Cancelling an appointment online

Use the management link from your confirmation screen to cancel in a few taps.

Booking for clients

Cancelling an appointment booked through a 4appointments page takes a few seconds, as long as you kept the management link shown on the screen when you booked. If you did not, the business can cancel it for you.

When you send a booking request on the business’s page, the final screen shows a management link for cancelling or rescheduling. This is the link you need. It is not sent by email, so save it as a note or a screenshot straight away.

Open the link. You will see your appointment and the option to cancel it. Confirm, and the appointment is cancelled, with no account to log in to and no password. The timing you held becomes free for other clients. The business is not sent an automatic message, but it sees the change in the booking list in its panel.

If the booking was entered by the business’s team, or is part of a recurring series, you did not see a confirmation screen, so the team has to send you the link. Ask for it, or ask them to cancel the booking for you. If you cannot find the link, contact the business with the date, timing, service and your name.

The tool applies no cut-off time and no refund rules. Rules about late cancellation or money paid beforehand are the business’s own and are agreed outside the tool, since online payment is not available in the current plans.

Key points

  • ✓No account or password is needed to cancel

Common questions

Can I cancel on the day of the appointment?+

The link itself has no minimum notice. Whether late cancellation has any consequence is up to the business, so check its own rules or get in touch with them.

I have lost my link. What now?+

Contact the business with your name, the service, the date and the timing. Its team can cancel the booking from the panel.
