Automatic Late Fees & Automatic Cancellation
Along with our AutoPay feature, we are making it even easier to incentivize your Travelers to pay on time. Configure an Automatic Late Fee - with warnings and automatic application based on the Installment schedule per Trip.
COMING SOON: This feature will be live for sponsoring clients first. Look for it in your ACCOUNT -> PAYMENTS
Why do I need this?
- ⚠️ Do you see too many orange triangles in your Manage Payments report?
- 📤 The three automated reminders just don't seem to cut through?
- 🕙 You have a Late Fee policy but it's a hassle to implement
How does it work?
- Turn on Automatic Late Fees
- We recommend pairing this with AutoPay to make it easy to avoid the late fee
- Set your policy
- Turn on for the Trips where you want it to apply
- This allows you to roll this out and test your policy - so not all Trips have the policy applied.
- Be sure to update your Templates to have the right default
- Let YouLi be the bad guy!
- Late Fee line items are automatically added to the invoice for people who have not paid their installments according to the policy you set
- You and your team can always remove these or adjust these if you want to make exceptions based on extenuating circumstances
- Notify your customers about the policy - the more places the better!
- Include it in the Terms & Conditions shown on registration
- Include it in the Package description
- Include it in the Pricing Explanation
- Send out a general update email informing about the policy
