How do digital signatures work?
This feature allows providers to collect a customer's signature for a booking using the BookingKoala for Providers app.
On the day of the service, customers can sign their name in the provider's app once the job has been completed. This is an especially useful tool to reduce the number of disputed charges for your business.
Once enabled, providers can open the Booking Details page in their app and then click the "Signature" button at the bottom center of the page.
On the digital signature page, the customer can sign their name and then click the "Submit" button to save the signature.
It is possible to revisit the signature page and use the "Reset" button to clear the signature if need be.
Where can admin/staff view the signatures?
To look at signatures that have been collected, the admin and staff can go to:
Bookings > Job History
If a signature has been collected, there will be a "signature icon" on the right side of the row with the rest of the action buttons.
Hover your cursor over the icon to display the signature.
