Set up prepayment rules for your online reservations, whether for larger groups or individual guests. You can choose whether or not these reservations are approved automatically.
Whether using automatic or manual approvals, guest payment details are collected at checkout:
- Automatic approval: The guest is charged immediately after submitting the request.
- Manual approval: You collect the guest’s payment details at checkout but choose when to charge them (e.g. after reviewing and approving the request).
