Both Users and Customers can cancel and reschedule booking made via OnceHub. You can set the Customer cancellation and reschedule policies that apply to bookings with an activity status of Scheduled and Rescheduled.
The Customer Cancel/reschedule policy
OnceHub allows you to set up independent cancellation and reschedule policies that are fully configurable. The policies allow you to specify the exact rules for when Customers are allowed to cancel or reschedule. Customers are always subject to the Customer Cancel/reschedule policy, with the exception canceling or rescheduling booking requests which have not yet been approved.
Users are not subject to the Customer cancellation and reschedule policy and can always cancel, request reschedule, or request new times directly from the Activity stream.
NoteYou can cancel or reschedule directly from your calendar if you OnceHub account is connected to Google Calendar and Exchange/Outlook Calendar.
Customer actions
When a Customer cancels or reschedules a booking, OnceHub tracks the changes in the Activity stream. The Customer, Booking page Owner, and any additional stakeholders are all immediately notified.
To cancel or reschedule, Customers click the Cancel/reschedule link in the scheduling confirmation email or calendar event. This will take them to the same Booking page or Master page where the booking was originally made.
On the Customer Cancel/reschedule page, the Customer can cancel or resubmit a booking request, cancel or reschedule a single booking, or cancel or reschedule one or more sessions in a Session package.
Customer action: Cancel/reschedule a single booking
To cancel a single booking or reschedule a single booking, the Customer uses the Cancel tab or Reschedule tab on the Cancel/reschedule page.

Note
When you use Payment integration, you can charge Customers a reschedule fee when they reschedule one or more sessions in a package. This enables you to generate an additional revenue stream and reduces unnecessary rescheduling activity. The Reschedule fee amount is always relative to the number of sessions included in the Session package.
Customer action: Cancel/resubmit a Booking request
Booking requests that are not yet scheduled are not subject to the Customer cancel/reschedule policy. The Customer can cancel or reschedule a booking request any time before it is approved.
To cancel or request new times, the Customer simply clicks Cancel the booking request or Reschedule the booking request on the Cancel/reschedule page.

If you request a reschedule with any Event type, the original booking is canceled and refunded. The Customer will be asked to pay the full Event type price when rescheduling with the new Event type, as if it was a new booking.
