We understand the need for our partners to have more flexible policy settings, especially during peak seasons. Therefore, you can now manage cancellation policies and restrictions for multiple dates in bulk at once using the Bulk Update menu on the Extranet.
How to set cancellation policies using the Bulk Update menu:
- Click the Rates & Availability menu, then select the Bulk Update submenu
- Click on the Cancellation Policy tab
- Enter the start and end dates for the period you want to update in the provided fields at the top of the page
- If the new cancellation policy applies only to specific days, tick the boxes on the left side of the desired days. If the cancellation policy applies to all days, tick all the day boxes
- Select the room type and rate plan you want to update from the dropdown menu, then click the Apply button
- Choose the new cancellation policy you want to implement; either non-refundable or custom. Learn more about the differences between the two options in this article
- If you choose a custom policy, set the cancellation period and the applicable fee for cancellations or no-shows
- Click the Save button in the bottom right corner to save the changes
