Allow potential guests to get quote without putting in email, etc.
Currently, guests must put their name and email to be able to get a quote. This is prohibiting business as it is easier to go to Airbnb or VRBO to run numbers on homes...and then they may find a different home. I would love the option to be able to turn this feature off and only collect guest information when they actually book. Thank you for your consideration.
10 votesPotential guests can already view a full quote without entering any information. They just need to click on the Show Details link below the widget.

QR Codes for Direct Booking Site
It would be helpful to have a QR code to display in our homes so guests can scan and book again, directly on our website.
I understand you have a QR code for the guidebooks, so why not for the websites?5 votesAs per the comment below, there are multiple free online tools allowing you to create QR codes for any website or URL. Closing this.

Able to add the e-gift card into the payment process.
we would like is to allow hostfully to process a payment, i imagine hostfully would need to add an area to keep the gift card purchase on the booking page, rather than using square to process pymt and taking guest off the page

A Mesh of Reviews - Direct, Airbnb, VRBO
I have a wish list for you. I'd love it if you guys could team up with https://elfsight.com/all-in-one-reviews-widget/ and let them be able to use our reviews. 98% of my reviews are from Airbnb or VRBO so I don't use Hostfully's. However this link above offers a mesh set of reviews coming in from different platforms. This way I could show my direct booking reviews along with Airbnb & VRBO. I've been using Elfsight.com for years showing my reviews. Here's a listing were you can see my Airbnb reviews on my direct booking website via Hostfully's widgets (near the bottom…

Handling pet fees in booking process
Airbnb now allows you to charge a pet fee as does VRBO. But the hostfully calendar widget you have for your direct booking website does not allow you to select a pet to your reservation. In the "Policies and Fees" tab in Hostfully lets you select "applies to hostfully" andbut this will AUTOMATICALLY charge the pet fee to EVERY guest. It does not let your guests select is they are bringing a pet or not. If you click "is optional" is still does not give the option for guest to pick a pet or not.

Direct Booking Widget Adds Security Deposit to total scaring guests away at the top
We have a widget for our website so guests can put in their dates and can automatically book or get a quote. Once you put in your dates the widget calculates the total and it will say "$850 total for 4 nights" for instance. This total includes the security deposit which skus what the guest believes the nightly rate costs and other fees. I think ti would be helpful to either have the break down open up instead of just to the total. OR say the total and say + security deposit. For example "$350 total for 4 nights plus…
10 votesThe booking widget does not add the security deposit to the total shown at top. It does show the total minus the security deposit.

The ability to Rebook guests for different dates
We often get repeat customers or customers who have cancelled and now wish to rebook.We would like to be able to Re-Book them for new dates so we don't have to re-enter their information (emails, phone numbers etc) each time. At present when you select rebook it automatically rebooks them for dates that have already past. Very frustrating

Protection against fake inquiries
It seems I have been getting more fake inquiries from bots when I post our direct book link in social media posts. It would be nice if we could have an extra layer of protection from bots.
4 votesThe system provides ways to automatically mark fake inquiries as "Duplicate" and an action to "Ignore" inquiries you deem non relevant.

Display Discounted / Fixed Monthly Pricing - Airbnb "Long Term Stays"
Airbnb allows you set a discounted monthly rental price for anyone shopping out 30+ nights or more. This discounted price is incredibly appealing for prospective guests to consider when renting out a month or more stay.
Currently the direct booking site only allows a view for a SUM of all nightly rates. You can imagine how large this number can appear if a guest is booking out for say, 78 nights.
In COVID environment we are seeing a ton of long term guests who are able to work remotely. By enabling a discounted monthly rate we can more effectively capture…

Ability to Create Multiple Search Widgets
There's a use case where a client may want to create individual web pages for each of their locations, and would want different search widgets for each web page.
Each search widget would only show properties for that location. This could be achieved by using "tags" within the product to group properties.
5 votesYou can already do this today by setting tags on your properties, retrieving these properties by tag via the API, and passing the property UID dynamically do the booking widget.

Font on Direct Website Listing
When you visit a property via the Direct website, the font is not the easiest font to read. Having a few options to change the font would be great.

Adding the "Total Reservation Price WITHOUT The Refundable Security Deposit" when guests are about book directly with you
Adding the "Total Reservation Price WITHOUT The Refundable Security Deposit" when guests are about book directly with you. As of right now guests only see the ENTIRE TOTAL amount including the refundable security deposit but it would be nice for them to know how much they are paying at the end once they get their deposit back, thank you!
