Feature Requests » Payment Schedules

I don't think you are getting my point. You can say 1/3 upfront or $200 up front. But the bottom line is the quote will never match the agreement. If you have 3 or 10 payments OR will always say upfr…

Feature Requests » Payment Schedules

Crystal, With regard to the "workarounds" that Ken noted there are a couple of caveats. 1) The messaging of the booking process doesn't match the actual payment schedule and there is no way around t…

Feature Requests » Venmo option on payment type

At a minimum it would be really helpful if OR created individual payment types under "other" and let guests select one rather than just leaving hosts guessing what alternative payment to expect. Am I…

Feature Requests » Payment type surcharges & discounts

Any new thoughts on credit card surcharges? Nowadays it is almost becoming the norm to see the surcharge. Wondering if more people might be interested in this feature now?

Feature Requests » Add a Guest Login Portal for guests to view their reservation details (folio, check-in/out dates, party size, billing, etc.)

We are currently working through redesigning and modernizing all of the guest/booking forms. The first two completed were Guest Reviews and Travel Insurance (i.e. when using {BUTRAV} purchase link). …

It is easier to change RA maybe? Also, it actually does not matter how much you take upfront - can be a fixed amount like $500, or a percentage like 30%. The flow is still the same. I used to have a …

Feature Requests » Booking widget by clicking on monthly calendar date

I am so surprised that this is not a feature.  At the very least, I need to figure out how to have the availability widget next to the book now widget so a back-and-forth clicking is avoided. by yob…

Feature Requests » Booking widget by clicking on monthly calendar date

There are two widgets that I use that are different. There is the mini calendar widget and the booking widget. The minical widget only allows a guest to scroll the months. The calendar is not interac…

Feature Requests » Google Vacation Rentals Connectivity Partner

People seem to be putting so much value into an unproven and frankly unreliable platform. It's like they think Google is the answer to everything VR.  Do we have anyone reporting first hand exper…

Feature Requests » App for Guest

I agree, a guest portal link to their booking would be sufficient. An app is overkill.

General Help and Questions » Add a short term hold on quotes

Wow. I've never heard of someone having such high demand that they are booking in minutes. Unfortunately for you, I think this might be a situation that is unique to you and thus not likely to be add…

General Help and Questions » Airbnb email aliases

I've always done this, even when they had the aliases. Just message the guest and ask for their email. I have a saved response on AirBnB that I just send as soon as they are booked..... "blah blah…

Feature Requests » Conditional field codes for legal agreement?

I'm not sure if this is supported or requested...or if anyone has a workaround for my scenario.  I'm looking to automate my agreement and some of the terms vary based on booking source or payment…

Feature Requests » Select "Manual Payment Method" (Zelle, Venmo, etc) on additional payment screen plus proof of Payment

I agree that the "custom" payments option could use some upgrades, especially as CC fees become more of an issue and Venmo/Zelle and the like become more common. I'm far less concerned about "uploadi…

Feature Requests » Payment Schedules

No, this doesn't work for me or anyone who takes a "reservation hold". The problem is that the "rules" of the booking and the "rules" of my agreement can't match up. If a guest is booking in July of …

Feature Requests » Secondary Email for Bookings

I think you can just add the custom field code from the reservation process to your templates so that when an email triggers it will go to both the primary email and the secondary email. This should …

I appreciate the honest recognition that development schedules, much like construction timelines in the real world, are hard to meet! At this point just knowing it is on the schedule is good news.

I never thought about this until seeing your post. Like many STR's we take two payments months apart. Even though we send out payment reminders via OR with amounts and instructions, I still regularly…

The latter is the correct interpretation of what I am looking to do. I would like to be able to default all properties to manual payments only, but then on individual quotes/bookings, be able to turn…
