# Processing Online Bookings
**Summary: This article provides instructions on how to process online bookings.**
Once the user has successfully booked a unit from the website portal, a booking entry will be created in the system with Pending status (see Booking Phases above).
**To process a pending booking entry:**
1. In the list of bookings page, select a booking entry and click **View**.
2. If the booking entry will be modified, click **Edit Booking**, otherwise proceed to the next step. See next section for adding additional reservations, addons, and fees.
3. To approve booking, click the **Approve Booking** button.
4. To request payment, click the **For Payment** button, otherwise, click the **Cancel Booking** button.
5. The booking status will be changed to either **For Payment** status if confirmed or **Cancelled** status if cancelled.
6. Once confirmed, a billing entry will be created in the Bills section with Pending status, and a payment entry in the Payments section with pending status.[](https://wiki.onlinedooze.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-04/image-1649740819181.png)
7. Once payment has been settled by the user, the booking entry status will change from **FOR PAYMENT** to **FULLY PAID or PARTIALLY PAID**. This will also change the status of the bill from **pending** to **completed** and the status of the payment from **unprocessed** to **completed**.
8. To add a user payment manually, click the **Add Payment** button. To cancel the bill, click the **Cancel Bill** button.
