What is Pay Ahead? 

Pay Ahead is a feature that allows your customers to pay online. When the customer is sent the 'Ready for Pickup' text it will include a link to a checkout page. This page will outline their services, taxes, and any discounts or deposits. It also allows your customers to use other payment methods as well, such as Google Pay or Apple Pay.
