Hi all,We’ve rolled out several improvements to Guest Vetting over the past few weeks.The goal is simple:\tFaster verification for good guests\t\t\tNo repeat ID checks for returning guests\t\t\tClearer signals when something about a booking needs attention\tHere’s what changed. Returning guests don’t need to verify again on Direct PremiumIf a guest has already completed identity verification with you before, they won’t need to go through the same process again.When they book again:\tTheir previous verification can be reused\t\t\tThey can move through the booking flow faster\tThis works across:\tInstant bookings\t\t\tBooking requests\t\t\tCustom quotes\tWhat this means for you\tFaster booking for trusted repeat guests\t\t\tLess friction during checkout\t\t\tA smoother experience for guests who already stayed with you\t Fewer false alarms when names don’t match perfectlyIn life, guest names don’t always match their ID exactly. People use nicknames. They skip middle names. Sometimes there’s a small typo when booking.

We’ve made it easier to manage property ownership and communicate with your operations team!

Hey everyone! 👋We’ve heard several requests for Static Guest Portal Links — shareable URLs or QR codes that let guests access upsells without needing their unique guest portal link.We love the idea! 💡 Hosts have told us they’d use this for guidebooks, signage, or on-site QR codes for things like firepit fees, equipment rentals, or minibar purchases.The challenge? Every upsell is tied to a specific reservation — that’s how we check calendar availability, manage upsell timing windows, and trigger post-purchase automations. To make static links possible, we’ll need a step where guests enter their reservation code so we can connect them to the right booking.We’d love your feedback:How would this fit into your guest experience?\tHow are you currently handling upsell purchases and linking them back to bookings?Drop your thoughts below — and upvote the feature request to stay updated:🔗 https://feedback.hospitable.com/p/static-upsell-url-for-guest-payments
