General Help and Questions » Alternative to WorldPay?

I just threw that form up there for users that want to start applying early. Soon, we'll have a baked-in application page that you can use to start an application from within OwnerRez.

General Help and Questions » Security Deposit release problem

On the release page, if it fails to release, it will show you a Mark As Released button. Click that and it will force-release it in the system. If you can send us a ticket privately, we'll look int…

General Help and Questions » Alternative to WorldPay?

Ouch! That happens sometimes once a year when the big companies throw in "annual renewal" fees. Sometimes it's just a nonsense fee to purposefully push out smaller accounts they no longer want. We…

General Help and Questions » Some emails wrap, others don't

Are these emails all custom templates (ie. that you created from scratch) or emails that are sent from the system as a hard-coded notification? If they are custom templates, then it should be easy t…

General Help and Questions » Access to Back-End Data

Hi Rich, the webhooks we have are limited to specific partners only as they are really tailored to specific use cases. We've love to open that up for wider access but it would take a lot of time for…

[quote=Ross C]"draconian treatment of owners" They all seem to do that in one way or another.[/quote] For sure. The only one that doesn't appear to completely hate owners is Booking.com, but then …

General Help and Questions » Answer without quote

That's the "send me a copy" copy you are getting. The guest is getting one too. If you look at the outbound email (top Email menu) it will show you all the email going out, including ones to you an…

General Help and Questions » Is it possible to answer as quote only when available?

Sort of, yes. You can just not send the second quote email. You would change the "available" reply to use the same message body (same field codes, etc) as the quote email so that it looks the same. …

General Help and Questions » Flipkey/TripAdvisor

It must have changed, at least for the PMs that use our API integration. Even with one payment made, the contact info is shown (we have it in OR immediately) and you can email them.

Randy, we haven't partnered with any other cleaning apps specifically, but they could have used our API and built in integration on their end without us knowing. Jim and the guys at ResortCleaning a…

General Help and Questions » Flipkey/TripAdvisor

The PMs that have set up TA integration are getting inquiries and bookings for sure - there's a steady stream of them coming through per day/week - but it's definitely a lot less than in years past. …

General Help and Questions » Pushing rates

Make sure to set a "standard rate" on your period rates first. Or do that and then ask again. We found out that that was the holdup. If there is no standard rate, their code doesn't try to switch …

From the app side of things... Seems to be smooth overall. Their servers write to ours a couple times per day as needed. We have found them easy and straightforward to work with. There is one thi…

General Help and Questions » OwnerRez - Resort Cleaning App Interface Details

Hi Richard, Sorry for the delay in responding. My first thought is - you'd need to ask ResortCleaning that! I'm sure that's not the answer you're looking for. 🤪 Let me reach out to my contacts o…

General Help and Questions » is "VRBO service fee" have a field name?

Sorry for the delay in responding, BlueMtnCabins. That's a great technique - I love it! Use the {BTGUESTFEE} field code to insert the fees they paid. Couple caveats: 1) That will include all gues…
