# Take a test booking

> Book something yourself from your booking page to see what customers see, then tidy up.

Checked 8 November 2026 · https://docs.seascape.bz/getting-started/take-a-test-booking

Before you share your booking link, book something yourself, the way a customer would. It is the only way to see what they see: the activities on offer, the deposit asked for, the waiver, and the emails.

- Put a trip on the calendar for an activity with **Bookable online** switched on, and leave **Visible on booking page** on for the trip.
- Open your booking page, seascape.bz/book/ followed by your booking URL. **Settings** → **Booking page and embed** has the link, under **Direct Link**.
- Book with your own name and email, and sign the waiver.
- Check your inbox for the confirmation, then find the booking under **Reservations**.

About paying: Choose **Pay at the desk** if it is offered: nothing is charged. A card payment is real money, charged in Belize dollars, so if you pay by card, refund it afterwards from the booking. If you stop at the bank's page without paying, the seat is held for 30 minutes, then the booking cancels itself and you get an email saying so.

Tidy up by cancelling the booking: open it, cancel, and answer **Who cancelled?** with **We did**.
