The best way is to brand the RA with your signature. You already agree to it obviously, so then you just need the guest signature.

Another alternative is to use the Request e-Signature link yourself to sign a copy of the agreement (and make sure not to update the guest contact info). Then you'll have two separate signed copies, one for your signature and one for the guest's signature.

Don't use it currently, but are there any quality cheap QB alternatives?

My rental agreement states the RA isn't binding until both guest and owner sign and guest makes initial payment. How can I as owner sign the document?

Would like to have a method as the owner to electronically sign, so that it looks similar to the info captured for the guest (time/date stamp + IP address)

I'm curious how anyone would choose to use QB online. When I've looked at pricing it's $30/month for a year, then $60/month afterwards, and those prices are per entity.

I use quickbooks desktop for 3 entities, so my eventual cost would be $180/month which is vastly more than the cost of QB desktop (maybe $125/year with updgrading every other year)

I think homeaway did an A/B test on this

fwiw - I'm of the opinion that showing the multiple lines for taxes is a benefit. Few guests would ever know the tax rates, and seeing a large number like 12.7% probably leads some people to think the number is inflated. Whereas seeing each line item lends credibility because it's very specific, and checkable if anyone wants to do that.

Not arguing, this is in the grey zone for figuring out how guests think, just my $.02 contribution ;-)

For sure. Thanks for the nudge, Adam.

I would like to revive this and say that this feature is still needed. Simplifying the entire experience for guests is always best.

No current plans for direct integration with QuickBooks desktop. We do have some users doing that by using the booking, payment, line item/lineitem pivot detail reports, exporting them to Excel, and then importing to QuickBooks desktop.

Is there a plan to integrate with desktop? The article I read said online only.

No firm ETA on that yet. Thanks for checking back, but it was delayed because of some other ongoing dev work. SMS as well.

Hi Fenwick,

You an have it sent any number of DAYS before arrival (or after created or departure) but triggers are sent once per day. We are working on adding hour of the day and time zone support so that you can fine-tune when they are sent. The current trigger time goes out about 3 am EST every morning. It does not try again until 3am the next day.

When will the housekeeping module be available? Housekeeping reports are important! SMS notifications would work great.

Did you study the triggers section?

Can you have it sent at a certain time or just 1 day before. Some guests only stay for 1 day so I don't want them receiving both emails at the same time.

I send my check out reminder email 1 day before departure. Trigger by time "1 day before booking departed".

Could be, but still good to have direct bookings/hosted website in view.

You concatenate two fields in the title of the bedroom, perhaps that is a way to include floor?

I would love to be able to send an email just after checkin time and I would like to send an email early morning as a reminder of check out instructions. Is this a possibility as I know you were working on it before.

Thanks

That's a good idea... however, putting it into the name like you're doing will transfer over to OTA's while a custom field we add wouldn't.

Whether or not OTAs use it, for Rooms and Accommodations page - would be nice to have a Floor field/drop-down for Bedrooms and Bathrooms. This is a significant issue to disabled and older folks and it seems like a major aspect of a BR/BA...

I find myself typing it into the heading for each...

Yep, and a couple more ways:
- Go to the Year calendar view on bookings and choose "Color by listing site"
- Go to the Ribbon calendar view on bookings, filter it, and you can pick a specific listing site and the ones that don't match will show faded out

I see the ability to filter in Listing and Ribbon, but not in Month, which to me is a much better visual.

You can display them color coded. each channel different color. will that work? You can also go to Bookings > List, select filter, and filter by booking site

In the Booking Calender, I'd like to see my bookings per channel - so I can strip out any or all except one channel. Does this feature already exist, and I just don't know how to access it?

Hi Crystal, we've been delayed on the housekeeping module but you can set the Cleaning Date on the booking. Booking > Info tab > Change > set cleaning date. That then shows up in other places in the app.

Has any of this been made possible? How do you add the cleaning date confirmation info info the booking?

Thanks

With the ability to restrict access to seeing it!

It would be great to be able to add a note (to self, or to cleaners) to the booking calendar. For example "Stove repairman coming today", "Call maintenance", "Don't forget to call Joe", "Guest checking in early today", etc. Adding a note to a booking would not suffice, needs to be something that you see when you look at the monthly calendar or the ribbon. Of course, it should be something that doesn't block the date from being booked.

In the Amenities section, there is Property Type for AirBnb, HA, TripAdvbisor

It would be nice if Conference Center / Meeting Room was added as an option.

Hotels definitely have them, so do some larger short term rental facilities (yes, I have one).

Yep, that's the closest thing right now. We are working on a daily rate calendar for setting rates like Airbnb but that will be spot rates only not seasonal.
