  9. On the "Party Booking Summary" screen, review the party information displayed. If needed, click the back arrow in your browser to return to a previous page to make adjustments. (Be sure to click CONTINUE on each page to apply any changes.)

Checking Out

To check out/submit your party booking:

  1. Choose whether to pay only the required Deposit, or to pay the Full Amount (if this option is available).

  2. If the option to "Allow Visitors the Ability to Use Available Account Credits" is enabled under SETTINGS>CUSTOMER PORTAL>OTHER SETTINGS>FINANCIAL, customers will be given the option to apply existing account credit towards their balance.
  3. If no credit exists or customers do not wish to apply it, they can choose to “Use Payment Method on File” to use their existing autopay method to make a payment.
  4. Unchecking the “Use Payment Method on File” option will allow them to enter new payment details.
    • The "Store/Update Payment Method on File?" and "Opt-In to Recurring Billing" options will be auto-checked based on the status of the "Require Saved Payment Method Authorized For Recurring Billing" setting under SETTINGS>CUSTOMER PORTAL>OTHER SETTINGS>FINANCIAL.
      • If this setting is enabled, the customer will not be allowed to uncheck "Store payment method on file?" (although they will be allowed to request to disable "Opt-In to Recurring Billing").
      • If this setting is NOT enabled, the "Store payment method on file?" and "Opt-In to Recurring Billing" options will appear but will NOT be auto-enabled.
      • If “Opt-In to Recurring Billing” is enabled, the “Recurring Payment Opt In” policy will be displayed and must be accepted to continue. Once accepted, a success message will be displayed, and the family will receive the "Opt-In Confirmation for Recurring Payment" email.
        • This template can be edited under SETTINGS>SETUP>GENERAL SETTINGS>COMMUNICATION TEMPLATES>CUSTOMER PORTAL>"Opt-In Confirmation for Recurring Payment."
  5. After making the appropriate selection, click PAY NOW to submit the payment and complete the checkout.
