Main Changes

You can now choose which bookings require approval when using booking requests (approval). If you select "Bookings starting in less than the specified time", only bookings made close to the start time wait for host approval, and bookings for later dates and times are confirmed immediately. You no longer need to require approval for every booking just to review last-minute ones.

What's Changed

• In the booking page editor, select "Approval system" under "Booking Request (Approval) System" to choose "Bookings requiring approval": "All bookings" or "Bookings starting in less than the specified time".
• For "Bookings starting in less than the specified time", set the time before start in minutes, hours, or days. For example, with "24 hours", only bookings for times less than 24 hours away wait for approval.
• Whether approval is required is decided when the guest books. Bookings that do not require approval are confirmed like regular bookings, and proceed to payment if card payment is set up.
• Booking pages that already use the approval system stay on "All bookings", so all bookings continue to require approval as before.
