Creating Reservation Deposit Rules

Deposit Rules provide a way to manage the advance deposits guests make prior to their stays. They specify deposit amounts or percentages and when deposits must be paid.

8. Enter a number of days in the Before Arrival and/or After Booking fields. This indicates when the deposit is due.
