A platform view that shows properties in a grid, rather than a single column sidebar.
With dozens of properties, we'd like to have an ability to display all properties at once, or at least a larger (customizable) number with pagination.

Add “Referral Source” as a Required Field for Direct Booking Inquiries
Description:
Add an option in the Hostfully Direct Booking Site settings to create a required custom field asking “Who referred you to our rental?” during the initial inquiry or booking request process. This would ensure property managers can track referral sources without relying on optional fields or follow-up messages.Why This Matters:
• Helps property managers identify successful referral channels.
• Supports referral programs and marketing ROI tracking.
• Improves lead quality by gathering valuable info at the first point of contact.Suggested Implementation:
• Allow admins to create a custom “Referral Source” field.
• Option to mark the field…2 votes -

Allow booking request outside booking lead time (Direct Bookings)
It ill be great to have a DBS button the same way it works for Airbnb. This is because we're a business who work in business hours. We have instant booking setup in general but after a certain time in the day, it becomes more complicated to accept a last-minute guest. They should be able to submit requests too.

Differentiate the "Additional charge option" from the "Security deposit" on the checkout page
We used the “Additional Charge” feature, but on the checkout page, next to the security deposit it says (refundable). The security deposit is not actually included in the amount they pay upfront, so it is technically not “refundable.” Many guests contact us to ask when they will receive a refund of their security deposit and we have to explain to them that it was never paid, but is just an additional charge option we have after checkout if needed. Guests are often disappointed to realize this, thinking they were going to get $500 back of what they had already paid.

Direct booking site URLs should escape "unsafe" or "unwise" characters per RFC 3986
The URLs that are built for the Direct Booking site MUST escape characters that are considered "unsafe". This includes the pipe character ( | ), which is pretty commonly used in page titles as a separator that doesn't take up much space.
If these are not escaped, Google Travel will NOT accept the weblink. For example, one of our listings has this for the direct URL:
That should escape the | to %7C:

Make Direct Booking site pricing details editable- Units section (not frontpage)
Not being able to modify DBS price display for Units once you click from frontpage shows an average price which is higher than half of our year and can turn away guests that are looking for lower prices. This is misleading guests.
It should be exactly the same as the units that show on the front page.

Change Book Now option to Continue.
Change the text on the button from "Book now" to "Continue". The latter is a more friendly and approachable option.

Change how the order summary shows on payment link
At the moment, the system is designed to display the rent and fees breakdown in sections. On the order page, we will find sections that outline the rental cost, taxes, and any additional fees, as well as the total amount. The bolded sections represent the total amount, and the breakdown will be listed under each section.
However, if we have only 1 fee under the Fees section. It will be showing like the guests are being charged twice. While the math is correct, the customer experience of seeing two line items for fees is compromising the experience.

Improve "minimum price rule" logic
When activated, the minimum price rule does not seem to generate the desired prices.
We have a 2-night minimum across the portfolio, but choose to activate the "minimum price rule" so that website users can choose a 1-night stay if they are willing to pay the 2-night rate. However, the price shown for a 1-night stay always seems to be higher (sometimes significantly higher) than the price for the same stay extended to 2-nights. Something is off.

include SD in total showing at the booking page
For now, we're advised by Cedric that the Security deposit is not included in the total amount on the order page but when guests click Book now button > lead to process the payment > they will need to pay the correct amount with SD included. The reason why we don't include the SD is to avoid having a large total, but guests still need to pay for it.
That is not an acceptable reason as it's still misleading to the guests. Why include the SD in the breakdown if you're not going to include it in the total. We…
