    ...r lock charge (note: you need to add this to the overall Pricing page).

    I have parent/child listings where each child has a lock and, of course. the parent has all the "children".

    I also have 2 scenarios where the same home is represented by 2 different listings (2 configurations). 

    Before considering switching from RemoteLock I want to be sure that these will be handled correctly and w...

    A lot of users mention that they have different Minimum Stay rules per season. You might require 5 nights during High Season but allow 2 or 3 nights on Low Season. You can now do that. Open any season and check out the new Rules section.

    If you have Minimum Stay specified at the property and season levels, both, the season rule will...

    We currently have a fixed amount surcharge for additional guest fees with the multiplier set to every 1 guest above 2 up to the property max. I’d like to have an additional guest fee for every guest over the first 2, where each additional guest would add another 5% of the initial rate to the final total. For example, if there are 4 guests and the initial rate is $100 per night, the final rate would...

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

    especially with the (also unnecessary) ~2-minute delay OR engages in when sending emails via their Postmark ESP (they appear to use a batch process that runs every ~1-2 minutes instead of sending messages in real-time, which Postmark should support AFAIK).

    Because of the volume of data we process, we can't connect to data partners in real time. Doing that would cause negative domino affects depen...

    I don't know how many emails you guys send a day, but at my day job, we use AWS SES to send about 25,000 transactional messages a day. We send in real-time, not in a batch/queue process. It's possible that SES may implement some minor delivery throttling on their end (between SES and the destination SMTP server), but I've never noticed any delays beyond maybe a few seconds.

    Two minutes may be a sl...

    As a victim of the LA fires (with 2 properties lost) the Snooze feature is very welcome. I was trying to figure out how to manage (as of now I have disabled them in the Channels) and wanted to reduce my OR costs (as it will be 2-3 years) before they are rebuilt and back online but was hesitant to delete them. Is there a reason why the Snooze feature still incurs the same fees since the user is not...

    Can these default settings be adjusted to accommodate my preferences?
    1. Number of days for reservations automatically sets at 2, yet mine should be set to come up with 3. (blocks etc. from 2 to 3)
    2. The emails that will go out with every change. (I don't want all these emails clogging up my box, so I have to uncheck them everytime.)

    Hello there,

    Case 1: It's common practice to combine two or more units and present it as one unit on listing sites, since some people search accommodation for large groups.

    Case 2: It's common practice that hosts who rent bedrooms of a unit also list the unit as one whole listing in addition to bedrooms on listing sites.

    Currently OR doesn't support the necessary configuration to be able...

    With 2 properties I would like more customization for each property for the Damage Deposit. There are some markets where having a deposit outside of Airbnb does not work. Current options are bit limiting.

    Yep, that's how we started with OR back in the day, actually -- a couple of us got vacation rentals back in 2009 and being developers figured we'd put together some software. Back then there wasn't much at all.
