Updating the Total Owed and Total Paid for a Reservation

Learn how to update the total owed and paid for reservations in the newest version of Park.

The most recent update to Park has removed the ability to directly edit the Total Owed and Total Paid fields on a reservation. While this may seem like a big change, it allows for more accurate record-keeping and stronger financial reporting.

But don’t worry—you can still fully manage what a guest owes and what they’ve paid. This guide walks you through how to adjust invoice totals, take payments, and issue refunds.

🧾 How to Edit the Total Owed

  1. Open the reservation
  1. Scroll to the Invoice section and click “Edit Invoice”

You’ll see a detailed breakdown of all charges. Here’s how to adjust it:

✏️ Update or remove line items:

  • The reservation (first line item) can be overridden to offer a custom rate
  • Fees for pets, extra guests, weekends, etc., appear separately and can be edited or removed

➕ Add new charges:

  • Click “Add Item” to create a custom charge (set your own name, price, and quantity)
  • Or select from your Store Items in the dropdown
💡 Want to add new store items?
  1. Click Save to apply your changes
    1. You'll see the Total Owed update automatically based on your invoice edits.


💳 How to Update the Total Paid

Option 1: Take a Payment

  • Click “Take Payment” on the reservation
  • You can:
    • Add store items at this stage if needed
    • Use any payment method (card, cash, terminal, etc.)
    • Accept partial payments if needed

Option 2: Mark as Paid

If you're logging an offline payment or just marking it as handled:

  • Click “Mark Paid” or right-click the reservation in the calendar and select “Mark as Paid”
  • This logs a full offline payment for the current total

🔁 How to Refund or Remove a Payment

🔄 Issue a Refund:

  • All payments appear in the Payment History
  • Click “Refund” to open the refund window
    • Issue a full or partial refund
    • Choose a refund reason for internal tracking
❗ Refunds do not reduce the "Total Paid" field. Instead, they are logged in a new “Total Refunded” field.

❌ Remove a Payment:

  • Use the “Remove” button next to an offline payment in the history
  • This deletes the payment and resets the reservation to unpaid, allowing you to take a new payment
