Cancellation and rescheduling window - Zoho Bookings Help

Cancellation and rescheduling window

1. How cancellation and rescheduling window work  

The cancellation and rescheduling window is configured by setting a duration (in hours or days) before the appointment time within which changes are permitted. After this window, customers will no longer be able to cancel or reschedule their appointments. For example, if the window is set to 6 hours, an appointment scheduled for 6:00 PM can only be canceled or rescheduled until 12:00 PM on the same day. After 12:00 PM, the appointment becomes locked for changes.
InfoNote: This setting is applicable only for customers who reschedule/cancel from the booking page. This does not restrict the users from canceling or rescheduling in the Bookings in-app.
