Capability
An option at checkout that lets a guest protect their booking, which softens the revenue hit when a cancellation lands late.
The guest sees the option at checkout and decides. Taking it puts a protected status on the reservation, which changes what happens when a cancellation arrives inside your notice window.
The slot re-opens for sale the moment the cancellation is processed, so a protected cancellation and a re-booking can both happen on the same afternoon.
There is no third-party product to administer and no separate portal for your staff to learn.
Guest pays$235.13
Payout$225.00
The fee is added at checkout and paid by your customer, so the payout is your list price.
The choice between refunding a guest you want back and keeping money for a slot you cannot re-sell.
The number to watch is revenue retained on cancellations inside the notice window.
This softens cancellation losses. It is not travel insurance, it does not cover a guest's wider trip, and terms sit with you rather than with an underwriter.
Every capability page on this site carries a section like this one. Why that is.
An option at checkout that lets a guest protect their booking, which softens the revenue hit when a cancellation lands late.
Bodhisys handles it as part of the platform rather than as a paid module or a partner integration. There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.
No. It is a protection option on the booking, administered inside the platform rather than by a third party.
You do. The notice window and what protection covers are your policy.
Yes, as soon as the cancellation is processed.
The same capability behaves differently by category. These are the per-industry versions.
