Today the system supports Adult and Child guests. We have 3 rate tiers: Adult, Child and Infant.
Feature Request: Add Infant as a guest type (or a user-definable guest type) and allow me to create a different surcharge/add-on for that guest type. Pets is an example that works -- I'd be happy if I could just change the name from Pets to Infants.
Please integrate with another accounting system besides Quickbooks, which costs over $1000/year (If you want to use classes to track different properties, which everyone needs if they have more than one property)
Stessa is great, it's designed for rental properties, and it's free. Other options are Xero and Freshbooks and Wave
Quickbooks is a huge overkill for a rental business, and difficult to learn for most people. The only reason people use it (and integrate with it) is because it's a well-known name.
"Be not the first by whom the new is tried,
Nor yet the last, to cast the old aside."
Speaking for myself personally, to this very day I have never yet found any sort of AI-based automatic response system that has given me the slightest bit of useful, relevant information that a standard Google-type search could not have done. Systems that force me to attempt to use such a system rather than submitting a conventional support request, strongly push me to go to a less controlling competitor.
We are carefully watching this technology develop, and it could be that eventually it will be sufficiently mature, relevant, accurate, and reliable to be trusted with our client's needs, perhaps as one option among others. At present, I've seen no evidence of it rising even to that level, nor that it will do so anytime soon. But I am glad to be proven wrong by facts, experiments, and research.
As you might expect, there are others at OwnerRez that are more enthusiastic about the promise of this technology, which is great - we can discuss and critique opposing views, as we seek to provide the very best possible support and service for our clients.
Generative AI is the future of search and responsiveness.
This is going to be the future in all industries for interactions.
And that is a terrible thing for everyone involved :(
I would love to have the option to have tags show on the ribbon view. Would be great to see at a glance properties that have added an early check in/late check out or owners stays on the Ribbon view.
Would ALSO love to see the tag "OWNER STAY" so we are visually aware when owners come and go :)
Thanks!!!
That is a slick dashboard!
+1 for this
Semrush points out a warning for every blog post on my site because blog posts don't have meta description tags
We use SPOT PRICING and soon will be using PRICE LABS
It would be a huge timesaver if you could export existing seasons, change the names, alter dates, etc. and then import them back in to create new seasons.
Currently the calendar displays the name and number of guest total in parens. i.e. "John Jones (8)". It would be helpful if this could be broken out with Adults/Children/Pets, maybe as an option or preference. i.e. "John Jones (4/4/1)". There probably a lot of options you could put on each booking and make it over crowded, but having a few self configurable options would be nice.
Can we have a simple CLOSE button or even add duplicate SAVE?CLOSE at the TOP of the preview. When previewing something long I find I often want to close but have to scroll to the bottom. With long messages or some of the Property Description blocks, this can get annoying very quickly.
Thanks.

Something like this is indeed planned, and has been for a long time, but isn't in the near-term path.
Yes, we actually are planning a major functionality overhaul of the support docs, including versioning for internal tracking, though I don't know if that part of it will be visible to end users. For sure, revision dates will be part of that.

Looks like you have considered working on this issue since July 2021 it will soon be two years, how can we get this higher in the future programming?
Since I have to get SMS notifications using email for OR, can we not include the entire SMS message in the email notification? That way we don't have to click yet another button, "read more", just the read a short SMS message.... almost every reply we get via SMS requires clicking read More, to see the entire message... makes not sense not to send the entire message in the email. It's an email... why is it truncating text? Please expand to include the entire message.
As we are constantly looking to improve our communications with vendors and guests... We have been updating templates and triggers... I found out the hard way that "Unfortunately, , the system can only fire triggers on bookings which were created the trigger was created. " Even though when I look at the scheduled messages for a booking event, it shows that it will send, and indicate NO issues... but it does not fire even though it says it will and you are left wondering why... well we have tons of bookings that it won't work for with no fix, they just have to drop off eventually and somehow I'm suppose to remember which booking came in before which triggers were created!! Yikes. Sort of frustrating to only hit new bookings... Anyone else benefit from triggers working on all bookings after they are set to active and the event occurs?

I am trying to keep all guest correspondance in one place and currently I can send messages to guests but when guests reply it comes into my main email box. It would be great if the would be directed to the email on the site so everything related to that booking was in one place.
Has this been implemented yet? We have surcharges to offer the guests at the campground, and I would like to be able to include them in an email before their arrival.
