## Waitlist & Queue Management FAQs

### Do customers need an app to join the waitlist?

No. They join from a QR code or link in their browser and get text updates.

### Can I take deposits when customers book?

Yes. We use Stripe to take deposits or full payment at booking, charge balances automatically and handle cancellation fees according to your policy.

### Will it sync with Airbnb, VRBO or Google Calendar?

Yes. We sync availability through calendar feeds and APIs so you avoid double-bookings across channels.
