Weekly product updates

Exciting updates across the board, especially for Direct and Owner Statement users!
​

Direct

Reviews on Direct sites 🪄

• We are now showing reviews from Airbnb on Direct sites helping you convert more bookings
• It's currently only for sites using the City and Clean templates (more to come)
• A maximum of 2 reviews are shown on the home or property page
• Sorting is chronological, so the most recent reviews are shown, and we'll only pull your 5-star reviews
• You can explore this interactive guide to see how guests will see reviews on your Direct site

Dynamic payout route calculation 🏦

• We used to hardcode bank routing based on country code, which would sometimes fail with cross-border payouts
• We've now improved how we route cross-border payouts to get you paid faster and more reliably

Hosts can create custom quotes on blocked days 📅

• We used to prevent hosts from creating custom quotes if the dates were blocked
• We will now differentiate between hard blocks (e.g. reservations, unpriced dates) and soft blocks (e.g. closed for check-in/check-out, blocked dates)
• You'll be warned when dates are blocked but will still be allowed to create the custom quote, as long as there isn’t a conflicting reservation

Owner Statements

Transactions can now handle credits to the owner 💳

• When a host adds a transaction, they can now select Expense (default) or Credit
• If Credit is selected, the category option becomes Reimbursement, and the amount of the credit will be owed to the owner
• Hosts can do this if they owe money to the Owner for any reason (e.g. damages were covered by AirCover for a booking)
• Expenses and Credits both show as transactions on the statement and are summed to get a total

API and Integrations

New connected apps page 🔌

• Users reported certain apps still pushing data through to Hospitable, even though they stopped using the other third-party app
• We now have a page where you can see all your apps that are connected to Hospitable
• We've implemented the ability to disconnect an app that you no longer need
• This new page can be found under the Apps section in Hospitable

Check In Check Out restriction in the API 🔑

• We now support the ability to update the calendar check-in and check-out restrictions using the API
• We are also returning this information in the get calendar API as well

General

Updated how we display property tags 🏷

• We've truncated the list of tags that are shown in the properties list and the thread header
• If there are more than 5 tags, the user will see a "+ # more tags" link
• When clicked, it will display all of the tags associated in alphabetical order
