You have the option to automatically put holds on credit cards and charge them in Launch27 using these scheduled tasks:

o Put On Hold With Stripe/ Launch27 Pay

o Charge Cards With Stripe/ Launch27 Pay

Once enabled, these tasks allow you to specify the time of day to run each task relative to a booking’s service date:

o Same Day as booking

o X days Before a booking

o X days After a booking

For example, you can:

o Put Cards on Hold at 7:00AM on the SAME DAY as the booking, and

o Charge Cards at 7:00AM 1 Day AFTER the booking

If any credit card declines/failures occur, the system will email:

o an alert to the customer for them update their billing info (the email templates for these alerts must be enabled in your account by going to Settings > Emails > Email Notifications)

A booking must meet these requirements in order for the credit card to be put on hold:

1. Booking’s payment method is Stripe/ Launch27 Pay

2. There is an Amount to charge (booking’s Total Price >0; or the Cancellation Fee >0)

3. Booking does not already have charges or holds on the credit card
