Every proposal and booking in Check Cherry has a status that shows you where things stand — from initial quote to completed event. Understanding these statuses helps you manage your pipeline and know what needs your attention.
The easiest way for clients to sign and pay — besides online booking — is to send them a proposal. This lets them review, sign, and pay in one flow without needing to log in to an account.
Proposal Statuses
Proposals are quotes you send to potential clients. The status tells you whether the date is available to others or held for this client.
- Proposal Date Open: A quote sent without reserving the date. Your availability stays open — other clients can still book the same date and time.
- Proposal Date Reserved: A quote with the date held exclusively. No one else can book that slot until the proposal expires or is declined.
- Proposal Awaiting Review: Created when you have a package set to "Request for Proposal." When someone books this type of package online, it creates a proposal for you to review and approve before sending to the client.
Booking Statuses
Once a client moves forward, the proposal becomes a booking with these possible statuses:
- Confirmed Awaiting Signature: You've manually marked this as confirmed to block the date, which triggers automated signature reminders. The client will need to log in to their account to sign.
- Confirmed: The client has signed the contract and typically paid the deposit. This status is set automatically when they complete the signing process, or you can set it manually when creating a booking.
You can change the status of any booking or proposal by clicking the status button shown in the image above.
