    I am trying to set up Mid-Term stays 21-28 days. I would like to have 2 different security deposits set up. Currently I have a security deposit set up for all stays regardless of length at $400.00/stay, but I would like to have a secondary security deposit between $1,500-$2,000/ stay with a separate booking criteria that triggers it if someone books a mid-term stay of 21-28 nights?

    ...e been asking for and that's the ability to create a custom URL that redirects to a page outside of your website. You might want to create a dummy URL on your site (like ) to give out in mailings and look professional, but you want that to redirect to a completely different website. You can now do this. Go to the same Redirects tab in your website setting...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    This is happening because you have a min weekend nights = 2 rule set on the property. Since the nights in question are all weekend nights, and since the season doesn't have a min weekend nights setting, that 2 minimum is overriding.

    My suggestion would be to clear the min weekend nights rule on the property. If it's the same as min nights, you don't need it -- you only need that when it's differen...

    Thanks... I found that.. My situation is we charge $75 for the 1 or 2. We lock one bed and one bath for only 2 guests and open it for 3 or 4 guests. How would i configure $75 no matter if its one or 2 guests?
  • Forums

    Select $75 per night with no multiplier. Then down below in the Booking Criteria, select if Number of Guests is greater than 2. This will target any booking that has more than 2 guests and add a flat $75/night fee regardless of who many over 2 they have.

    I have all those things: website(2 of them), Facebook pages with integrated booking tabs, I am listed all over the place including homeescape and tripz (latter 2 for free). While my own site provided fair number of bookings, it is still not a full replacement of big sites. Also facebook is quite a big disappointment - I got maybe 3 bookings total between my 2 cabins. one was a prior guest finding...

    ...should choose "Everything but Airbnb" in the Listing Sites criteria.

    What should we do for those locations where VRBO and/or Airbnb collect & remit only a portion of the required taxes? In the other 2 locations of our properties those sites both collect & remit all BUT 2% of the required taxes.

    Do I need to create a separate 2% tax in OR, associate it with the particular properties in those loca...

    Update. Spoke to the rep. $15 is not a gateway change, he calls it "credit card" charge. so them advertising 2.59% + 10c is not really a 2.59% once you figure in $15 monthly charge. perhaps would make sense to switch for those who have higher amounts than me. In my case at this point not worth switching over $49 or so dollars a year.

    so whomever is interested:
    $2.59 + 10c per transaction
    Plus $15...

    So there is a theory that offering my 5 bedroom townhome also as a 2-3 bedroom during the offseason, expands your reach I would be happy to rent it at less just to not have it empty. Like $150 instead of $250 or so a night. you can always lock 2-3 bedrooms so they dont get messed up.

    that works if you live on premises and keep an eye and you have a B&B set up. Mine are fairly secluded mountain...

    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.

    Some answers:
