I would like the ability to offer a percentage discount on ONE night if stay is 3 nights.  So, stay Mon - Wed, with Wed being 50% off.  Not 50% off the Subtotal of rent.

Allow for triggers to be tied to flexible check-in times (not just standard property check-in time) 1 reply

To add a little flexibility, can we add trigger timing to align with a booking's check-in time? In my specific instance I'm looking for my SMS check-in welcome message to be sent one hour before check-in. This works fine as long as there's not an early check-in, in which case it becomes a manual process of remembering if the guest requested early check-in and manually sending my SMS welcome message with access codes. Would be great if we could automate that with a trigger tied to the guest's check-in time we stipulate with their specific booking.

We can handle same day turnovers some of the time,  but not all of the time.    We would like to be able to adjust accordingly.

Ability to duplicate a trigger, or save-as another trigger. 1 reply

 I've got several triggers that I'd like to set-up that are all similar, except each uses a different tag or slight change in criteria.  I don't believe there's any way to quickly duplicate a trigger or "save as another name", but that would be helpful for a future release.

Thanks!!

Would like to have an option to shade Fri and Sat as the weekend instead of Sat and Sun. We used Think Reservations for years and that's how their page is set up since Friday and Sat is the peak stay rates.

Hoping if we turn off the alerts for all the random conversations we will still be able to refer back to the feature conversations if needed in the future?

Are you able to require the selfie through the registration flow or do you have them send it to you separately?

We have it on our form and required and people are using their phones to take and send photos. We have not had an issue with any reservations for the last two months. We require a photo ID and a Selfie. People like the selfie part.

Is there a way to make the Photo ID entry "optional" initially so that if someone is booking it on their computer (or don't have their ID nearby) they don't have to enter it right then, but then they get notified immediately afterward (by SMS, Email, & Airbnb Message) that they need to send in their ID as well?  (That way they could complete that part on their phone if preferred, for example).  Then make the check-in instructions based on whether the ID has been submitted?  If so, that might be the best process.  Is it possible to gatekeep check-in instructions until a file has been submitted through that ID request on the form?

Thanks, OR!  So glad to have this tool.  Just trying to finesse it for ease of our guests' use.

Great list!  Couple of great low-hanging fruit ones there, and I know the pet filter and the location consolidation ones are already on our list to do for property searching generally (ie. across all such widgets, not just shared properties).

It would be cool to have a repeat guest trigger option that would send a more personalize welcome/thanks for booking template to guests who have booked with you before as opposed to the generic one all guests see now.

As with any computer, the file or pic you’re uploading would need to be stored somewhere on your computer. So, yea, you have the process correct - get the file you need onto your computer and upload it. You can either mark the field as “required” or not. It has nothing to do with which type of device you’re on. Hope that helps.

I agree entirely with the above about the ribbon view. I am new to OR but came over from iGMS. The ability to scroll the ribbon view and simultaneously see the rates for unbooked nights was a major help on iGMS, If we got this on the OR platform it would make me so happy!

As I'm testing this, it seems like an incredibly smooth process on a smartphone, but I honestly don't know how I would be able to complete the form if I was booking on my computer.  I'd have to maybe take a picture of my ID on my phone, email it to myself, download it to my computer, find that file, and upload it to the form...  Anyone have a smoother suggestion for a process that we could encourage?  Or is there a way to detect whether it's a phone or computer and make it mandatory or not based on that?

 

Thank you!

Water toys? Paddleboards Water mats 0 replies

Does anyone offer guests water toy rentals? eg. Paddle boards, water mats etc.

 

Originally I was thinking it would be best handled in OwnerRez but the more I think about it....

I use VRScheduler Operto ......
when there is a surcharge for Paddleboard ... VRScheduler Operto would create a task for delivery/pickup of the Paddleboard

BUT how do I handle inventory so we don't accidentally rent out more paddleboards then we have? 

 

Currently with linens I have a spreadsheet but I have enough inventory to cover any mistakes I make. I won't with water toys

 

Does OwnerRez have an inventory feature that could be developed rather than manually tracking in a separate spreadsheet?

 

In an ideal world....Here's how I would love to see it
Water sports equipment available for certain cottages, 
in the quote as guests are checking out they have the option to add paddleboard or watermat  IF all in inventory aren't already spoken for  (in my case we would rent water sports equipment Sun to Thurs

I just spent time to reformat my marketing including creating a new email template in an outside email html editor. I then imported the .html into OwnerRez code. However some of the formatting in fields like {QHCTAB} are hardset by OwnerRez. So the formatting does not match our color scheme or fonts. It would nice to expand Theming to include more than headers and footer but to globally set color, fonts, etc.

When adding a new fee as a write-in description, any change in the wording creates a new column in the Pivot Chart.  The imported "Airbnb host fee" is different from "Payment fee" which is different from "Channel fee".  Even something as simple as reversing the words like "Host fee-Airbnb" creates a new column and you don't realize it until doing a new report.

The WordPress Plugin does accomplish the intent of this feature request, if you are using WordPress.  If you are not using WordPress, it's no use to you.
