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:

  1. Refundable
  2. 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

Refundable

To create a refundable cancellation policy, set the switch to ✅ on when asked if the policy is refundable.

Options

You can optionally configure your refundable policy further for greater control.

  • How long, prior to arrival, can the guest cancel free of charge? By default, a refundable policy is always 100% refundable. You can fine-tune the deadline here. e.g. 3 days prior to arrival
  • What should the guest be charged if the cancellation occurs after the deadline above? If you fine-tuned the deadline, you can set the amount the guest pays after the deadline. e.g. 50% of the total price
  • How much should the guest be charged for a ‘No show? In case the guest does not show up, you can set the amount the guest is charged for a No show. e.g. 100% of the total price
