We've released plenty of updates over the past two weeks that we're excited to share! Everything from improvements to upsells, security deposits, owner statements, cleanings, and more!
Β
Upsells
Upsell requests are live for all users β
- There's now a setting that allows you to require your approval of the purchase of the upsells you create and offer guests
- You will receive a notification about a guest wishing to purchase one of your upsells, which you can either approve or deny
- The guest will be notified of your decision and charged for the upsell if approved
- You can learn more about upsell requests in this detailed help article
- You can learn more about Autopilot Cleanings in this detailed help article
Cart abandonment email reminders π
- Guests who add upsells to their cart, but do not proceed to buy, will automatically receive an email 24 hours later prompting them to complete their purchase
- This will naturally help you increase the conversion of the upsells purchased by your guests
Support for timing settings β°
- You can now set a time for when you want to offer custom upsells to your guests
- The setting lets you choose the time window and use the check-in and checkout as a reference point
Security Deposits
Waive deposits for trusted guests β
- You can now waive a deposit on a per-booking basis for Airbnb and Booking.com reservations
- From the inbox thread, you'll now see a Remove Deposit button, which will remove the deposit for that booking only
- This is useful if you have repeat guests or ones that already have excellent reviews
- Learn more about security deposits in this detailed help article
Booking.com
New property details page for Payments π¦
- If you have a Booking.com listing, you can now set up payments with them through the property's settings
- The benefits of this include fraud checks, choosing payout frequency, and picking net or gross payout methods
- We'll check if you have permissions to set up Booking.com Payments, and if not, we will provide a quick way to update your settings and enroll in it
Owner Statements
All properties belong to a business π¨
- To make owner statements and accounting functionality work more seamlessly, we have now associated all properties with a business
- If a property had owner statements set up, we created a manager business for you and associated the property with that business
- If a property on Mogul doesn't have owner statements set up, we created an owner business for you and associated the property with that business
Zero revenue reservations π
- Mogul users will now see bookings that generate zero revenue, including Owner Stays, on statements and invoices
- This only applies to reservations that have been accepted, not ones that were cancelled
Operations
Choose three preferred marketplace cleaners π§Ή
- During one-off task and task rule creation for autopilot cleanings, you can now select up to three preferred cleaners from the available list
- If more than one cleaner is selected, an additional screen allows you to rank them in your preferred order
- Your cleaner ranking is saved per property and will be automatically applied to future tasks and task-rule creations
Show the distance to your property π
- We will now show you the distance between your property and the cleaner to ensure you can have one as soon as possible
Discounts for cleanings π
- You will now receive $40 off your first cleaning when you set it up through our Autopilot Cleanings marketplace
- You will also receive your eighth cleaning for free once you reach it
- This applies to both automated cleaning tasks and ad-hoc cleanings
AI
Display the reason why Auto Reply didn't send βΉοΈ
- We will now explain the reason why your Auto-Reply message didn't send to a guest within the messaging thread
- We will also notify you by email and send a push notification to teammates who have Inbox permissions
- This is enabled by default, but can be turned off in the Inbox AI settings of Guest Experience
