Color-coded calendar, Direct subscription updates, Buffers and more...

📆 Color-coded calendar

Have you updated your Hospitable calendar with the new channel color scheme? Based on popular demand, we now color reservations based on the booking channel.
Because change can be scary, we let you control the update by clicking the Try Now button at the bottom of your calendar. If you're curious, we used Airbnb's secondary color teal, instead of pink, because the pink was not working. Trust us.

💳 Direct sites and widgets will require a Direct subscription

From September 15th, we require an active Basic, Premium, or Lite subscription to have a published Direct site or booking widget. Direct Lite is a new option for customers in markets that are not supported by Stripe.

🔓 Set buffers in minutes

Smart lock buffers can now be set in minutes, in addition to hours. Buffers are useful to add a little bit of cushion before and after a check-in or check-out time, so that if a guest arrives a few minutes early, or checks out a few minutes late they can still use their code. You can set a buffer you're comfortable with in Settings > Smart locks.

✈️ FlightAware cancelled

We had an integration with FlightAware that wasn't delivering a lot of value. In the interest of removing distractions and focusing on things that matter, we have removed the integration from our Apps page.
