Managing Scheduled Reservation Payments

For payments created through your Auto Payment settings, you can:

  • Charge Now – Attempt to collect the payment immediately.

  • Change Amount – Reduce the scheduled payment amount. You cannot increase it.

  • Mark as Paid – Use this if you received the payment outside ChargeAutomation, such as through a bank transfer.

  • Void – Cancel the scheduled payment.

  • Change Date – Click the pencil icon to edit the scheduled payment date.


Managing Security Deposits

For security deposits created through your Auto Payment settings, you can:

  • Authorize Now – Attempt to authorize the security deposit immediately.

  • Change Amount – Increase or decrease the security deposit amount.

  • Void Security Deposit – Cancel the scheduled security deposit authorization.


Adding an Additional Charge

Click on the plus (+) sign under Payment Schedule within the booking OR click Addtional Charge under Payment Summary.

Enter the Amount to charge and a short Description. Then select the schedule charge date & time.

Chargeback Protection

You can also enable Chargeback Protection to help protect your payment from fraudulent activities.
