General Help and Questions » selling extra "experiences" or items

Yep, you can do this with an optional surcharge that the guest can choose during the reservation process. More on that: https://www.ownerrez.com/blog/add-ons-are-here--also-known-as-optional-surchar…

Feature Requests » Coupon Code?

A little birdy told me that we're looking into an initial version of discount codes, hopefully will be very soon!

General Help and Questions » avoiding double bookings between airbnb and vrbo

Yep, iCal is what you want here -- that will auto block off the calendars. We update every 30 minutes, channels tend to update several times a day but don't publish their schedules. Each channel API…

Feature Requests » Widget of amenities

Yep, that looks really good! Do you have any idea about a good icon pack for VR? That's the thing we've run up against in the past trying to do this -- there are a couple hundred amenities and for a…

General Help and Questions » kaba integration?

The limitation on Kaba is that you have to have your own Kaba account vs using an aggregator like A-Z Live or Secure Lodging Systems. This is a limitation on the Kaba end. They don't provide account…

Feature Requests » Coupon Code?

Yep, still on the list and getting closer :-) Right now you can either have them ask in an inquiry and apply the discount. Or you could do this with a landing page and a special widget: a) Go to Se…

General Help and Questions » New field needed? How to to alert cleaners about back to back cleanings?

Yep, that field is built for telling guests which days are available to be booked, not for staff to see days that are blocked. Have you considered giving the cleaners portal access accounts so they …

Feature Requests » Would like to see a "maximum days in advance" booking block for individual OTA's (ie limit VRBO to 90 days out, ABB to 120 etc)

Yep, you can do that with the API integrated channel settings but that requires the 5 property minimum for VRBO. We have contemplated doing something like this on the iCal, but iCal links are alread…

Not currently, quotes are first come first served. It is on our list.

Feature Requests » Custom Field Request - Upcoming Bookings Summary

This is a good thought! We are also looking at ways we can automate the reports better, perhaps scheduling an email with a report, or giving access in the portal. No ETA on any of that yet though.

Feature Requests » Touchstay

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.

General Help and Questions » Channel Bridge/API question

What is the error you're getting? If you log out of VRBO and clear your browser cookies/cache, then log back in and run channel bridge, does it work?

Feature Requests » Z-Wave Lock integration

We don't have any way to integrate with z-wave locks directly yet. We do integrate with RemoteLock and they have the capability to access z-wave locks through Vera.

General Help and Questions » Review Widget - No Reviews Found

Go to Guests > Reviews -- looks like they are all marked not to be shown right now. Use the checkbox to select them all and then hit the Show button up top and that should fix the issue.

General Help and Questions » BDC - credit card

Yep, the configuration there is a bit complex. If booking.com passes a booking.com payment setting to us on the booking, that will override the credit card required setting on the OwnerRez settings.

Feature Requests » Report for Cleaners

Great idea, we will add it to the list!
