What this is for. Four short missions take you from no trips at all to a boat with paid divers on it. You set the trip up once, your staff sell seats from the register, and every seat lands on that date's manifest with what the diver has paid. Most shops finish in about half an hour.

Before you start

A trip is what you sell, like a two-tank reef dive. A departure is one date it runs. You sell seats on a departure, and each seat is one diver.

The owner or a General Manager adds trips in Trips. Anyone at the register can sell seats. Card payments need Stripe or Square connected (Get paid), but cash and checks work without either.
