Say no in advance,so you don't have to say it later.

Set the rule once. Chester is the one who enforces it.

A real moment

The cancellation you did not have to argue about

A client cancels ninety minutes before a Thursday walk. You had already set the window at twelve hours and the fee at half the booking, back when nobody was cancelling and it was easy to think clearly. The fee invoice generates on its own. You did not have to decide in the moment whether to be the difficult one, and if you want to waive it, that is one tap.

The cancellation policies screen in the Chester app
  • Decided in advance, applied in the moment

    Set the free-cancellation window and the fee per service type, and it applies without you weighing it up each time.

  • No-shows are counted too

    A no-show gets its own status and its own fee, so the slot you held is not simply lost.

  • Generous is still one tap away

    Every fee can be waived, and the cancellation details stay on the booking so you remember why.
