Multiple payment policies for one rate group, configurable by advance date
Where properties receive a high volume of same day bookings, which they review and then either take manual payment or cancel, there should be an option to configure payment policies on rate groups by advance date. This solution would help to reduce the amount of refunds properties need to perform for these particular bookings. This is currently only possible in Mews by creating a combination of multiple policies, rates/rate groups and restrictions.
Ideal use case below where property only requires one rate and one policy
Any reservation made prior to the day of arrival - an automatic payment schedule is created to charge the guest at midnight on the day of arrival
Any reservation made on the same day as arrival - card details are collected from the guest, but no payment is made, manual payment task is created
