Using innRoad Payments as a gateway, you can create different deposit schedules as a Deposit Policy. You can offer your guests more flexibility with a deposit structure, and your team can be more efficient since payment collection is automatic.

Creating a Deposit Policy with scheduled charges is only available to innRoad Payments users. Please contact support@innroad.com if you'd like to learn more. 

Scheduled Payments will process the reservation's card on file automatically, based on the Deposit Policy settings. If the scheduled charge fails, a Payment Link will be sent to the email stored on the reservation to process payment. 

You can see a reservation's charge schedule in the "Auto Charge & Links" tab of the reservation.

Any changes to Deposit Policies or their Clauses will only affect new reservations booked under that policy, not reservations that were created previously. 
It is not possible to change the automated deposit policy on a reservation, but you can cancel scheduled charges manually.
