I would like to request the ability to adjust the commission rate based on the following.

#1 listing site:  why?  different sites charge less than others.  also when direct booking costs less.  

#2 payment by check:  why?  could adjust 2-3% since not paying cc fee

#3 special offers:  we often find ourselves lowering our commission to make a sale.  setting tags for 1% 2% etc. at booking level would make this easier

Thank you for your consideration

Hi Shawn, A slightly later response than one might have liked! Other software companies, don't seem to find this an issue. We hope a WhatsApp solution can be rolled out before too long.

We did a lot of R&D and found that international SMS is a wild west, with deliverability unknown for many countries. We have pivoted to spend time on WhatsApp for Business, which is currently in testing.

It's currently possible to record manual/offline payments for rental fees/surcharges/taxes but not possible to do that for security deposits. Ideally we'd be able to do that for security deposits as well and have the security deposit status updated when that happens (so that any triggers based on security deposit status are properly evaluated). 

As an example, for longer-term guests we often will accept check as a payment method and the guest will include the security deposit in their check amount for the regular booking fees. If we record the security deposit as an offline/manual payment, that over-reports the revenue (and reports we use for sales taxes/other monthly reconciliations are skewed/inaccurate). 

Do we have an ETA on the tags automation for when the guest selects add-ons or certain surcharges that are applied?

I collect photos of guest DL's.I'd love to have ability to set a trigger to have that field auto deleted at completion of their stay🙏

When it comes to any files that a guest uploads to a custom field (e.g. a Drivers License) and is inserted into their booking, there isn't a way to tell the system to automatically delete it. I need to go into the booking after their stay and manually delete the files by going to the Files tab in their booking, checking the box to the left of each file then selecting Delete.

Added you Kathy

Please add me to the list!

Is it possible to get a report on message response times?

last year we looked at conversion rates and saw the NEED to allow instant bookings Conversion speed drastically increased

Am I understanding Bri's comment here that we won't even have PMv2 quality year-end statement capabilities until the end of 2026 since we won't have been using PMv2 since 1/1/2025??

PLEASE tell me y'all are working to get your existing long-term PM users onto the new model ASAP with some sort of setting or integration that will provide this functionality as soon as possible and will be able to generate year-end statements at the end of 2025!? 

Hi Jean & Shanelle,

Good news! Today's release fixed this. You should be able to see those policies again when printing to PDF. 

Just click the View Purchased Policies button before printing, and you should get everything you need.



Let us know if you have any trouble by writing in to help@ownerrez.com!

YES YES YES! This is the only reason I still maintain my Hospitable account -- their conditional message ability is so robust and blows OR out of the water when it comes to being able to customize communications!

I'm trying to dynamically build a channel message:

paragraph 1: text
paragraph 2: included only when a condition is met
paragraph 3: included only when a condition is met
paragraph 4: text

I want to send this channel message x days prior to arrival date.

I’d like to request owner statements to be downloadable as .OFX or .QFX file formats for easy importing into bookkeeping software such as QuickBooks or Stessa.

I would like to add on to this Feature Request.  In addition to detailed itemization per night, I frequently need to see the subtotal of the Charges by Item type, so it would be extremely helpful to see a subtotal of all the Rent charges, Discounts, Ideally a calculation of Rent-Discounts, the Surcharge subtotal and Tax subtotal.  We frequently talk to our guests in these subtotal amounts and some are combined in other views/widgets/emails, but not for us in the Bookings view. 

This seems like an easy implementation and low hanging fruit.  I might propose a simple additional section at the bottom of the Charges page:

Guest Charge Summary: (5 nights)

Rents Subtotal:  (adds all Rent items, like nightly base rates, channel uplifts)   $1000  $200/nt (100%)
- Discounts Subtotal: (subtotals weekly, repeat guest discounts)                  -$ 200  $ 40/nt (-20%)
= Rents - Discounts:  (removes weekly discounts, etc)                             =$ 800  $160/nt (=80%)
+ Surcharges Subtotal: (adds Cleaning, Pets, Processing, etc)                     +$ 200  $ 40/nt (+20%)
+ Taxes Subtotal: (state, county, city, etc) (Taxable charges: $900)              +$ 100  $ 20/nt (+10%)
= Total Charges: (as shown at top of page, total of our charges)                  =$1100  $220/nt (110%)
+ Channel Fees:                                                                   +$ 200  $ 40/nt (+20%)
= Total Guest Charges: (adds Total Charges + Guest Channel Fees)                  =$1300  $260/nt (130%)

Thanks for consideration of this request.  I will use it every week and I think most OR users will as well.

Just seeing this whole thread now - I added a comment earlier about this. Based on your message above, it sounds like OR has made the change to update this. Last time I checked, though, I was still not getting a per pet pricing model. 

Is there some way to verify that OR now has this functionality and other than going to my settings --> Surcharges  and then configuring pet fees on a per pet basis, is there something else needed to turn this capability on?

Chiming in here because I'm also trying to figure out pet fees on OR. In Airbnb you can charge PER pet. So I would charge $50/pet/stay up to 2 pets. i.e. Bring 2 pets and you are charged $100 for the stay.

In OR it LOOKS like you can charge per pet. But when you set it up to be $50/pet/stay it only pushes one charge to Airbnb - i.e. Bring 2 pets and you are only charged one charge of $50 for an Airbnb booking.

Based on this it looks like the software failure is on OwnerRez - Airbnb does have the functionality, but OR is not correctly pushing the info into the API.

I'm hopeful this gets fixed...

Ability to send the Daily checklist our over email to selected staff.

Even better if you can do it with different time period, monthly weekly and daily.

In the expense category can "vendor" be added as a selection to add to a custom statement? 

That's awesome! Thank you!! Does Airbnb limit pet fees to a single surcharge or is there a way to push through multiple pet fees so that, for example, we could charge a base flat fee of $50/pet + $5/pet/night?

Gotcha:
