    I have gone into rates and changed weekdays to one price, and weekends to another and don't see it apply to the rate calendar. I also have the rate calendar telling me that the minimum booked nights is 3, when the rules have it at 2.  The calendar also notes that both the rates and the nights are "custom", but I looked everywhere for where that may have been set up and find nothing.

    For some reason, Airbnb seems to think that cleaners charge less for a 2-night stay vs a 4-night stay (spoiler: they don't). So looked at the Airbnb listing - and yes, it is there alright.

    Hello friends! 

    We've had our first short term rental/vacation home for about 2 years now, and diving into the PM Software. 

    We are out of country and have a local Property Manager who has helped manage bookings/payments until we get more comfortable and set up to handle things ourselves. 

    Excited to set things up in OR, and excited to learn from the seasoned experts in this forum!...

    we are new to Ownerrez and just set up VRBO API integration today.  Are a couple of quick questions regarding API integration.

    1.  I am assuming now that the integration is complete that I can remove the iCal sync between Ownerrez and VRBO, correct?

    2.   It is my understanding that I will now be responsible for collecting all taxes and remitting them to my county. Correct?

    ...time. What would be even cooler is having RemoteLock fire a webhook back into OwnerRez which would let you trigger an action when the guest enters the property for the first time (automate a message 2 hours after they arrive with a standard “just making sure you’re in and everything is good” type thing). 

    The second part is entirely doable with some middleware, but having the notification turne...

    This could be achieved two separate ways:

    1.)  A landing page which asks every question imaginable that an owner could answer and a PM could port into a new listing

    OR

    2.)  Owner access (restricted or temporary) directly to the backend listing portal.  This would allow owners to take their time and make sure all of the details are filled in, and then the PM could res...

    ..., it is detrimental to user experience and we wanted to group the properties by location, like the following:

    Properties
          -- Chicago >
                 - Rental-unit-1
                 - Rental-unit-2

          -- Florida >
                 - Rental-unit-3
                 - Rental-unit-4

    It would be very helpful if OwnerRez had such customization options for the menus of its hosted websites.

    Hi there, my hosted website went live about 2 weeks ago, and I'm barely ranking on Google.

    When looking at Google Search Console, I'm only showing up on result #22 for an obscure keyword (the keyword is "brooklyn escape," which is the name of my domain).

    My goal is to rank on the first page for keywords a typical searcher might try, e.g.: "rental property brooklyn," "short term rental 2br b...

    if I collect $225 as a cancellation fee, VRBO will not refund their $886 service fee. by Trinity Property (/forums/users/347404033) – Feb 8, 2024 2:54 PM (UTC)

    This is not necessarily accurate.

    According to Vrbo official policies, yes you are correct.  And if you or the guest reaches out to Vrbo about a refund of the service fee, and they find that you the host did not issue a 100% full a...

    ...not refunding service fee if you withold for a cancellation and how that can lead to chargebacks, bad reviews etc. This is a conundrum I'm working on. 3% adds up. A $7,000 booking credit card fee is $210. The guest booking fee is $886! So, if I collect $225 as a cancellation fee, VRBO will not refund their $886 service fee. Now guest is paying about $1,100 to cancel with lots of notice. I think avo...
