In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a manual booking for your products for orders that may come in via the phone or in person.
1. Go to the Calendar page in the Book That App admin.
2. Click on the button called "Create Booking" in the top left hand part of the page.
3. Enter customercontact details
4. Select product and/or variants
5. Enter date and time of the booking. (Note: If you are booking an event, class or appointment, the manual booking must match the date/time of the scheduled event, class or appointment. ie. If you have a class from 9-10 am on Jan 1, then the start date/time is 9:00 am / Jan 1 and the end date/time is 10:00 am / Jan 1.
6. Hit Save

Does this just allow you to book manually or are you able to pay for the booking manually too with the customer's credit card info?
This only creates a booking. Payment is managed by Shopify so you would need to use their manual order process.

I am planning on using only the manual booking form from the back-end, and taking payments elsewhere (not through shopify). However in my test runs it's letting me double-book a product with a variant capacity set to 1. Is that because the first booking was not set to confirmed as no payment was made through shopify? Basically I need to be able to use the form to take and reserve bookings only, and make sure i cant double book a variant. Should it not show up in the calendar with dates blacked out once it's reserved? It's showing up on the calendar, but still allowing me to book the same variant mulitple times for those dates :(

If the app is allowing a double booking then you have either installed the app incorrectly or the manual booking has the incorrect date and time. If you can please create a ticket and provide details including your shop URL, the storefront password (if any) and a link to the booking in question.
