One bill for several appointments
A mother paying for herself and her two daughters shouldn't be three separate checkouts. Put every visit on one bill and take the money once.

Families don't pay one at a time. Neither should the till.
Start the checkout from whoever is paying — open their appointment and press Check out as normal. Then, in the cart, use the fourth add button: Appointment.
Adding the others
The list shows every appointment that's still unpaid today at this location, whoever it belongs to, reading like the grid does: the time, the client, and what they had.
Pick one and its services drop onto the bill at the prices those clients were quoted, each still attributed to the stylist who did the work — so combining the payment never quietly moves someone's commission. Lines that came from somebody else's appointment carry their name, so the bill reads Full Colour, Blowout — Ava, Blowout — Zoe rather than three anonymous entries.
Above the cart you'll see Covers 3 appointments with a chip for each visit, so there's no doubt about what this one payment is settling.
What happens when it's paid
The finished visits complete themselves, exactly as they would on a single checkout. The one exception is deliberate: a visit that's still in progress stays in progress. If Mum pays while her daughter is still having her colour finished, that appointment carries on saying In service on the calendar — because she is, in fact, still in the chair — and the stylist presses Complete when they're actually done. It's already paid for; the panel shows View sale rather than asking anyone to check out again.
If you get it wrong
Void the sale and start over. Voiding releases every appointment it was covering, so each one is checkable-out again from its own panel. Nothing gets stuck half-paid because you grabbed the wrong Ava.
Common questions
Do the appointments have to be for the same person?
No — that's the whole point. Any client's appointment can go on anyone else's bill. The sale stays under the person actually paying, which is what you want on the receipt and in their spending history.
Which appointments can I add?
Same day, same location, and not already being paid for somewhere else. If the list looks emptier than you expected, it's usually because someone has already opened a checkout for that client.
One of them is still having their hair done. Can I still take the money?
Yes. Paying doesn't rush anybody out of the chair — a visit that's still In service stays In service on the calendar, and the stylist finishes and presses Complete as usual. There's nothing left to pay by then.
How do I tell whose service is whose on the bill?
Every line from someone else's appointment carries their first name — Blowout — Ava. The receipt reads like a family bill rather than an unexplained list of four haircuts.
I added the wrong appointment. How do I undo it?
Void the sale from the cart and start again. Voiding hands every appointment back, so each one can be checked out properly — nothing is stranded.
