Reschedule or cancel an appointment

Use this guide to change an appointment time (reschedule) or stop an appointment (cancel) from the Tipo Appointment Booking app.

✅ Before you start

• You need at least 1 appointment created.

• Your staff/team member must have availability for the new date/time (otherwise the time picker may not offer the slot).

📅 Reschedule an appointment

Appointments can now be rescheduled by both admin and customers.

Option 1 — Admin reschedules (from app)

1. Open the app > click Appointments > click on the appointment you want

Choose a view:

• Month view = quick overview

• List view = easier filtering/searching

1. Select the appointment to open Appointment details

2. Click Reschedule (top-right)

• In the popup:

  • Select Team member (if available)

  • Pick a new date

  • Pick a new time in Date range

  • Click Reschedule to confirm

---

👤 Option 2 — Customer reschedules (from email)

Customers can reschedule directly from their booking email.

How it works

1. Customer opens booking confirmation email

2. Clicks Reschedule appointment button

1. A reschedule widget opens > Customer selects a new available time

1. Click Confirm

The appointment updates automatically.

Important rules

• Customers can only reschedule, not cancel appointments

• Rescheduling depends on slot availability

• Admin will see the updated time in calendar

⏱️ Reschedule time limit: To avoid last-minute changes:

• Customers can reschedule until 1 day before the appointment. Within 24 hours → rescheduling is blocked

• Admin can still reschedule manually if needed

⇒ This ensures merchants have enough preparation time.

💡 What changes after rescheduling?

• The appointment’s start/end time updates.

• The appointment stays linked to the same customer and service.

• If the time slot is not available, you may need to adjust staff availability first.

2. Select Cancel appointment > confirm to cancel again on the popup

What happens when you cancel?
