I just realized Damage protection isn't billed when you do iCAL calendar synch but it looks like it will be billed for Channel Bridge Imports. Does it apply only to future bookings or bookings that happened in the past as well?

That's an interesting point... channel bridge could override the iCal setting if it is bringing in a booking. That's not quite intentional.

Do you want to have that applied or not? I can look into the bookings for you if something needs to be fixed.

Airbnb and VRBO are the external payments so I don't charge or offer damage protection. I wouldn't expect iCal or Channel Bridge to charge for damage protection

We've discussed internally and we may end up moving those damage protection settings to the channel only. It makes more sense to have that there then on the iCal. You either want it on a channel's bookings or you don't - no matter whether it was imported from iCal or channel bridge. No ETA on that yet though. If you need it removed, let us know and we can remove it from a booking. Send in a ticket for that.
