There are 8 updates related to the Booking Site.

🎉 The Booking Site now allows you to receive bookings without adding a payment account.

When you haven't added a payment account, guests can send booking requests through your booking site. You will see these requests in your Inbox and can choose to accept or reject them.

🎉 Guests can now select the number of adults, children, infants, and pets when making a reservation.

These settings are linked to the extra guest fee, pet fee, and not suitable for infants settings. You can choose to exclude certain types of guests.

🎉 In the Inbox, you can see detailed information about inquiries related to the booking site.

If a guest contacts you through instant messaging before making a reservation, you will be able to view the inquiry details in your Inbox.

🎉 The Booking Widget supports customizable button colors.

We have added the ability to customize the button color of the booking widget, allowing you to match it with your theme. Additionally, we have included a white background color for the widget to ensure readability on different backgrounds.

And here are the additional updates related to the booking site:

🎉 You can now preview your booking site using the booking site editor before publishing it.

🎉 We have simplified the URL structure of the booking site property page for easier sharing.

🎉 We have optimized the performance of certain pages on the booking site and resolved some known issues.

🎉 We now allow the deletion of a booking site (apologies for not providing this functionality previously).

There are also some additional minor features:

🎉When setting base prices, you can now set them based on listings (previously, you could only set them based on channels).

🎉 The listing names on Booking.com/Expedia now have a "Property Name" prefix for easier differentiation.

🎉 Fixed an issue with PriceLabs unexpectedly modifying the minimum stay for certain rate plans.

🎉 Removed the feature that sent email notifications to hosts when guests interacted with the check-in guide.
