Can reminder emails which are sent to clients / customers be personalized?
Yes they can. There are two new templates created in the Plugin settings for the Booking Calendar which you can use to customize the email templates. One for finalizing the booking and one for informing the client that their booking was deleted.

If a customer does not finish a payment, how much time passes before they receive the reminder email?
That’s up to you. You can configure how much time should pass before the reminder email is sent out. This is set in hours in the Payment Options within the plugin settings.

When I enable moderation how does it work in conjunction with the payments add-on?
If you have moderation enabled then moderation comes before payment. The visitor making the appointment will first Need to gain admin approval and second Have to pay for the appointment.
Putting the approval step before the payments step cuts down on the number of refunds that need to be given out to customers who pay but aren’t eligible for appointments.
