    Instant Book vs. Request-to-Book
    3 months ago

    These days, many guests are used to ordering stuff online with no human interaction. They expect the same for booking their vacations - they want to be able to just fill out a form, provide their credit card, click OK a few times, and bam! They're booked.

    Some property owners want more personal interaction with their guests, though, and do not want to allow Instant Booking. Let's see how you can cont...

    Channel Bridge- " Bridge of Sighs"..
    5 years ago

    I HATE the process in place for the channel bridge...yes, it's probably just me...we go to the extension ( since chrome upgrade those are hidden, btw, and cannot figure out how to get them on my small tablet). Why can't we put all channel bridge "stuff" on one page instead of the extension...then the download...then go to another page to upload...awful.

    JTVRs in response to: OpenEdge - I DO NOT recommend!
    5 years ago

    Online transactions like vacation rentals, especially card not present, are probably in the high risk category. Think Lynbrook specialized in VRs. Maybe openedge not. This kind of stuff may only get worse.

    Paul W in response to: Setting up a new unit - what sequence to follow
    5 years ago

    Good question. I'd set it up in OwnerRez but not the listing content (descriptions, amenities, photos, location stuff). Then put a basic property record in place so that you can play with it and get rates right or whatever else. Then later fill out your VRBO listing and import that into OwnerRez. If you move to our HomeAway API coming up, we can push your OwnerRez property data into VRBO directly a...

    Paul W in response to: VRBO downloads now called HomeAway? Duplicating data?

    We are looking into this. A recent change to Channel Bridge was made to help with HomeAway logins and it looks like we may be classifying all VRBO stuff as HomeAway now. This is pending.

    ...sion, I'd set Rent and Total columns to the Total (your column D) and leave the Surcharge/Discount etc columns blank and and then set the HostFee to the commission amount.
    - Host fee is used to track stuff like booking site commissions so it's not exactly matching a management fee but it's the best way to keep those separate. If you put in a discount, you'd end up with a lower total showing up in repor...

    ...r 2, the agency only gets commission on 2. TAs sort of take it in the shirt either way, but it is how it has historically been done.

    Vrbo really shouldn't be able to grab additional commission on stuff not booked through them. Maybe the OR team needs to go back to Vrbo and bring this up in light of how commissions work with other parts of the travel industry? Ultimately, it's OR that reports the re...
