Cancellation Reasons

To get to Cancellation Reasons, type cancellationreasons into the Convobar, or go to Meevo > Appointments > Cancellation Reasons.

A Cancellation Reason provides reportable details on why an appointment was canceled. When you delete (cancel) an appointment in Meevo, a Cancellation Reason is a required field.

Can employees receive commission on a canceled appointment?

Yes, an employee can receive commission on the cancellation fee according to the employee's service commission settings. Note price adjustments from Cancellation/No-Show Fees are always honored in commission calculations, even if Full Commission is enabled. 

Adding a Cancellation Reason

Tip: If creating several records that have similar details, select Copy to create a new record with fields identical to the one you just copied. This can save you a lot of time when creating data in Meevo. 

  1. From the Cancellation Reasons search form, select Add New.
  2. Display Name: Enter a name that will make this item easy to identify in lists or menus in Meevo.
  3. Cancellation Fee Amount: The fee, if any, for canceled appointments. A value of zero (0) means that a client will not be charged for this Cancellation Reason. 
  4. Apply fee to each Add-On: When enabled, the client will be charged a Cancellation Fee for each add-on in the canceled appointment.
  5. Include in Online Booking Cancellation Reasons: Makes this Cancellation Reason available to clients that cancel an appointment through Online Booking. For this option to take effect, Allow Online Appointment Cancellation must be enabled in Online Booking Settings.
