There’s no separate test mode for the payment solution as such. Once activated, the payment solution is ready to use right away, and if you’ve set up prepayments, clients making new online bookings are automatically directed to pay.
How Can You Review the Process Before Opening It Up to Clients?
We recommend making a test booking at your own salon so you can see the entire process exactly as a client would, from booking through to payment.
Step-by-step guide:
- Open your online booking link
- Choose a category, service, staff member, and a time that works
- Enter your own details for testing
- Complete the booking
- Review the entire prepayment and payment process
This lets you check, before opening things up to real clients, that:
• the prepayment logic works correctly
• the terms and wording are clear to clients
• the payment process matches what you expect for your salon
We also recommend watching the recording of the SalonLife payment solution webinar, which walks through step by step:
• how the payment solution works
• what the client’s view looks like
• which settings you can use

TIP:
Once you’ve checked everything, you can simply delete or cancel the test booking from the calendar. This lets you safely try out the whole process before clients start using the system.
