A purchase flow defines how you bill users when they create a booking in the members portal (or by using the public calendar page) or purchase an item in the shop. Click here to learn more.
Note: If a product requires approval, it cannot be purchased directly before an admin confirms the request. That is why products and bookings that require approval will not follow the Purchase Flow rules. In such cases, the services must be approved and invoiced manually to be charged.
