How to Build Appointment Cancellation Into Your Website

Cancellation should be easy for customers but secure.

The Flow

3. System finds appointment
4. Customer confirms cancellation
5. System cancels appointment
6. Customer receives confirmation

Confirmation

Show appointment details and ask for explicit confirmation.

Optionally ask for cancellation reason.

Canceling

Post-Cancellation
