Manual Payments

Record cash and bank transfer payments directly in Aestheticc without going through Stripe. These appear in the client's full payment history alongside card payments.

---

When to Use This

• Client pays cash at the appointment
• Client pays via bank transfer and you want it tracked
• Any payment collected outside the app that you want in the client record

---

What You Can Record

| Method | Notes | |--------|-------| | Cash | Amount, optional notes | | Bank transfer | Amount, reference number, optional notes | | Other | For any other offline method |

You can optionally link a manual payment to a specific appointment, which updates the appointment's payment balance.

Duplicate Prevention

If you submit the same amount for the same client twice within 60 seconds, the second request is blocked with a DUPLICATE_PAYMENT error. This prevents accidental double-recording from a slow connection or double-tap. If the payment is genuinely a separate transaction, wait 60 seconds and record again.

---

Fees

No platform fee is charged on manual payments. They are record-keeping only — no money moves through Aestheticc.

---

Payment History

Manual payments are marked with the payment method (Cash, Bank Transfer, etc.) and appear in the client's payment timeline. They are included in reporting alongside Stripe payments.

---

Refunds

Manual payments cannot be refunded through the Aestheticc refund flow — they were not processed through Stripe. Record any adjustments manually.
