Payment Schedules (Variation)

I saw the earlier post on payments but some of the dates are pretty old. My question is as follows: I have folks book 12 months in advance but I take the first payment 6 months in advance and the final payment 30 days in advance. Is there any flexibility to control the date of the first payment? Payment on confirmation seems to be the only rule that is possible.

Right now you've got to take something during the booking process to validate the card and put it on file. My suggestion would be to make the first payment small, like $10. Then once the booking is made it'll get the 30 day remaining balance payment due scheduled automatically. You can then go in and schedule the intermediate 6 months in advance payment.

We are working on a more generic payment schedule that'll let you take more than two payments or delay the first payment, but I don't have an ETA on it yet.

Thanks for update. This seems a very worthy update, particularly for repeat guests and reservations scheduled well in advance. Much appreciated.

Any update on this topic Chris?

I am in the same boat, getting guests to rebook upon departure, but I wont collect the first payment till December 1st.

Any flexibility in scheduling payments or making the first one $0, for guests who rebook right away?

It will make my life much easier when you guys roll this out. I know it's been in the works for a while. Any update on am ETA?

I'm in the same boat. My policy is $300 deposit upon booking. 50% 6 months out and the remainder 60 days prior to arrival. New to Ownerrez and like it, but if this can't be set up I may have to look elsewhere.
