Under the bookings and reservations settings you can choose to require confirmation for bookings for your customers. You can adjust the bookings/reservations settings so that all bookings made by members, contacts or both must be confirmed by a staff member on the admin panel.
When customers place a booking, if confirmation is required, it will appear in the dashboard as tentative.
Click on the tentative booking
You now have the option to uncheck the this booking is tentative box, click save and this booking is now confirmed.
When your customers make a tentative booking they will see this message when they click submit
Customers will not be invoiced or emailed until you confirm the booking, and the resource will not show as booked to customers until it is confirmed by an staff member.
if another customer tries to make a booking at the same time they will see this message.
