Add the Rule Set

Steps to define the Rule: 

After saving a new cancellation policy, you will be directed to the following screen to enter your Rule Set:

• Select your Cancellation with Discount Strategy. This is the strategy how to calculate the cancellation costs in combination with a discount that was applied as the discount. Are the cancellation costs applied on the sales price after/before applying the discount, for example. Two strategies are currently supported:
  • Cancellation on full price (Calculate the cancellation costs on the full, undiscounted price. At the end, subtract the absolute discount from the cancellation cost.)
  • The same percentage (Only allow "flat" cancellation policies, i.e., the same percentage for all product types. Then the cancellation costs can be calculated from the discounted price.)

• Add the Minimal Fee to each currency 
• Add your Rule Set
  • The first line of the ruleset is displayed. Via the add button, you can add as many rule set lines as desired. (See the example in the screenshot above.)
• Click Save
• To publish the policy click on the button next to Save and select Publish
