Invoices - How to Pay using Credit Notes or using PayPal

There are two preferred ways to pay invoices: via Credit Notes or via Stripe.

• Credit Notes: Use an open Credit Note (with a positive balance) to pay off invoices.
• Stripe: You can pay invoices via Stripe.

You can still pay by check or cash. However, during peak times at the lodge (usually from 4 – 8 PM on weekends), the manager might be busy and unable to assist with payments.

All open invoices must be paid before you can make a booking. Additionally, you need to maintain an overall positive balance. To check your financial status, click the Membership link. The page will show the financial status for each household member. If the status is FALSE, you cannot make a booking. Pay your open invoices first by clicking Financial >> Invoices for a list of your invoices.

Bookings - How to Reserve and Pay for Bunks and Private Rooms

When and how can I make a reservation for bunks or private rooms?

Reservations can be made up to 3 weeks in advance (rolling 2-week period). Under the Member tab, click on Booking > Make a Booking, then follow the instructions. You can only make bookings if you have a positive balance in your accounts. Check your financial position before starting a booking (under the Member tab, click Financial). You must also be current and paid up on your yearly dues, and all invoices (membership fees, locker fees, purchases, etc.) must be paid.

Will I get a refund if I cancel a booking?

You will receive a full refund if you cancel at least 72 hours in advance. Cancellations less than 72 hours in advance will not be refunded.
