How do I check out a walk-in client (no appointment)?
The register's Walk-in button covers notes, quotes, and optional booking for a walk-in client, all the way through to checkout.
Updated on July 3, 2026
From the register, tap the Walk-in button (the dashed tile in the grid). A multi-step flow guides you through: project notes, quote, then a booking if needed. You can skip the optional steps and check out directly.
Why this flow exists
A client who shows up without an appointment has no project record and no booked slot. The walk-in button creates these on the fly, so you never have to leave the register to go create an appointment or a project elsewhere in the app.
The steps of the walk-in flow
- Project notes. Body area, brief, reference images if you want to keep them for the client record. This step is optional, you can skip it.
- Quote. Price, estimated duration, an optional deposit, number of sessions if the project spans several appointments. A quote signature is possible here if you want to formalize it right away.
- Booking (optional). If the client leaves with a booked slot, choose it here. If checkout happens on the spot, right now, you can skip this step.
On confirmation, the project (and the appointment, if any) are created server-side and automatically linked to the register's cart, ready to check out.
Create a project directly from the cart
A shorter variant exists if you're already building a cart and just want to attach a new project without going through the full walk-in flow: the same notes and quote steps apply, without the booking step.
Edge cases
The client doesn't have a record yet. Create one in a few fields directly from the client step at the register, before or during the walk-in flow.
The tattoo requires consent. The health questionnaire and signature still need to be validated before final checkout, just like for a regular appointment.
You just want to sell a flash with no project file. No need to go through the walk-in flow: add the flash directly to the cart from the grid and check out as usual.
The quote is rejected on validation. Check the price (above 0.01 EUR) and the duration (at least 15 minutes): those are the only input constraints on the walk-in quote.
