Cancellation Policies
To manage your Cancellation policies, click on Monetize > Cancellation policies
from the top navigation bar.
Cancellation policies determine how booker funds are handled in case the guest cannot make it. Cancellation policies come in two distinct flavors:
- Refundable
- Non-refundable
Most of the time, these two optons are enough. However, both give you a lot of room to customize your cancelation policy further.
To create a cancellation policy, click the Create a new cancellation policy
button.
Non-refundable
To create a non-refundable cancellation policy, set the switch to 🛑 off when asked if the policy is refundable.
Options
You can optionally configure your non-refundable
policy further for greater control.
- How much is the guest charged for a cancellation? By default, a non-refundable policy is a 100% non-refundable policy. You can fine-tune the amount here. e.g. 50% of total price
- Does the charge have a deadline? If you fine-tuned the amount, you can fine tune it further by setting how long that amount stays in effect. e.g. Until 3 days prior to arrival
- How much is the guest charged for a cancellation after the deadline? In case the guest goes past the deadline set above, you can set the amount the guest pays after the deadline. e.g. 70% of the total price
