Administrative Panel

We have implemented a mechanism to prepare for withdrawing support for functionalities that were not popular among our users and booking customers by October 1, 2023. Before making the decision to withdraw, we conducted a series of studies measuring the usage of individual functionalities and their impact on the business of IdoBooking's customers.

List of withdrawn functionalities:

• Sets
• First-minute amount discounts - we continue to support percentage discounts for last/first minute
• Quota discount codes - we continue to support percentage discounts for discount codes
• Manual currency exchange rates - we continue to support automatically updated currency exchange rates
• Embedding Booking Engine on Facebook and Facebook Comments - embedding Booking Engine as a tab on the Facebook page is no longer supported by the Partner and does not reflect the current preferences of platform users. We recommend embedding the Reservation page link within a CTA button and encouraging reservations through the Messenger chatbot

Reservation Settlement Reports

• Improved the display of summaries in Settlement Reports and eliminated duplicate amounts in the reservation value column
• Added a search for owners and sorting values on location and owner lists

Settlements

• Improved sending payment request messages from the Settlement window on the Reservation Card

Stay Restriction Management

• Promotions and Packages - Improved the recording of promotion conditions in the Booking Engine to always present minimum stay conditions set at the Package level
• Promotions and Packages - Handling the scenario where the promotional offer has less restrictive length of stay conditions than the offers in pricing plans
• Pricing Plans - Improved the recording of stay conditions in the Booking Engine for refundable and non-refundable plans with exceptions in stay restrictions
