You can now use your credit card for Hospitable Tasks payments, from paying your cleaners to reimbursing inventory purchases, and earn card rewards along the way! We’re also helping you with the Airbnb bookings and added more functionality to the MCP. 

Hospitable Tasks

Pay operations bills by credit card 💳

  • You can now pay cleaning, maintenance, and other operations bills with a credit card, giving you a faster, easier alternative to ACH, plus you’ll earn points with your bank
  • Your billing setup is simpler, so you can get started with operations payments more quickly

Upload inventory in bulk 🧻

  • You can now bulk upload inventory from a CSV file, saving your team time and reducing manual entry errors

Airbnb

Offer a discount to attract top rated guests 🎖

  • You can now turn on Airbnb’s Top rated guests discount in Hospitable for eligible Airbnb listings
  • When you enable it, qualifying guests automatically get 15% off, your listing can earn a special badge, and you may get better visibility in Airbnb search
  • You can add Airbnb blackout dates in Hospitable for your busiest dates so top rated guests pay your full rate on those days
  • Your Airbnb blackout date quota is tracked for you, with up to 30 dates per calendar year and an initial one time import to match what is already set in Airbnb
  • Changes to the discount status stay in sync with Airbnb, and turning the discount off will not affect pending or confirmed reservations

MCP and API

WebMCP supported AI agents can search and find your listings 🏡

  • If a guest uses a supported AI agent in their browser, it can search your properties, read listing details, check availability, and generate real price quotes directly from your booking widget
  • Guests still complete their booking in your normal widget flow, so your checkout experience stays the same
  • AI agents cannot book or take payment on a guest’s behalf, helping you keep control of the final reservation steps
  • AI assisted quotes are tracked separately, giving you visibility into this new source of shopper activity

Add guest discounts to manual reservations via the Public API 🧾

  • You can now include guest discounts when you create or update manual reservations through the Public API
  • You can send one or more discounts with a label and amount, so your reservation totals stay accurate without changing the accommodation price
  • Discounts are saved as guest discounts just like manual bookings you create in the app and the guest’s total is automatically reduced by the discount amount
  • When you fetch reservation financials, you can see these discounts listed under the guest discount details

Split Payouts

Choose split payouts by channel 🔀

  • You can now turn split payouts on only for the booking channels you want instead of applying them to every payout
  • You can keep split payouts enabled for Direct Premium while leaving Vrbo off, or choose the opposite setup based on how you run your business
  • You will see clear channel options in the agreement flow, including all current and future channels paid through Hospitable, Direct Premium, and Vrbo
  • If you remove every channel from the agreement, split payouts turn off completely
  • If you already use split payouts, your current setup stays the same until you choose and save a smaller set of channels

Inbox

Cleaner Inbox filters that stay out of your way 💌

  • You’ll now see a streamlined Inbox filter bar that stays on one line, so it looks cleaner even when you use multiple filters
  • You can change built-in segment filters like conversation status instead of being locked into the default setup
  • If you want to start over, you can use Reset filters to quickly return to the original segment filters
