Updates to the booking screen will now be going live.
The updates include redesign and added functionality.
We have worked hard to simplify the booking screen, however, any redesign will mean some changes which may mean you have to familiarise yourself with the new screen.
Added Features
Door Code:
A door code can now be added to the booking. This could be door codes to your apartment or a safe. A tag has been added so this will automatically be added to email correspondence with your guests. You will be able to add this tag to your email templates.
You will find the door code in the notes and additional information area of the booking screen.
Payment Security:
You will now be able to see the security levels of your payments.
Icons have been added indicating the different security levels your payment has been through. The most secure payments will have all 4 levels of security passed.
A separate update on best practice to make sure you have the highest level of payment security will follow.
The update is available for Stripe and Breathepayment users.
American Express Payments:
You can now verify and store American Express cards for a booking.
To verify cards:
- Click Add Card
- Enter the guest details
- Select the Verify from the Card Action dropdown
- Click Verify and Save
If you verify a card it will not pass the 3D secure process which allows you all 4 levels of security. Only payment link request will complete the 3D secure process and protect your payment from any chargeback disputes.
Payment Status:
Payment Icons have been added to the status bar making it easier to see the current status of your transaction. A full list of the icons will be explained in the best practice update to follow.
Booking Settings:
Booking settings is a new drop-down for the booking screen.
Booking settings will be the new area where you can switch on different settings for the booking like taxes and covid VAT rates. This area will grow with new settings as the software improves and develops.
The update will go live within the next 24 hours.
Thank you,
