[Booking Engine] How to Create a Custom Cancellation Policy

J
Written by Joelly See Toh

In the AirHost Booking Engine, five cancellation policies are provided as the default policies.

There are five cancellation policies you can set.

Policy Name

Description

Strict

  • 0% cancellation fee if cancel 30 Days before check-in date

  • 100% cancellation fee if cancel less than 29 Days to check-in date

Firm

  • 0% cancellation fee if cancel 30 Days before check-in date

  • 50% cancellation fee if cancel between 14 Days to 29 Days before check-in date

  • 100% cancellation fee if cancel less than 13 Days to check-in date

Moderate

  • 0% cancellation fee if cancel 5 Days before check-in date

  • 100% cancellation fee if cancel less than 4 Days to check-in date

Relaxed

  • 0% cancellation fee if cancel 1 Days before check-in date

  • 100% cancellation fee on check-in day

No_Refund

  • No refunds from the time of booking

If the five default cancellation policies do not meet your requirements, you can also create a custom cancellation policy. Open the “Policies” page and click the “+ Add Policy” button.

Within the pop-up, you can freely set the cancellation period and cancellation fee (%). You can add up to three intermediate rules.

Once the creation is complete, the custom cancellation policy can be selected on the rate plan settings page.

Notes on cancellation policies:

  • If you modify a cancellation policy, bookings that were created more than 4 months ago will follow the latest version of the policy, not the one that was active at the time of booking.

  • Bookings created within the past 4 months will follow the cancellation policy in effect at the time of booking.

  • The booking engine does not provide a setting to waive penalty fees for cancellations made within 24 hours of booking.
