How to: Accept or Reject Online Reservations.
Accept and Confirm

Accept and Don't Confirm
This means that the reservation is good to go, but you want to require a future confirmation from the customer. This means that it will show up in the Unconfirmed section 7 days before the pet is expected to check-in. The purpose of this is to hold the spot on the calendar, but allow the business to confirm the reservation with the customer closer to the reservation date.

Add to Wait List
If you need to, you can add the reservation request to the waitlist.
You can choose to allow customers to add their reservation to the Wait List from the customer portal if your facility is at capacity for the requested date(s). To configure, navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Customer Interaction Settings and turn on the Allow customers add to wait list setting.
You can also send customers an automated email or SMS when their reservation has been added to the waitlist.
- To configure email, navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » System Email and turn on the NEw Wait List Reservation Email.
-
New Wait List SMS.
Reject
If you would like to reject the reservation for any reason, you can do that here. A window will pop up asking you to provide a reason for rejecting the reservation.
You can also automatically email the customer when you reject their reservation. To configure this, navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » System Email and enable the Reservation Rejection Email.
