the Ticket thread. I searched the help of Zoho Desk, but only found a way to mark as Spam (https://help.zoho.com/portal/kb/articles/marking-support-tickets-as-spam)

So now, the incorrect check is showing as un-reconciled. Is there any way I can edit a previous reconciliation (this is 7 months ago) so I can adjust the check that was reconciled? The amounts are exactly the same and it won't change my ending balance.

                                                                                                                  Hello, I am wanting to write a Deluge script that would take the shipping address on a Sales Order and upon conversion to a Sales Order automatically insert it into that corresponding PO. I am new to Deluge but understand that it has great capabilities.

They seem to be active but errors occur when updating them ?

I understand that the Attention field can be used for that purpose, but that's not really the intended purpose of that field.
