Set online booking rules for your customers** ![Ben](https://ovatu.com/_ipx/s_32x32/_ipx/_/images/avatars/ben.png)Published by Ben **New customer segments! Set online booking rules for your customers ** We know you've been asking for the ability to set different online booking rules for different types of customers. Well, now you can! **What is it? ** A Customer Segment allows you to create a group of customers and apply certain online booking criteria to those customers only. **What rules can you create?** For example, create a segment of customers that are not eligible for online booking, or one that requires a higher deposit than others, or another that doesn't require a deposit at all, but does require credit card capture. This neat little feature allows you to have even more control over how your customers book online. **Where can I find out more about setting it up? ** It's simple! We've created a complete Help Guide to get you set up and rolling! You can see it [HERE](http://ovatu.com/help/guides/customers/how-do-i-create-a-customer-segment).
