    The webinar linked above refers to changing a mutually blocked property change for an Airbnb booking, aka an Airbnb Alteration (https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/air-inquiries-and-stuff#specialoffers) , which is a separate process, but the process remains the same in OwnerRez

    To change that in OwnerRez, we recommend the following process.

    These days, many guests are used to ordering stuff online with no human interaction. They expect the same for booking their vacations - they want to be able to just fill out a form, provide their credit card, click OK a few times, and bam! They're booked.

    Some property owners want more personal interaction with their guests, though, and do not want to allow Instant Booking. Let's see how you can cont...

    We are changing it to use the name.  The feedback on that has been overwhelming and the use case is pretty obvious.  The OwnerRez engineer working on lock stuff is already actively working on putting that in place.

    ...r 2, the agency only gets commission on 2. TAs sort of take it in the shirt either way, but it is how it has historically been done.

    Vrbo really shouldn't be able to grab additional commission on stuff not booked through them. Maybe the OR team needs to go back to Vrbo and bring this up in light of how commissions work with other parts of the travel industry? Ultimately, it's OR that reports the re...

    Before Inbox cleanup, we've had to clean up messaging features (like Autoresponder) and work our way through some of the side features so that we can get to the main stuff.  That, too, has already been underway for a while.

    Our PM system has a large V2 about to drop that we've been working on for 2 years which changes a number of significant things around commissio...

    Surely there’s some way we could turn on a fee calculation that auto populates for VRBO bookings. This repetitive manual stuff is so 2010.

    So what will happen is all of a sudden all of your stuff will update, both the waiting changes from before and the full resync.

    I just went through all the steps and spoke to Namecheap and they got all my DNS stuff connected, etc.  Everything is showing good.

    So.... do I change my email to my business email now?  Or do I leave everything in my account as my @gmail.com? 

    I guess I'm just a little confused how everything needs to be set up. 

     

    Thanks!!
