Feature Requests » Template Fields for Agreement, info guest needs to ADD

Yes, you've all figured out the right way to do this: Create a custom field for "Guest List", that's tagged as required. It will be presented to the guest as part of the booking process, or as part…

Feature Requests » Ribbon feature

I'd make the same assumption you do - that a cleaning is needed after every booking. Not sure why a special indicator would be required.

[quote=Valerie R] It IS interesting that Airbnb allows accounts with only one listing to use the channel manager, AND Airbnb still processes the guest payments; Airbnb does not allow the host to proc…

General Help and Questions » Question about the "Listing Site Conversion" report

I took a look at your account, and I think the problem here is that your Custom Sources are misconfigured. You have a bunch of names entered, but no domain names for OwnerRez to detect and identify,…

General Help and Questions » Discount codes

Yes, that's one of the criteria you can set for the discount code - what sites it is valid on. Make sure you've set up a custom source for your website: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/cu…

General Help and Questions » converting

Really, *you* don't want to convert the quote to a booking - you want your guest to do that, by accepting the quote and making a payment. Here's more information on how that works, and what to do if…

General Help and Questions » Month Abbreviation Format

Oh. Well, I'm not a lawyer, but as I recall from my b-school law classes, I think it's pretty unlikely that the presence or absence of an abbreviatory period would make any difference in any sane ju…

General Help and Questions » Month Abbreviation Format

Not sure what you're referring to, or how the presence or absence of a month abbreviation period would affect a contract. Maybe you posted this comment on the wrong thread?

General Help and Questions » Month Abbreviation Format

Being a bit of a grammar pedant myself, I do sympathize with your desire to properly signify the abbreviation. But I don't think the engineers would consider this to be a particularly urgent matter …

General Help and Questions » Month Abbreviation Format

Email templates are already Rich Text Editors, so yes, you can set CSS inside of them as I've described above. Properly done, this CSS would apply to anything in the resulting email, including the d…

Strictly speaking, you *can* use CSS within custom fields. **WARNING TO OTHER READERS** - you can REALLY mess things up doing this if you don't know what you are doing. CSS is very complicated, wit…

General Help and Questions » SCHEDULING API CHANNELS FOR RATE INCREASES OR DECREASES

Right now, OwnerRez has no ability to schedule anything by time of day, other than recording approved checkin and checkout times. We're hoping to add that later this year. It is possible to create …

General Help and Questions » combining calendars for multiple OR properties?

It's not quite that smart. :-) From the perspective of OwnerRez and your listing sites, A, B, and C are each independent properties, with their own set of rates and rules. So you can easily config…

General Help and Questions » Exported calendar to google calendar, but showing wrong check in time

The OwnerRez iCal calendar feed is sent with its timezone set - in your case, to Eastern time. I was suggesting that *your own* calendar might have its timezone incorrect, and it sounded like that's…
