This week, we're excited to announce several updates, including expanded support for tax collection and remittance in numerous states!

Additionally, we will stop updating this changelog page. You'll be able to find these product updates and many more on our changelog community page!

Security Deposits

Enhanced statuses for retrying deposit collection 🏦

  • You'll now see that the security deposits will display an updated status in the Inbox
  • When we notice card details fail, we'll automatically retry the collection flow, which was already happening, but now you will see the status displayed as "Retrying"
  • This new status ensures you have visibility into the retry process and keeps you up to date with your uncollected deposits
  • You can learn more about Security Deposits in these detailed help articles

Owner Payouts

Flexible payout scheduling for statements 📆

  • You can now schedule payouts for statements that have been published in the past
  • We've done this by separating the payout scheduling from the publishing of a statement, which used to be done in a single action
  • This will give you more flexibility when scheduling your payouts to owners

Metrics

Improved review metrics with filtering ⭐️

  • Reviews without ratings, like hidden Airbnb reviews, will now be excluded from your metrics and exports
  • You can now filter reviews by the platform name in the Exports page of Metrics, with platforms and review text displayed clearly
  • The Bad Reviews and 5-star Reviews widgets now display information in a more logical order, with date first, followed by property
