In Guesty, you can send a quote to a guest through the Inbox or Multi-Calendar. A link to the quote is sent to the guest in an email, allowing them to review their options before booking a reservation.
When you send a quote, you decide whether to set the reservation status to Reserved or Inquiry (to reserve the listing or leave it vacant, respectively). If the guest approves the quote, the reservation status instantly changes to Confirmed.
The quote settings allow you to choose what information the guest must provide or agree to before booking. Review the options below to ensure your quotes are sent the way you want them to.
