Restrictions
Advance booking:
You can set the minimum and maximum advance time required to book the service.
To set the maximum advance time, the reservation date is used as the reference and is defined in days.
The minimum advance time is defined in minutes and can be set taking as reference the opening time of the service or the time at which the customer wants to book the service.
Restrictions per day:
There are 2 options to restrict the daily reservations made by customers:
- Maximum number of people per reservation: you set the limit of people per reservation based on the number of guests in the room or a specific number of people.
- Maximum number of reservations per room: you define the maximum daily limit of reservations per room.
Do not forget to turn on the Activated button next to each option if you want to apply the restriction.
Restrictions per length of stay:
You can set the maximum number of reservations per room based on the length of stay. To do so, enter the maximum number of reservations in each box where the length of stay is indicated.
Bookings from visitors:
You can set whether you want to allow or not this service to be bookable for customers not staying at the property or associated properties.
By enabling this option, you can choose the channel through which these bookings are supported: internal or app.
External bookings:
You can set whether you want to allow or not this service to be bookable for customers staying at associated or nearby properties. To activate this option and choose which properties you give this permission to, you need to contact the STAY team.
*If you want to apply the same set of restrictions to several services, turn on the Activate restrictions for multiple services button (top of this screen) for all the services to which it applied. This way you will only have to define the restrictions once.
