Since OwnerRez allows you to set up your own customized automatic message templates and triggers, as well as tags, there is nothing preventing you from offering your own insurance options via whatever contract you may have with the insurance company of your choice.  However, the legalities of offering insurance in the vast number of potential jurisdictions, is sufficiently complicated that we have no plans to provide commissions for insurance sales to our clients directly.

Would like to see a kick-back (commission) for selling cancellation insurance using the one that's connected to OR.

Another way to phrase this that's a standard practice within online marketing is we're wanting to setup affiliate links so when a guest purchases travel insurance, we receive a commission from their purchase. We'd also like to advertise travel insurance for our listings on our social channels, email campaigns, etc. and including an affiliate link for guests to do this would enhance operational efficiency.
