Managing Problem Clients

Bloomber helps reduce repeated no-shows and refund abuse with automated flagging plus manual controls.

Automatic Protections

  • No-show tracking with configurable thresholds
  • Late-arrival grace handling to avoid false no-shows
  • Abuse flag detection for repeat patterns
  • Ban enforcement on booking routes

View Abuse Flags

  1. Open Clients and select a client.
  2. Review Abuse Flags and severity.
  3. Resolve or dismiss reviewed flags.

Ban a Client

  1. Open the client profile.
  2. Select Ban client.
  3. Choose permanent or temporary duration.
  4. Save an internal reason.

When a ban is active, booking attempts are blocked.

Unban a Client

  1. Open Banned Clients.
  2. Find the client entry.
  3. Click Unban and confirm.

Process Manual Refunds

  1. Open the affected appointment.
  2. Select Issue refund.
  3. Choose full or partial amount.
  4. Provide reason and category.
  5. Submit to process via Stripe.

Best Practices

  • Use notes with clear, factual reasons.
  • Prefer temporary bans for first-time incidents.
  • Escalate repeated abuse to permanent ban after review.
