General Help and Questions » Is there a way to set min stay only for weekends?

We have to add it first :-) Does that simple scenario work for what you need?

General Help and Questions » Emails not Sending

We did some maintenance earlier this morning and emails were queued for a bit. They should all now be sent. Does it look correct on your end now?

Feature Requests » Add Long Term Rental Feature

OwnerRez is oriented around short term rentals, but there's nothing keeping you from making longer term bookings in the system, or multiple one month bookings depending on how you want to do it. You …

No, not currently. We have some plans to add logic based fields eventually, but there's a lot of detail there.

General Help and Questions » Is there a way to set min stay only for weekends?

Not currently, but that's a great idea. How would the details work? We've bounced around a couple of ideas here, with the simplest being a weekend min nights rule that kicks in if Friday or Saturday …

Blog » More Gallimaufry

Yep, the payment data import is only as good as the data HomeAway provides. It sounds like they've improved it over time, so it might be worth reviewing their sheet again to see if its right. If you…

We're now well into Fall, with the nights longer and the mornings crisper. Leaves are changing to brilliant colors, or perhaps already have. The perfect time for our monthly Gallimaufry. Gallimau…

General Help and Questions » Is there any way NOT to prorate holiday rates on split weekly stays?

Yep, we looked into this and it's going to take a code change to fix. Basically what happens is that prorate takes into account all seasons by default. So we need to add a "only prorate inside this s…

General Help and Questions » Zelle

Yep, ZELLE is very cool! I wish they had an API we could hook into to integrate directly. The best way to offer that in OwnerRez is to add a Custom Instructions payment method and add instructions o…

General Help and Questions » Rental agreement - AirBNB

Both agreements technically match Airbnb -- an "All Listing Sites" and an "Only Airbnb". Since the priority for the All agreement (20) is higher than the Airbnb agreement (10), the All agreement is c…

General Help and Questions » Is there a work around to have all a guest's info import into OR from a VRBO booking?

Not yet, but we're working on an importer for their reservation export that will be out in a few weeks.

Go to the rate and select "same or more number of nights" under proration. More here: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/rate-engine#proration I see you have some at All and some at Extra rig…

How does that work without being confusing, though? If you show the guest pays but don't show how it breaks down to the owner amount and commission, the owner is going to ask why the guest paid * 45…

Just saw this one, sorry for the delay! What if you set the week rate for the holiday period to prorate up only and put a night rate in? Does that get what you want?

General Help and Questions » Airbnb request for contact info (real email address) and signed renter agreement

I double checked @BlueMtnCabins setup and it looks correct, with a trigger and template going out to the @guest.airbnb.com email address. When you get in contact with the guest through other means do…

Hmm, that's a good point on financials. Maybe we need two levels for that, full financials and owner only. What items make sense to show under Owner Only? There are a lot of numbers so it needs to be…

@BlueMtnCabins... good point on the how's. Most of the new features are automatically added. I just wrote up an article with more details on legal agreements here: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/ar…

General Help and Questions » recorded payment is not reflected in outstanding balance?

I updated the booking so the $300 factored in, so that is correct now. We're looking into the issue to make sure it doesn't happen again.
