General Help and Questions » Book Now for 1 property and Send Inquiry only for other

The old payment structure back in 2016 was a per booking fee. That hasn't been in effect for years -- it's all per property now: https://www.ownerrez.com/pricing

General Help and Questions » Booking/inquiry widget shows 20 adults 10 children
