  2. Click Checkout
  3. Select the appointment(s), and add any other Services or Memberships
  4. Click Continue To Payment
  5. Select the Pata Card Reader option
  6. Click Complete Sale


Create a Sale

  1. Create Sale via either:
    • The Client list by clicking on the Client icon on the side menu
      • Select the Client and click Sales > New Sale
    • Or, The Sales section by clicking on the Sales icon on the side menu
      • On the Sales menu, click New Sale
  2. Select the Client and click Continue
  3. Select an Appointment, or add Services or Memberships
  4. Click Continue To Payment
  5. Select the Pata Card Reader option
