thanks ??

Could you please clarify the status of the booking just before the click on the cancellation link?

Basically, in the first email (in the video) the admin approved the booking. The client receives the confirmation only after approval. I clicked the link sent to the admin (admin approval), and then in the backend, the status changed to “approved” from “waiting approval” in the Bookings section.

After that, the client (me :)) received the confirmation, but I couldn’t cancel it.

The default booking status is: “Awaiting approval” (booking rules)

I don’t know if it helps at all, but in the email sent to the admin with the admin-cancel-link, as an admin I CAN cancel the booking from the email, however, from the email sent to the client, I can’t.

And the links in the emails have 2 different numbers. Shouldn’t be the same?

admin link for the same appointment:
https://bbreform.hu/reform-idopontfoglalas/ipf-megerosites/?admin_cancel=655617590ee39

client link:
https://bbreform.hu/reform-idopontfoglalas/ipf-megerosites/?cancelation=655617590ee36

I understand that it should be different, but the code part, too?:
655617590ee39 (admin) and 655617590ee36 (client)

Please, let me know the value of the following option:

SETTINGS – Booking rules – Advanced settings – Cancellation buffer

Oh, got you… 1440 mins, so it means 24hrs.

So if I client books a slot for “today”, it means they can’t cancel it, unless the buffer time is less than approx. 1hr, right?

YES, I just checked it. But in this case, the “no bookings for payment” message is misleading (that is why I don’t understand). It should say something like “Bookings can be canceled X mins before…” like we have an option for already paid bookings that cannot be canceled.

And this type of message exists in the Wording section: “Sorry, you cannot cancel the reservation because you have exceeded the cancellation time allowed for this.” – but I (as a client) don’t get this message, but the “no available payment for booking” message.

That seems to be a bug – error messages messed up. We will check out and fix in the next release.

Thanks so much ??

Kind regards
Gabe
