Create and edit a Pre Auth Booking via the Widget

Edit functionality via the widget is available for venues which have a Stripe payment gateway and services with pre-auths, and/or booking options and upsell booking options with a payment type of pre auth. This is a customer facing edit process which will enable them to edit via the online booking widget to any service with a pre auth payment or no payment and amend their booking online, providing the venues individual editing configuration allows this.

**Configuration Requirements in Admin:**

1. In Email Settings you must enable 'Allow your customers to EDIT their booking via a link in the email'.

2. Customers will only be presented with the 'Edit' button if they are attempting to edit outside the timeframe configured in Widget Settings 'Stop editing online X hrs before booking starts (empty is unlimited)'.

3. The pre-auth payments setting 'Time (hours) before a booking where it can no longer be cancelled without using pre-auth' is still respected.

   **Edits where there is no financial impact:**\
   Customers making edits which do not result in a change to the pre-auth amount ie adding notes, changing times in the same service etc, will be required to verify the authorisation amount again. The messaging in the widget alerts them to the fact that their previous authorisation will be cancelled.

Select a Service that has payment or booking options of Pre Auth Type.

Click the "I agree to the booking terms and conditions." field.

Booking is made and the email is sent to the customer. Click on the link to edit the booking.
