How to save card details in case of no-show or late cancelation

  1. Go to your settings part “prepayments and events“;
  2. In the top right corner, click on “create new”;
  3. Write promotion name (recommended to write Late cancellation / no show fee) and description. Promotion name will be visible in your widget and description will be sent to guest with confirmation and reminder emails. In the description field is strongly recommended to write when payment will be charged and the amount, for example:
    In case of no-show or last-minute cancellation, your card will be charged for XX Eur. The restaurant allows to cancel reservations 48 hours before reservation without any charges, between 48 and 24 hours – 50% fee, if less than 24 hours until reservation start time, we will charge 100% reservation fee. We fully understand that there are various situations, please get in touch with us to cancel your reservation as soon as possible by calling +44 ………
    Thanks for your understanding.

  7. Select how many hours before reservation you allow to cancel a reservation online without payment.
