How does that work without being confusing, though? If you show the guest pays but don't show how it breaks down to the owner amount and commission, the owner is going to ask why the guest paid * 45…

Just saw this one, sorry for the delay! What if you set the week rate for the holiday period to prorate up only and put a night rate in? Does that get what you want?

General Help and Questions » Airbnb request for contact info (real email address) and signed renter agreement

I double checked @BlueMtnCabins setup and it looks correct, with a trigger and template going out to the @guest.airbnb.com email address. When you get in contact with the guest through other means do…

Hmm, that's a good point on financials. Maybe we need two levels for that, full financials and owner only. What items make sense to show under Owner Only? There are a lot of numbers so it needs to be…

@BlueMtnCabins... good point on the how's. Most of the new features are automatically added. I just wrote up an article with more details on legal agreements here: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/ar…

General Help and Questions » recorded payment is not reflected in outstanding balance?

I updated the booking so the $300 factored in, so that is correct now. We're looking into the issue to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Feature Requests » Tax Setting

If you use the "simplify charges" option on the booking widget, it'll collapse the taxes to one for display there, but it still shows individual taxes on the checkout and emails. Perhaps we should a…

That looks pretty cool, although I'm not sure exactly what it does from their website. How would we integrate? Discount codes or some such?

That's a good point! We'll add a listing site criteria on taxes so you can disable the city tax for Airbnb.

Feature Requests » Report - Total Amount Charged Per Night

Hmm, that's an interesting idea, sort of similar to the occupancy report. Do you have an example you've seen? A lot of questions in the details of what would be the best information ... How would it…

Feature Requests » Tax Setting

The best way is to create one tax for each -- that way it will be broken out on reports etc. Is there a problem with showing the individual taxes somewhere vs. the rollup?

General Help and Questions » Trip insurance question / cleaning fee / sec dep

Yep, that makes sense. We've got plans to add a feature for refundable secdeps so they are treated like the auths and don't factor into the total. Once that's in place, the travel insurance would aut…

General Help and Questions » Interesting-AirBnB iCal import sometimes has fees and payments?

Looks like you did taxes included in Airbnb fee, which subtracts the tax % you have set up from the total payout to get the rent. That's for folks who quote inclusive rates and then back out the taxe…

Yes, that's exactly what grace period does. It's subtracted from check-in and added to check-out. You may want to do more than an hour just to be safe. I use a 3 hour grace period on my properties -…

Hmm. You should get owner notifications when bookings are changed or canceled, whether manually or by the iCal import. Are those coming through? Or are you wanting notifications to another person? Wh…
