Thanks for the response. I will try that out and see if it yields the results we're looking for.

I would love the same ability. In fact maybe it could be part of the schedule or directive settings on whether or not you want Rezzy to create tasks under those conditions. Personally I think I'd prefer to have Rezzy's task generation disabled entirely for my particular use case, so having that flexibility would be very helpful.

 

 

Hi Matt,

You can achieve something similar today using tags and custom pages.

Create a tag group (Settings > Tags) for property types—e.g., "Motel" and "Cabins." Assign the appropriate tags to each property. Then:

1. Go to Settings > Widgets and create a master  Availability/Property Search widgets for each property type
   1. So you will have a Widget just for Hotel that has all the properties assigned to it that are a Hotel Type
   2. And another widget that is just for Cabins that has all the properties assigned to Cabin type
2. Create custom pages on your hosted site (Settings > Hosted Websites > your site > add Custom page)
3. Embed each widget on its respective page using the widget embed code

This gives you separate URLs like /motels and /cabins, which helps with SEO and lets guests navigate directly to the property type they want.

Full walkthrough: Multiple area searches

For search filtering in just one search widget, enable tag filters in your main property search widget: Hosted Website Tags
Here is an example of a site with the Tag Filter in the main bar:
https://www.northgacabinsbyowner.com/
Here is an example of where they have different pages by Property type:
https://www.shenrent.com/

• https://www.shenrent.com/mountain-properties
• https://www.shenrent.com/riverfront-properties 
• https://www.shenrent.com/properties-near-the-river
• https://www.shenrent.com/properties-for-big-groups

They added photos on the front that link to the different Property Pages.   

Or you could also add those pages as submenus under Properties, so when you click that dropdown, it shows the different pages, or put them on their own menu heading. Here is an example of where those different pages are submenus on the Properties menu item:

Hey Carissa,

I'm working through some older Feature Requests and ran across this one. Wanted to make sure you know that we now have Rate Adjustment Surcharges available that can be configured for a flat amount or a percentage! More on that here - https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/rate-adjustment-fee#fee 

The Rate Adjustment Fee Surcharge is added on top of the per-channel Rate Adjustment you may have set in your channel integration settings. So if you have a 10% rate adjustment on Airbnb's channel settings plus this surcharge, both apply. That in mind, be sure to take a look at your channel settings to see if you need to make an adjustment there before applying the Surcharge.

Hey TreasureIsland,

This one's been quiet for a while, so I'm going to close it out. If it's still on your radar, feel free to open a new Feature Request anytime!

Hi Ed,

Apologies for not having responded to this request well before now. We've been working on some forum updates to help us better categorize and assess the way we triage posts, and it looks like this one slipped through the cracks.

The promo code field currently only supports pricing discounts and isn't exposed to triggers, webhooks, or the API. However, you can achieve this outcome using Optional Surcharges configured as a workaround:

1. Create an Optional Surcharge at $0.00 (Settings > Surcharges > Create Surcharge > Advanced > Optional Surcharge)

   • Description: "Valued Guest Welcome Gift"
   • Amount: Fixed $0.00 per stay
   • Applied: Optionally (guests select during booking)

2. Create a Trigger to tag bookings and notify staff:

   • Type: Immediate > Booking is created
   • Condition: Financial > Optional Surcharges > One of > [Your Welcome Gift surcharge]
   • Action: Apply a tag (via Tag Automation) or send a staff notification template

Guests would select the "welcome gift" option during booking instead of entering a code. This gives you the visible $0 line item and trigger capability you need.

For more details, see: - Advanced Surcharges Overview - Triggers Setup & Configuration

We have a combination of property types and it would be great if the hosted sites could create separate pages or lists for each type of property. We have a motel and cabins but they are combined into one conglomerate of units. Seo would be improved if we could separate the types into different pages or categories. Also, guest would get a more definite way to quickly filter what they are looking at.

It would be awesome if we could have widgets on the hosted sites to advertise special pricing or upcoming events. Also, strike through pricing for discounts and promotions would be a great idea.

When I am not in full screen on my desktop or when I am using my mobile, when I click on a specific property, there is no drop down to easily navigate to a different property, I have to click on the properties button again and then select the next property. It would be great if there was always a drop down list to easily navigate between properties no matter the screen size or device being used.

Hello Paul! I would be interested in this. I have two direct booking WP websites that use OR widgets. 
I've be happy to provide feedback.

I'd love to be able to click on an expense to edit it when prepping owner statements, instead of having to have expenses open in another tab to search for it, edit, save, then go back to the owner statement and refresh. In the same fashion that we can click on the booking to make any changes or view it if needed while prepping statements. 

(I tried to read all the topics but didn't see this but apologize for duplicate if it's already here.)

