Booking.com SCA Requirements
As an agency that lists vacation rentals on Booking.com, I want to ensure that the payment flow is SCA compliant. Right now, some payments from guests fail due to the integration not handling 3D Secure authentication and is not SCA compliant.

Booking lead time / % at reservation customizable per channel
Integrated partners with VRBO and booking.com are forced to be the merchant of record but also forced to be instabook. This leaves no time to vet your guest. This is a receipt for fraud! The booking lead times should should be able to be set per platform. Moreover, the % due at reservation should also include a category to pay the remaining % "x" days AFTER the RESERVATION is made.
8 votesWe are scoping out the effort to set booking lead time separately for Booking.com.

Support seasonal cancellation policies
VRBO has a new feature where you can have different cancellation policies for different times of the year. How to a use this feature with Hostfully. VRBO won't let me edit the cancellation policy. It would be great to have ability to create cancellation policies for different period.

Booking.com commission saved on lead level
Currently, BDC commission is only tied to the transaction level and the transaction must be processed by a payment processor. This means that reservations paid through payment by booking.com (PBB) or outside of the Hostfully system and manually entered into PMP will not show the commission in the report. I am requesting that the BDC commission be based on the lead level, so that it is always present regardless of payment status or method.

Use Vrbo as a Merchant of Record
Using a channel manager has made things for difficult for me. I now have to handle security deposits, rejected payments, credit card fraud issues, collect- file - pay occupancy tax etc. All this was done by VRBO before I had a channel manager. Can you please get an arrangement with VRBO like you do with Airbnb that they will still provide those services even though we are using you.
7 votesWe are currently looking into this exact implementation where Vrbo will remain the merchant of record for connected PMs. Not that this work has a dependency on Vrbo and the APIs they are planning to provide in 2024 to support this.

VRBO Custom Rules
Allow setting custom rules on VRBO. Currently no custom rule settings push to the VRBO listing and if rules are entered on VRBO instead, Hostfully overrides the changes and deletes them. VRBO is now charging hosts that cancel bookings due to rule or local regulation violations and we cannot enforce rules that are not communicated to guests. We have incurred $400 in fees this week due to this issue.

Don't push "Public name" of master listing to Booking titles of sub-units if they are different Property IDs
I have different property IDs for master and sub-units, but still want to keep their master-sub relation in Hostfully. It would be great if we don't push Public name of the master listing as property title of my sub-units when they are connected in different property IDs.

Allow Booking.com requests to require approval.
Currently we can limit the instant booking per property for AirBNB, VRBO and direct bookings. I'd love it if we could add this to Booking.com (BDC) to prevent last minute reservations. We have been having a lot of policy/payment issues with BDC that come in the middle of the night. I would use BDC if we could limit the last minute instant guests who have issues.
7 votesHello, a new Booking.com API is now available to allow for request approval for bookings made within 3 days of the check-in date. This will be implemented soon.

Have ability to create blocks applied on specific channel
I want to block off dates on some channels didn't know if I could choose specific channels.
For instance, NYE is a big night for us, I would love to only allow direct bookings to book vs all channels...especially the ones where we have to pay such commissions on.6 votesThis would indeed be a great feature and we've been considering it for a while - likely to happen in the near future.

Minimum stay at channel level
As I am in a municipal that Airbnb is the only registered platform with the city to accept any booking under 30 days, I still want the opportunity which I can list at other OTAs, but instead of that, I would need the option to list 30days+ in other OTAs.

Integrate directly with Hotels.com
I'd like to integrate directly with Hotels.com from Hostfully to ensure my properties are listed there and not be charged commission through channel partners.

Split "Transit" into Getting Around (public) and Directions (post-booking details) for Airbnb
As a PM, I would like to share certain transit information on the public listing and more specific how-to in the directions shared only with confirmed booking guests.
"Transit" section Hostfully is mapped to both Getting Around (public) and Directions (only shared after booking is confirmed) on Airbnb. The purpose for these fields are very different. "directions" may have more exact details about getting to the home, which is quite different from a public-facing "Getting Around" section
So they should be separated.

Customize the availability on different channels
As a PM, I would like to be able to block dates on all the OTAs except the direct booking site.
The ability to customize the availability on different channels should be possible.
6 votesThis is a feature we have been planning to support for a while. We'll keep you posted as the analysis for it moves along.

It appears the transit field is mapping to directions field in airbnb which is completely different scope between the 2 platforms.
I did and they said it was a platform issue. It’s grayed out and cannot be updated in Airbnb. I’ll just have to remove the info for now to get around it and try between the 2 systems to display best info to guests.

Custom cancellation policy for Booking.com
We use Stripe. Booking.com (BDC) payment timeline depends on the cancellation policy. I want to add "Custom" cancellation policy as an option for BDC to allow us to withhold payment processing fees for cancellations. Without this, we don't have a way to withhold payment processing fees and must refund them.
5 votesThe cancellation policy for BCOM is currently set on the channel detail page for all properties. You will soon be able to set it on the property detail page, thus choosing a potentially different cancellation policy for each property.

Support Non-XML plans for Booking.com
I would like to have the opportunity to set non-XML plans for my Booking.com properties via API. We need weekly and monthly rate plans as they are great revenue generators.
