  2. Use the search bar to find the customer or booking reference.
  3. Click the booking, then select View booking

    1. Cancel the booking - completely cancel the booking and send confirmation.

⚠️ Warning: Once cancelled, the booking will be removed from active bookings.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Can a customer modify or cancel their own booking?
Yes, if your Booking Preferences allow changes within a certain timeframe. Customers can modify or cancel their booking via the Manage Booking link in their confirmation email.
Can I restore a cancelled booking?
Yes, use the Reinstate Booking option if the cancellation placeholder is still visible in the calendar.
Will customers be notified of the cancellation?
You have the option to send a notification either via email or SMS when cancelling a booking. Alternatively, you may also prefer not to send a notification, which is also possible.
What happens if I cancel a booking with a payment?

Refunds are not processed automatically when a booking is cancelled. If a customer is eligible for a refund, you will need to manually process it through your payment gateway.
