Post to Folio
Once an order has been placed by a Guest, that Upsell order can be added to the Cloudbeds folio in via the Post to Folio button or when Fulfilling an order. A Cloudbeds reservation must be assigned to the order. This will create a charge(s) to the Cloudbeds Reservation folio for each line item in the order. Both paid & unpaid orders can be posted to a Reservation folio.
Paid & Unpaid Orders
Paid Orders - Whistle can collect paid (credit card) orders via payment gateway partners (like Stripe). These orders can be posted to the Cloudbeds Reservation folio, they will be recorded as already paid with a payment type of "credit".
Unpaid Orders - Whistle offers a "Room Charge" option, so that Guests can add the charge to their folio. These orders can be posted to the Cloudbeds Reservation folio to be added to the Reservation balance.
