Why cancellation flexibility wins more bookings
More visibility
- Cancellation policies have a major impact on OTA search placement
- A “Free 3” policy can generate up to 100% more impressions vs. stricter 14- or 30-day policies
- Loosen policies in off-peak windows to surface higher and capture demand
More revenue, protected peaks
- Keep strict policies on high-demand holiday dates to protect your best stays
- FLEXStep automatically eases the window as unbooked dates approach
- Fill last-minute openings that would otherwise go unsold — with no manual work
Record results with FLEXStep
"I’ve seen the impact firsthand — when I turned on these flexible features for my own listings, they jumped to page 1 in search results. FLEXStep essentially opens the floodgates, letting our partners maximize occupancy with zero manual work."
"We started with a 7-day free cancellation policy, and after enrolling in FLEXStep our total bookings tripled from 7 to 21 and our revenue more than tripled, from ~$7.9K to ~$26.9K. We were blown away by the results."
