General Help and Questions » Discounts: Airbnb vs. Beyond Pricing

Yes, that is generally correct that discounts should be put in OwnerRez.  But, it is still possible to produce the strikethroughs in Airbnb: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/channel-mana…

Feature Requests » VRBO Native Messaging in OwnerRez via API integration

We cannot begin development until Vrbo provides documentation about what their interface will be, which AFAIK has not yet occurred.  So basically, your second guess is correct, except that we are in …

General Help and Questions » Syncing Error

This problem has nothing to do with being connected to RentalGuardian or anything else.  The issue is that Airbnb does not allow you to reference any websites or links in the property listing fields …

Feature Requests » Add internal notes on surcharges and discounts.

General Help and Questions » Guest adding a night to already paid booking

Part of the issue here is the TOS'es of the various listing channels, that restrict or disallow extending bookings off-platform.  Since we have partnership agreements with the channels, we cannot int…

Feature Requests » Auto 5 star reviews fields

Because reviews can be transmitted to listing channels automatically (e.g. Vrbo), and cannot be edited once submitted, we have decided it is simply too risky to allow the use of custom field codes in…

General Help and Questions » Rotating codes sent to Guests

So just to be clear, the lock has 20 codes, all of which work all the time? You could manually assign a random example of a valid code, to each booking individually: https://ownerrez.zendesk.…

Feature Requests » Expedia intergration

Unfortunately, we've asked many times, and Expedia is not accepting new API connections.  This is because they are the same company as Vrbo, which we have a thorough API integration with, and they ar…

Feature Requests » Airbnb's new WiFi tester

That's a good question... As we read the documentation, it should be possible for you to set this in Airbnb using their app, and then for the data to remain valid since OwnerRez can't set it via API.…
