In addition to being able to securely tokenize cards via the online booking engine, PMS users can now also do so as part of the check-in process. The underlying tokenization is provided by Stripe or Flywire. Tokenize at check-in and easily charge cards at a later date — from RoomBoss or your payment gateway.
System Updates
The in-account Vendor Directory has been updated with a sleek, mobile-friendly interface towards our continuous efforts to modernise and enhance the RoomBoss user experience. This page can be used to view and download a comprehensive list of vendors available to your account—including your level of booking access, applicable commission, and their contact details—and can be accessed here.
Our Search Bookings page has been upgraded with a revamped, mobile-friendly user interface, which introduces a variety of new search options to help locate and report on your data. Alongside existing export functionality, you can now also create and save powerful custom Excel export templates for immediate or future use.
The RoomBoss Square integration has been upgraded this week with an update to the new Payments API. No action is required for accounts using Square; and all Guest Intranet payment links have been automatically migrated to use the slick, mobile-friendly web UI. Square is just one of the many payment gateways available to RoomBoss users—to find out more, or for a list of supported gateways, visit our Help Site.
Improvements to our integration with SKIDATA. We’ve improved the speed when checking whether a booking has been synced from RB to SKIDATA, and whether the guest has picked up their lift pass. Improvements to our integration with Rentals United, a popular channel management solution for vacation rental properties. Bug fixes and performance enhancements.
Updates to our integration with Wintersteiger Easyrent. Equipment rental stores who use Easyrent for operations can easily receive B2C and B2B sales directly into Easyrent via our booking engines. Updates to our integration with Zenryo payment system, a provider of online payment solutions that offers highly competitive rates. Bug fixes and performance enhancements.
Until now it’s been possible to set a Strategy at the account level that determines how invoices are automatically created, and unpaid bookings automatically cancelled. Now you can now create additional Strategies and link a Strategy to a Rate Plan. For example to establish different automated policies for guests who book a discounted, non-refundable Rate Plan versus those who book a more expensive and flexible Rate Plan. Make use of the minimum nights and other criteria of the Rate Plan to more precisely control how automatic generation of invoices and automatic cancellation occurs. Your existing Strategy is still in effect so there is no need to take any immediate action. To take advantage of this new feature you can access the new page in your account or browse documentation for more information.
The Search & Quote page has been modernized and includes a number of new features: Support for Rate Plan promotion codes. A price filter that allows lower and upper boundaries to be specified. Support for quoting in alternative currencies, for accounts where payment in more than once currency is accepted.
As part of our drive to provide the best sales distribution possible for RB users, we’re happy to have integrated with The Luxe Nomad, Asia-Pacific’s leading luxury villa booking portal and management company. Rates and availability are synced in real time to TLN’s systems, allowing their clients instant access to booking online. Improvements to the booking engine for resort services such as lift passes, ski lessons, rentals and transportation when purchasing by mobile.
New shiny user interface for hotel reservations teams and their B2B partners to check availability. A number of minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
