Cancellation Policy for Classes

MyTime enables you to establish a cancellation policy to regulate when clients can cancel their class bookings. Additionally, you have the option to implement a cancellation fee if clients fail to comply with your policy.

Things to know:

• Class cancellation policies configured at the parent level can only be edited at the parent level
• Once you set up a cancellation policy, it applies to both new and existing client bookings
• The cancellation window can be in hours or days 
• The cancellation fee will only be charged if the client cancels within the cancellation window. For example, the cancellation fee will be charged if the cancellation window is set to 2 hours, and a client cancels their class booking within 2 hours or less of the class's start time. A client who cancels within 2 hours and 15 minutes will not be charged the cancellation fee.  
• Employees are not paid commission on cancellation fees

Configure Cancellation Policy

To configure a cancellation policy directly from the classes page:

1. Navigate to Business Setup > Classes
2. Select "Edit" next to the class you want to adjust the cancellation policy for
3. Locate the cancellation policy at the bottom of the class modal
4. Set up your cancellation policy according to your preferences, allowing clients to cancel up until the class session starts or by specifying a custom time frame for cancellations.
   If the 'Custom' option is selected, and a value is added, the "If A Client Fails To Cancel In Advance Should MyTime Charge Them?" setting will appear. When toggled to 'Yes', you can configure how MyTime should handle charges for late cancellations. You can choose to charge clients the full amount for the class/event, a percentage of the class/event value, or a flat fee
5. Save

The cancellation policy will now be visible to your clients on the checkout page of your booking widget.