Automated Expenses is in development. This should be released sometime during Q3 2026! A couple of prerequisites are already in testing, so things are moving along nicely.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for offering to help test BookDirectIQ.

One of my goals during beta is validating the tool across different website platforms and booking setups, so having access to multiple direct-booking sites would be extremely valuable.

If you're willing, please send the following information for one or two properties to:

info@bookdirectiq.com

• Property name
• Website URL
• OwnerRez Property ID
• Airbnb URL (if applicable)
• Vrbo URL (if applicable)
• Any OTA pricing variances you may have put in place 
• Any notes about the website platform (WordPress, custom site, OR hosted, etc.)

Once I have the information, I'll set up a demo and send it over for testing and feedback.

Thanks again,

Paul

BookDirectIQ

Paul.I would be happy to help. I have several direct bookIng websites that we can try on, built with different tools 

A while back I posted looking for OwnerRez hosts willing to help test a direct-booking pricing comparison tool I'm building called BookDirectIQ.

First, thank you to everyone who volunteered. The feedback has been extremely helpful.

So far we've tested across multiple website setups and identified several improvements, including one issue that turned out to be related to how a property-specific OwnerRez widget handles pre-populated dates. We've also received positive feedback from hosts regarding the pricing comparison concept and direct-booking messaging.

The tool compares a guest's direct booking price against Airbnb and Vrbo pricing and highlights the potential savings before the guest books.

I'm looking for 2-3 additional OwnerRez hosts who would be willing to spend a few minutes testing and providing honest feedback.

Requirements:

• Use OwnerRez
• Have a direct booking website or OR-hosted booking page
• Be willing to share feedback on guest experience and usability

There is no cost and I'm not selling anything at this stage. The goal is simply to gather feedback, validate different website configurations, and improve the product before wider release.

If you're interested, comment below or send me a message.

Thanks again to everyone who has helped so far.

I believe that currently tag automations work based only on conditions like booking dates, seasons, guest count, payment status, channel, and pets - but not directly on custom field values.

I don't think it is possible to have a tag auto-applied based on a guest's text answer to a custom field question. This means I can't set up automatic third party notifications for special requests like access to the EV charger.

After a booking is created, I need to check the Custom Fields tab for the guest's answer, and if they said "Yes", then I need to manually add the 'EV Charger Required' tag in order to set up a third party notification.

It would be great if this manual step could be removed. Or if there is a workaround that someone knows, I'd love to hear it please.

 I would like to get a couple new field codes to insert into templates? I am wanting a field for the next guests arrival date, {BNEXTARR},  and the previous guests departure date, {BPREVDEP}, so we could include that info in the gap nights email. Currently it just tells them that there is availability to add on but it doesn't say how many days are available and it creates more work to get more of the gap nights rented. If we had the fields I am requesting we could include those in the gap night emails and the guests would know how many nights they could add if they wanted to. I really believe this would help OR users get more of their gap nights rented and it will automate that process. I tried to create a custom field but can't make it work the way I am wanting it to work.

Here are examples of what I am wanting. I think this automation would be so helpful!

For checking out later than scheduled it would be

Hi {CFIRST},
I hope you are enjoying your stay with us at {PDISPNAME}...I wanted to let you know that we currently have availability for you to add on to your reservation. You are currently scheduled to check out the morning of {BDEP} and our next guest is scheduled to check in the evening of {BNEXTARR}. If you would be interested in adding on reply to this message telling me how many of the available dates you are interested in and I will send you a quote.

 

For checking in earlier

Hi {CFIRST},
I wanted to let you know that we currently have availability for you to add on to your reservation. You are currently scheduled to check in the evening of {BARR} and the guests before you are scheduled to check out the morning of {{BPREVDEP}. If you would be interested in adding on reply to this message telling me how many of the available dates you are interested in and I will send you a quote.

 

 

Exciting! Thank you!

Thank you, Bri. I look forward to seeing this improvements at work and hopefully it'll be all that was needed! 

(Just to confirm, is this being applied retroactively? For instance, I still have a couple bookings reflecting negative sentiment because their requests were denied but the guest was not unhappy with the outcome. (i.e. ORB17014530 and ORB16081161))

I am really a disorganized person so OwnerRez task features are very helpful to keep me on track. It would be even better if OwnerRez triggers could be linked to tasks to send me reminders of what I'm supposed to be doing.

Please include us in the beta test as well.... we are excited!

Hipcamp is awesome and we have a lot of bookings from it!

I wanted to request a time log feature that tracks the number of hours you spend working or logged in to OwnerRez. 

It would be so helpful if you could query dates for a property and select platforms you want to see for a side-by-side rate break down comparison based on current OwnerRez rates. I know there is the tool "Direct Rate Tester" and "Channel Rate Tester" but it is not user-friendly for comparison.
