Cancelling bookings
Follow these steps to cancel an existing booking and handle any associated payments.
Step 1: Locate and Cancel the Booking
- Find the booking using one of the following methods:
- Via Reports: Click on Reports in the left-hand menu and click on Booking Report. Search for the relevant booking (e.g., by Pet Owner Name) and click on the Booking Number.
- Via Direct Link: Click on any Booking Number, from the Dashboard (options drop-down on relevant booking) or the Owner Page.
Cancel the booking: Once you are on the booking details screen, click the Cancel Booking button. You will be prompted to charge a cancellation fee if needed.
Step 2: Manage Payments & Refunds
Once the booking is canceled, check the payment status to determine your next steps:
- If the booking is unpaid: No further action is required.
- If the booking has already been paid: The payment will automatically become "unassigned." This unassigned payment remains on the Pet Owner's profile as a credit.
- To keep as a credit: You can manually reassign the unassigned payment to a new booking in the future.
- To issue a refund: You will need to delete the payment record from the system and manually issue the refund to the Pet Owner.
