To avoid canceling transactions and give guests more options, many hosting options allow guests to make a pre-reservation with a valid credit card, and only charge the amount upon arrival of the reservation. Stays also has this feature - enable it using the instructions below:
- Access the [Finance > Auxiliaries > Accounts & Gateways] menu;
- Access or create a Cielo or Pagar.me Payment Channel;
- On the [Service] field, select the [Credit Card] option;
- On the [Do you want to charge the credit card ...] field below, select [No];
- Save changes at the top right of the screen.
The reservation process remains the same for users of your website, so it is important to include this clearly in your business's Terms and Conditions.
