Custom cancellation policies

When the presets don't fit, here's how to define your own.

If the three presets don't fit your business, define a custom policy. Common reasons: graduated refund tiers, specific cutoffs, non-refundable deposits.

Set up a custom policy

  1. Open Settings → Cancellation policies →

    New policy

    .

  2. Name it.

  3. Add refund tiers, each with: time-before-arrival and refund percentage.

  4. Set whether the deposit is refundable.

  5. Save and assign to listings.

Example custom policy

  • 60+ days: 100% refund.

  • 30–60 days: 75% refund.

  • 14–30 days: 50% refund.

  • < 14 days: no refund.

  • Deposit non-refundable.

Tips

  • Custom policies must still be shown to guests at checkout in clear plain language. Don't hide complexity in fine print.
