Improvements for unpaid bookings

2 points.
1st: booking that guest didnt complete payment, and now there is a booking draft that expires after a day, should not show as canceled to the host account - bookings page when expired (better if it didnt show at all).

or even better - 2nd: a booking thats not fully placed by guest (guest started placing booking but didnt complete payout) should not hold a booking number, its confusing hosts.

since

  • these non-placed bookings evenetual expires and shows canceled to host, so host think that booking was canceled while it was actually a real booking since a guest started booking again for a 2nd time or 5th time and then paid so booking was confirmed, but host missed that since there are so many bookings as canceled they were ever really placed)
  • also when one of these bookings that the guest moved to payment page and then stopped, so for a day that it stays on the rental calendar, and then a ICS/iCal import link try’s to block it but there is a draft booking on those dates on the site so it doesnt block it in the site, but its still able to book by for a guest to book since its just a draft, so another guest books it in the meantime, but within the last day it was booked somewhere else, and now there is a double booking due to the same issue.

thank you

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions.

We’ll try to improve the UX regarding unpaid bookings. Currently, yes, “Cancelled” and “Expired” share the same status, but we’ll look into separating them.

Also, thank you for the suggestion regarding the booking number, we’ll consider having it assigned later in the process as well.
