There is not currently a way to record that they've signed an outside agreement, no. However, you can upload the file and associate it with the booking. Just go to the Files tab of the Booking - yo…

General Help and Questions » HOUFY

There's not much demand for integration with HOUFY that would justify a full API. You can however import and export the calendars: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/channel-management-calen…

Hmm. Are you able to send this in to the Helpdesk, with screenshots to compare? That'll make it easier for us to run down what's going on.

Feature Requests » Owner Profile

We're working on what amounts to tag-cloud functionality. It's available to us internally for some entities (like client accounts, which you can't see). When we've tested and wrung it out a bit, it…

Feature Requests » Is there a way to add a note or flag to a date on the ribbon calendar?

I know it was me that answered you before, but I'm a little confused by my own answer. Maybe I'm just getting old. :-) There is still no way to add random notes to the calendar. But - if you have…

General Help and Questions » VRBO Integrated listings & their new "Health & Safety" fields

This new area is actually not supported by the VRBO API at all yet, so there is no way for you to control it from OwnerRez. Fortunately, VRBO designed it well - if our API feed doesn't provide updat…

I have done so. I expect you'll hear from them before too long. Please update us with the resolution! It's not impossible that you've run into a bug of some sort, or some other random glitch as is…

FYI, I talked to our contacts at PerfectPrice. They think they found you in their logs and will be reaching out. Or, if it's OK with you, I can give them your contact information so they can know f…

General Help and Questions » Homeaway API rates pushing

Yes! It looks like you'd set up a special "VRBO/Homeaway Commissions" surcharge. This works exactly as you've described - the surcharge is applied, but it is specifically called out. We don't reco…

General Help and Questions » Not Receiving Inquiries from VRBO with API

Yes. Generally, using the API does not alter the underlying facts: we don't get real email addresses from potential guests making inquiries. We only get proxy emails, which filter out any links or …

General Help and Questions » Will iCal push an ABnB reservation it downloaded and push it to VRBO?

You can set up OwnerRez to do that for you automatically. You do have to do the initial setup though. https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/airbnb-request-for-contact-info-real-email-address-an…

General Help and Questions » Not Receiving Inquiries from VRBO with API

Yes, we recommend to use the VRBO (and Airbnb) messaging system, not OwnerRez, to reply to inquiries. Use OwnerRez once the guest makes a booking. https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/inquirie…

I'm afraid not - we don't have any special insight into their pricing. Wouldn't hurt to ask them though, they may know what their 2021 pricing will be already.

Years ago Stripe did, but they stopped offering new accounts with that feature a long time ago, and earlier this year they took it away from those who already had it. We are not aware of any provide…
