Enable payment requirement in app |

Enable arrival registration for players in app |

Arrival registration should ONLY be enable for app user outside of opening hours |
Specifies whether players can register their arrival in the app solely when the reception is not open. The opening hours can be configured in the golf club settings. This parameter is applicable only if the "Enable arrival registration for players in app" parameter is set to OFF. |
Last point of cancellation by player for confirmed bookings |
Choose an option ranging from "No cancellation" to 48 hours prior. If a player confirms a booking after the cancellation deadline has passed, they will have a 15-minute window to cancel. If "No cancellation via Sweetspot" is selected, users will still have a 15-minute grace period to cancel, allowing for any potential mistakes. This setting change will only impact future bookings. |
Enable auto-cancellation of unconfirmed bookings |
It should be enabled, and then choose either 5 or 10 minutes. If a player does not complete the booking, it will be automatically canceled. |
Enable auto-cancellation of unpaid bookings |
Choose a time frame from 5 minutes to 90 days; if a booking remains unpaid, it will be automatically canceled. This measure prevents players from reserving without payment. |

This feature allows players to obtain a free membership at the club. To enable this, you must create a membership with no cost (set the pricing section in the membership card to 0).
