Reservation status
“In checkout” is not a reservation status. On the Host Timeline it marks
places held for a guest who is paying online right now; it becomes a
reservation if they finish, or disappears within about 12 minutes if they do
not.
What do the colours and the small circle on a status badge mean?
The colour says where the party is: Pending payment yellow, Confirmed grey (the ordinary state of an upcoming reservation wears no colour), Checked in blue, Partial check-in yellow, Seated green, Completed grey, No-show orange and Cancelled red. The small circle in front tells the arrival story: an empty circle for a party still to come (Confirmed or Pending payment), a half-filled circle when only part of the party is here (Partial check-in, or Seated with guests missing), and a full circle when everyone is here. Completed, No-show and Cancelled carry no circle. See also: Running service with the Host viewWhat does “Pending payment” mean?
“Pending payment” means a guest placed an online order but Shopify has not marked it paid yet, usually because they chose a bank transfer or a manual payment method. The reservation is real and holds its place. It turns into Confirmed by itself when Shopify marks the order paid, or you can press Confirm yourself if you are happy to hold it anyway.

“Confirmed” means the reservation is booked and the party has not arrived yet. Every upcoming reservation reads Confirmed, including charge-later ones whose card will be charged later. The badge is plain grey with an empty circle on purpose: it is the expected state, so it wears no colour. The next step is Check in when they arrive.What does “Partial check-in” mean?
“Partial check-in” is a Checked in party where only some of the guests are here yet — a host chose Partial check-in… (from the arrow on Check in in the admin, or the button beside Check in on the iPad), or lowered the count afterwards with Edit guests here. The badge is yellow with a half-filled circle; All here turns it back into Checked in (blue, full circle). A seated party keeps the word Seated with the half circle. Nothing about the money or the party size changes. See also: Running service with the Host viewWhat does “Checked in” mean?
“Checked in” means the party has arrived and someone checked them in. The party moves to On property on the Host page. Checking in also charges a saved card that is still waiting for its charge date, except on an experience charged At the visit, whose card waits until the visit is closed out. The badge is blue with a full circle. From here you can Seat them or Complete the visit. A check-in pressed by mistake can be taken back with Undo check-in, unless it already charged the guest’s saved card or marked the reservation’s order fulfilled.

“Seated” means the party has sat down. It is a step in the visit, not a table choice — choosing a table happens separately. The step forward is Complete, and if nobody presses it Riserva ends the visit by itself when your Ending visits setting says. Unseat takes a Seat pressed by mistake back to Checked in.What does “Completed” mean?
“Completed” means the visit is over. Either someone pressed Complete, or Riserva ended the visit by itself after its end time; the reservation’s timeline says which. A completed reservation can still take a payment link for money that is owed.What does “No-show” mean?
“No-show” means the party never came. Either someone marked it, or your store marks no-shows by itself (Settings → Reservations → No-shows: a set time after the reservation, or at the end of the day) and the party never checked in — the reservation’s timeline says which. The guest is not emailed and nothing is charged automatically; a balance that is owed can still be collected with a payment link. If the guest turns up after all, Undo no-show (on the reservation’s page, or in the Done tab of the Reservations tile in Shopify POS) puts it back to Confirmed, or Pending payment, ready to check in.

“Cancelled” means the reservation was cancelled by your team, by the guest online, or because its Shopify order was cancelled. Its places are back on sale straight away. Cancelled reservations are never deleted: they stay in the Cancelled tab of the reservations list and in reports. See also: Cancellations and refundsPayment state
Card on file, Charge scheduled, Charging and Charge failed appear only when
charge-later payment is turned on for your store. Refunded and
Partially refunded appear on the reservation’s Payment card in place of
the state’s own badge.
