With Appointedd, you can choose how and when you want customers to make bookings with you and how and when you want your customers to cancel their bookings with you.
Your booking policies allow you to control how much notice you require for a booking, how much notice you require for a cancellation, and how far in advance someone can book with you. Find out more about booking policies here.
π΄ How can a customer cancel a booking?
A customer can cancel a booking in one place:
1. The booking confirmation email. Whether the customer makes the booking online or you make the booking internally, the customer can cancel their upcoming booking from the booking confirmation email.
To cancel a booking, the timing must satisfy the cancelation notice period requirements set out in your booking policies.
