Editing a booking

Editing a booking is just like creating one - except everything is pre-filled. You can change the pet, groomer, services, time, notes, discounts, or deposits when it’s allowed.

When can I edit a booking?​

A booking is locked if its latest invoice is marked Paid and there’s real money on it (payments or credits). When locked:

  • You can still edit notes.
  • You cannot change pet, services, time, groomer, or pricing.

Bookings that are Completed but unpaid are still editable.

What changes are blocked when payments exist?​

  • You can’t change the pet if any payments or balance credits are already applied.
  • You can’t mark the booking as Unavailable if a deposit is still recorded.

What happens to prices when I edit?​

When you save changes, Barkway re-locks service prices using your current service pricing. That means:

  • If prices have changed in Settings, the booking (and invoice) will use the new prices once you save.

What happens to invoices when I edit?​

Every time you save changes, Barkway:

  • Creates a fresh invoice for the booking.
  • Moves any payments and client balance credits to the new invoice.
  • Marks the previous invoice as cancelled (for history).

This keeps the invoice clean and matched to the latest booking details.

Pro tips​

  • Double-check services before saving changes so your invoice stays accurate.
  • Use notes for any client-agreed changes (like “shorter trim than usual”).
  • If you need to change a paid booking, refund or adjust the payment first.

🐾 Quick, easy, and flexible - editing in Barkway keeps your bookings tidy without the paperwork mess.
