I’d love to see a feature in OwnerRez that allows surcharges to be automatically added or removed based on the presence of a discount code. This enhancement would streamline workflows and offer greater flexibility in managing fees, saving time and effort for owners and managers.
Suggested Implementation:
The functionality could be integrated into the existing Conditions section of the Surcharge options. Specifically:
- Add a condition for "Discount Code" with the options:
- "is one of" (select specific discount codes)
- "is anything but" (exclude specific discount codes).
- A selectable list of active discount codes would be provided, similar to other existing options like property, season, or listing site.
When a discount code is applied that matches the condition, the specified surcharge could either be added or removed automatically.
Potential Use Cases:
This feature could be incredibly useful for a variety of scenarios, such as:
- Fee Waivers
- Automatically remove service fees, admin fees, management fees, or other charges for specific discount codes (e.g., owner stays, family/friends bookings).
- Custom Cleaning Fees
- Replace the standard cleaning fee with a reduced rate for certain discount codes (e.g., owner stays).
- Pet Fee Adjustments
- Waive or adjust pet fees for specific guest types (e.g., family members traveling with pets).
Why This Feature Matters:
Currently, I have to manually adjust fees on bookings after a discount code is applied, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Automating this process would:
- Save time by eliminating the need for manual fee adjustments.
- Reduce the risk of forgetting to apply the right surcharge changes.
- Enhance the booking experience for family, friends, or special guests by ensuring the correct charges are automatically reflected.
This seems like a relatively simple addition that would provide significant flexibility and value for a wide range of use cases. It aligns well with OwnerRez's focus on automation and efficiency.
If you’d find this feature helpful too, please upvote! Thanks for considering this suggestion.
