FLOW allows you to charge for block bookings in two ways:

  1. Take a payment at the Front of House
    – Full or partial payment can be taken immediately.

    – Full or partial amounts can be invoiced by selecting specific dates (occurrences).

Important:
To generate invoices, you must have an Invoicing Third-Party System connected to FLOW.
