Setting up a Non-Refundable Rate
You need to have set up a Non-Refundable cancellation policy before you can set up your Non-Refundable Rate. You can do so by following these steps:
- Log in to the extranet
- Click on the Property tab and then on Policies
- In the Cancellation and prepayment policies section, click on Create a new cancellation policy
- Select your cancellation preferences and specify your conditions, then click Save
You can then follow the steps in the next section to add your Non-Refundable Rate. The new rate will appear in your Calendar. If you use a Channel Manager, your provider may require you to take additional steps to map your new rate plan.
You can remove the Non-Refundable cancellation policy by selecting 'Delete' in the same property settings.
