    Kaba for Individual Locks, Airbnb Rate Testing, new PM Owner features, and much more!
    1 year ago

    ...e I'm on the product team, I get to share upcoming product news every now and again. One of those things I'm really excited about is that we're working on overhauling the OwnerRez "Guest Forms." Good stuff!

    In the meantime, because it's a large overhaul, we know we needed to handle cell phones differently on the current forms. The cell phone field is first and that way if people have one number, it's...

    Adjust rate change logic
    1 year ago

    ...e a pricing tool, integrated, those rates change daily, regardless of whether they’re actually booked or not. This leads to big consistency issues in price adjustment. It often tries to do some crazy stuff and I have to manually change rates more often than I accept the new OR generated charges. I see others complain about this a lot in the unofficial OR FB group and would like to see this addressed.

    We'll keep our eye on all the new 3DS2 stuff, but if you see something that seems off, let us know right away! Even if you're not a European merchant, keep an eye on your Stripe settings and processing history in OwnerRez and let us know if so...

    ...channels and more channel related feature throughout the rest of the year and into 2019.

    As vacation rental owners ourselves we're salivating over the possiblities and can't wait to get all of this stuff done! The current roadmap starts with booking.com content push, then into VRBO/HomeAway and Airbnb content push (both via channel bridge for everyone and direct integrations for 5+ property users). A...

    ...pensing.  In the future, we will sync these fees and deposits with QuickBooks as well.  If you use Converge or some of the others, you probably won't get that for a while if ever.

    Just some other stuff to keep in mind.  The processing fee % isn't everything.

    Yep, we're in talks with them, but waiting for them to build an API before we can do integration other than the email stuff you're using now.

    No discount codes yet, but still very important on our To Do list. We keep getting MORE important stuff that pushes it back (right now the big important thing is our Airbnb API integration) but we do care about it and plan to release it.

    Thanks. I was meaning that the only issue with direct integration is the calendar looking kind of stuff. All the other Communications and functionality work on all the OTAs?

    We've got some enhancements for walled gardens planned for later this year -- stuff like parsing the booking and payment notifications so we can populate charges and payments, a guest "checkout" that would accept their email address and have them sign your renter agreement, etc. As...

    Cool stuff.
    It would be great if you had a special way to deal with the ridiculous VRBO/HA service fee as it would always be removed from what we actually get out of the down payment.
    Thanks for the hard work you guys do.

    Thanks for the feedback! We're continuing to develop our strategy on managing email, inbox/outbox stuff, and that's very helpful!

    In the meantime, we've put email history under Tools so you have a quick link to get back there.

    I think the minimum price setting takes care of them going too low, but I've never used it.

    Marinas Edge, have you gotten higher prices with the smart stuff turned on? Or does it always tend to hit your minimum?

    @Valerie - I think it's best to post requests for feature changes in the other forum, makes it easier for the OR team to not overlook it.

    I agree with your comments, there is a lot of value in keeping short term rental stuff all in one place.

    6 years ago

    We include a bunch of extra stuff like UnitNumber in the Channel Bridge export, but that's not currently used anywhere in OwnerRez.

    Right now, the mapping is based off of ListingNumber and you can set that mapping in the property settings of the synced channel.

    ...out a difference of $50 per month which more than covers whatever the gateway is monthly.

    When you say invoicing and pre-scheduled, are you talking about outside of VR bookings? For vacation rental stuff, we provide an invoice (quote) for guests and do payment schedules - does that not work for your needs? I guess that's the thing that it comes down to ultimately since it dictates what all processor...

    I do not know where you get 3.5% for square. it is 2.9% for non swiped non keyed (invoiced).

    yes I mean for one off stuff. for example, my AirBnB or VRBO renter who already paid via VRBO or AIRBNB wants to add an extra night to their stay. I do not do that via AirBNB or VRBO, I just invoice them for extra night cost via Square. or sometimes I have VRBO renter who booked via VRBO and paid deposit via...
