Advances and Balance Schedule for Bridal Makeup Studios

This module records each advance against the booking it secures and sets the balance with its due date. The owner sees which wedding dates are confirmed and which are still waiting for money.

Advances recorded against the booking

A UPI payment arrives with a sender name and little else, and sometimes the sender is an uncle rather than the bride. The desk attaches the payment to the bridal booking, so it shows on the right wedding date.

The advance

Amount, date and mode, whether cash, UPI or bank transfer. Once an advance is entered, the booking changes from held to confirmed on the calendar, and the whole desk can see it.

The balance

What remains is shown on the booking with the date it falls due. Some studios ask for it before the wedding, and others collect it on the morning itself. Both can be set.

Part payments

A family may pay in two or three parts. Each part is listed with its date and mode, and the running balance stays on the booking until it reaches zero.

Cancelled and moved bookings

When a wedding is postponed, the booking moves to the new date and the advance goes with it. A cancellation records what the studio kept and what was returned to the family.

Reminders for the balance

A reminder can go to the bride or her family before the balance falls due, by WhatsApp or SMS. The wording and the number of days before are set with the studio, and each reminder sent is logged on the booking.

How it reaches the invoice

On the day, the invoice takes the advance as already paid and shows the rest to collect. Nothing has to be keyed twice at billing. This saves the desk from hunting through chats.

What the studio decides

Advance amounts, balance dates and cancellation terms belong to the studio and are set the way it takes them today. How an advance appears in the books is for the studio’s accountant to say.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does it collect the money online?

A payment link can be sent through a gateway where the studio opts for one. Whether to use one is confirmed during scoping.

Can the advance differ for each package?

Yes. The advance rule can be set per package or per event type, in the way the studio already quotes.

What shows on the owner’s screen?

Dates held but not paid, dates confirmed, and balances due soon. The owner sees where the season’s money is waiting.

Are refunds handled?

A cancellation records what was kept and what was returned. The refund itself is paid by the studio outside the system.
