Dates appear open in our dashboard calendar but blocked on the listing calendar

[Chanchal0]

Hi , for one of the booking inquiry suddenly my calendar is blocked for those dates with the status as "Awaiting payment". I am not sure what does that mean?

I have not Pre-approved the booking but Instant booking is activated. For Instant Booking, I have mandated a Govt approved Id to be uploaded by the guest. 

Can anyone please confirm what is the meaning of this and how can I unblock these dates?

Thanks

@Chanchal0,

With some payments methods Airbnb grant a guest 24 hours to complete the payment. You probably received a in Instant Booking, so now you have to wait for the payment (and dates are blocked during this period)

Best regards,
