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 …

Feature Requests » Payment Schedules

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.

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

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…

Feature Requests » Add "Manual payment only" selection under rules at the property level

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…

Feature Requests » Add "Manual payment only" selection under rules at the property level

I typically only take manual (non CC) payments on my rentals. Either check, venmo or zelle. We do maybe 2-3 cc payments a year outside of ABB bookings. Manual is my default. As it works now, if I hav…

This used to be a thing, before it was removed. At the time of its removal (late 2020), there was a mention of a possible future means of adding an automated surcharge or discount based on payment ty…

Portal access tab isn't visible on mobile. The only way to access it on mobile is to click the "invite staff" button and then under the warning displayed click the link to go to portal. Just FYI.

What about implementing the ability for an owner to link to an outside payment processor during checkout? I mean, it's not ideal but plenty of companies use 3rd party processors and you "leave the pa…
