• Verify phone number in widget

Since Calenso version 4.9.0 it is possible that customers have to verify their mobile phone number via SMS code before booking. This is a step to counteract fake bookings.

Activate functionality

Go to https://dashboard.calenso.com/app/settings/widget and enable the feature "Customers must verify their mobile phone number via SMS before they can make a booking". Once the feature is enabled, customers will be prompted to verify their phone number once when making a booking. Once the phone number is verified, it will not need to be verified again when making another booking.

Please note: As a partner, you will be responsible for the SMS cost of 10 centimes per SMS. Calenso will invoice the costs at the end of the year.

The code can be requested a maximum of 3 times. If it still does not work, then Calenso Support must be contacted at [email protected].
