What is a Flexible Reservation?

A Flexible Reservation allows for an open-ended stay with a "To Be Determined" (TBD) check-out date, ideal for guests unsure about the length of their stay. These reservations require setting up a Recurring Invoice Schedule to ensure seamless monthly billing.

  5. Enter all customer information and click 'Proceed to Payment Schedule'.
  6. Select a Billing Start Date and Billing Day
  7. Click 'Add Line Item'
  8. Enter your monthly price, and tax rate.  Here you can also add any other items or fees that will be included on every invoice, such as a monthly electric deposit or internet bill. 
  9. Click 'Proceed to First Payment'
  10. Choose if you will take payment for the first invoice now, or click 'Pay Later' and send the first invoice to the guest.
  11. Select either 'Pay & Complete' or 'Complete Reservation'.
  12. Flexible Reservations will automatically block the site on the calendar until a check-out date is specified, or by default until the year 2099 (😮)
