How do cancellation policies relate to sales channels?

Sales channels policies will prevail, as the reservation was made there. In this case, one very important action is to relate your policy's models to the more compatible existing options on the sales channels. 

If the channel is compatible or has predefined policies' models, go to the [Channel Managers Dashboard > choose the channel] menu and then access the [Settings > Cancellation Policy] tab.
