Custom Cancellation Policies<\/h3>\n

In an effort to support property managers who manage properties in multiple locations, we’ve gone ahead and coded the ability to define different cancellation policies PER PROPERTY.<\/p>\n

Current Way of Doing Things<\/strong><\/p>\n

Previously, there was only the ability to enter a description of your cancellation policy within the Settings > Important Settings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The policy was universal and would be displayed within your website and could be referenced via a merge tag when communicating with guests.<\/p>\n

New Way of Doing Things<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going forward the cancellation policy will need to be setup and assigned to properties within Settings > Policies and Amenities.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Within Policies and Amenities<\/strong><\/em> there is a default cancellation policy that should be edited to reflect the cancellation policy that exists for the majority of all properties.<\/p>\n

The descriptive text for the default policy will be blank unless there was existing text present within Settings > Important settings.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Please note that a cancellation fee can now be defined.  The cancellation fee is a fee that will be assessed for any cancellation, regardless of when the cancellation occurs. It can be set to zero.<\/p>\n

Refunds can now set up according to a schedule that will allow the refund amount due to be calculated when a cancellation occurs.  Any amounts to be retained (greater than the defined cancellation fee) will be calculated and appended to the cancellation fee.<\/p>\n

Just as with other policies in that interface, such as pets, children, smoking, etc..  additional cancellation policies can be defined and assigned to different properties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
