Component

Hold the guest's chosen tables, rooms, or attractions so nobody else books them while they finish paying or filling details.

Why it matters: Without a hold, two guests can pick the same place; the second booking then fails or double-books. Real venues use this between selection and Paiement direct en ligne (PayNow).

When to use: After Sélection manuelle des sièges (ManualSelectPlanElements) / Sélection automatique des éléments du plan (AutoSelectPlanElements) (and a timeframe), before payment or long forms. Skip it for menu-only shops with no floor plan.

Configuration highlights:

• How long the hold lasts (ExpirationTime)
• Extra buffer around the visit (OccupationSlack)
• Optional fallback plan / time plan if occupation needs a default

Typical place in the funnel: time + elements → Pré-réservation d’articles (PreReserveSelectedElements) → contact / price → Paiement direct en ligne (PayNow) → sync.

Note: In older backups the step type may appear as Pré-réservation d’articles (PreReserveSelectedElements) — same step.
