Offline payment

Offline payment refers to direct payment in cash at the counter, or a manual bank transfer to the administrator’s or vendor’s account.

For example, a customer may pay their total invoice—including commission fees, booking fees, and service charges—amounting to $480 directly at the vendor’s counter, or they may transfer the amount to the Admin’s bank account outside the website. This is the flexibility of the Offline payment method.

However, the vendor and the admin must mutually agree on a suitable payment method and have a clear contract or agreement in place. This arrangement is fully under the admin’s responsibility. From the BookingCore system side, there is no module to manage or control these offline transactions.

After the customer completes the payment, the booking status must be updated manually:

1. From the Admin Dashboard:
   The admin can go to the Booking Report section in the dashboard and update the booking status for the customer.

2. From the Vendor Dashboard:
   The vendor can also access the Booking Report section in their dashboard and update the booking status for their customer.

Once the status is updated from either of the two dashboards, the booking status will be synchronized in the database.
