1. can be done pretty easily since OR already provides payment link. Offer "payment plan" i.e ability to split payments for reservation at least x months away into 3 payments or monthly, with a small 'convenience" fee , say $5, for each. |

#1 is a good idea. We have a to-do list item we're calling "payment schedules" that would allow creating that list of amounts and due dates rather than just the first and second payment as it is now. If you're using credit cards, you can sort of hack around that for now by scheduling payments on the booking -- you can make however many scheduled payments you want. But we're planning to officially support that so it shows up on the checkout and works for other payment types. |

Chris Hynes said: #2 if you're pushing it into a template, what about using a custom field on the booking? It wouldn't be on the charges page, but you would be able to populate it and use it in the template. yes that would work, I have to add a custom field on booking level and populate it time of booking ? then it will be visible to be added to the email template? |

Yep! As long as you populate it on the booking before the email goes out it'll be included. |

We just added this for you. Now you can use {BSOURCE} to pull the name of the listing site set on the booking in email templates and renter agreements. |

I really need 3 payments for my leases. This is a year old - any chance this feature will be done soon? |

You can do scheduled payments on the booking, but not a full payments schedule for quotes and offline payments. Once we round the corner on our channel integrations, which has been the focus this year, we'll be moving on to new things like full N payment schedules. |

By "offline payments" you mean them sending me a check or wiring funds? |

Hi everyone, Yes, things like Zelle would be part of "custom instructions" payment method where you tell the guest how to pay you in some other/offline way. You are then responsible for making sure you get that payment and record it in OwnerRez as a manual payment on the booking. Norman, credit card processing does occasionally have its headaches, but without it, you use lose a lot of power and automation. We highly recommend configuring credit card processing. Chargebacks are extremely rare and typically non-existent if you vet guests well and have good communication records. We are planning on updating our payment schedules for supporting multiple (and for check or any type of payment) but there is no current scheduled ETA for that. |

Yep, the multiple payments is in the dev queue. Don't have an ETA yet though. |
