Feature Requests » 2 Factor Authentication For OR Account Login.

I think 2FA in general is a plus (so I'll vote for this feature) BUT can you please make the cookie that remembers logins more permanent, then? It's already a PITA when I'm trying to deal with a gues…

Wait, you can?? This has been a long-standing thing I’ve been meaning to put a feature request in for. Where is that setting??

General Help and Questions » Direct Booking Communication: E-Mails, Notifications, Alerts, and Co-Hosts

Yes, my experience is that people who book through non-Airbnb channels do receive and view the emails that OR sends to them. I don't know what you mean about constantly refreshing the OR CRM tab. …

I really want to like this idea, but the VR industry is one where delayed charges are common. I'd want to make sure that it doesn't interfere with our ability to collect future payments, security dep…

The Trigger Forecast (https://app.ownerrez.com/triggers/forecast) is a useful tool, especially after I've made updates to my triggers and I want to see what's actually going to get sent out. (I've ma…

Not to mention when guests ask questions about fees or listing details or such, it helps to know so we can say things like "the fee you paid Vrbo is controlled by them" or "if you scroll down through…

Guess your forum software doesn't allow images/attachments, but I'm on a (grandfathered?) VR Pro plan that's $12/month plus $5 per lock. It allows 200 users+guests. The Business plan allows 100 us…

General Help and Questions » AirBnB House Manual

Just to clarify, when Everything sync is re-enabled, these non-API-controlled settings won't be overwritten? That's potentially very useful info.

General Help and Questions » Anyone know of any calendar/thermostat integrations available?

I use Ecobee instead of Nest but honestly, this feature of Nest (which a family member uses at their personal residence) is one big plus to Nest over Ecobee. That said, it works in conjunction with t…

General Help and Questions » Direct Website Rates

You can do that if you're API integrated--the "channel mark-up" is an option in the channel's rules. I mark my Vrbo rates up 5% (to cover the PPB fee) and my BDC rates up 30% (to cover their 15% comm…

General Help and Questions » Have you had a booking from booking.com?

Almost all of the set-up is manual on Booking Dot Com's admin page, and it's an absolute PITA (the interface is TERRIBLE). That, plus the low quality of guest BDC attracts and the non-productivity of…
