I would like to change the text in the POC form. I do not need custom fields, I just want to edit the text of the POC form.
There are several new Airbnb "off platform" terms of service, and it may be that Airbnb will find that the OR POC form is not compliant. We will likely see how this language is interpreted in the near future, and I hope OR is proactive in addressing potential issues.
The new Airbnb off platform terms seem to say that hosts need to ask if guests would prefer to be contacted off platform before collecting email or phone numbers. I would like to explain why receiving information via text and email is useful (cellular data is often unavailable). This would clarify that guests are entering this information by choice to receive communications off platform. It would be preferred to keep the standard POC template for direct booking guests where there is no other channel.
As a related additional feature: new Airbnb terms prohibit collecting guest information for purposes of signing up guests to a mailing list for marketing purposes. While this may not require any changes if hosts do not send marketing communications, it could be useful to include an opt in field where guests are signing themselves up for marketing communications on the POC form.
It is not preferred to explain this in the template that includes the BUFIXUP link because this creates a disincentive to click on the link and potential confusion that clicking the link to complete the renter agreement is optional when it is not.
