New Features

Well, if I'm honest we don't have a big new feature to announce today, but I can say that we have been working hard in adding two new features to Rental Ninja. One in the Guests Module, and another one in the Booking Payments. Stay tuned for the next news!

Improvements

Accounting

We have added some messages to improve your experience. Whenever you create a payment and there are no items shown as per your strategy, we show a message explaining that.

Policies

We have linked all our policies to the new website: cookies, privacy, T&C and legal notice.

Filters

In the dates filter of different views, we have re-added the option to select custom dates. This was something possible on the old website, but we had to do some work to be able to put it on the new website. You are free to choose any dates are your will!

Booking Payments

You shouldn't notice, but we have internally improved the way we manage booking payments. This way we ensure the system is more robust and easy to maintain. For example, in the past, when trying to add a payment, we were sending first the booking payment to the Partner you are connected from. But this sometimes was failing due to connection problems or lack of response from the Partner API. Now we save it first in our Database to ensure it's saved, and we try several times to update the Partner. If no success, then we will remove the payment and warn you about it.

Guests Communication

In order to improve the emails we send to your guests, we have started to try to send the precheck-in form emails via API directly to the OTA messages, instead of an email. There are several rules here depending on which of our Partners you are coming from, but we are trying to cover the gap here for cases where we have a booking without any client email. In such case and if the Partner API allows us, we will try to send the message directly to the OTA inbox in some cases. The idea here is to be able to reach your guests by any means we can.

API

We have been working on improving our API with our Partners, so we have better synchronization.

Bug fixing

Accounting

We have been reviewing the new user interface of the accounting section in search of possible navigation problems to ensure your experience is as smooth as possible.

Subscriptions

When your Rental Ninja subscription payment fails 3 times, we cancel your subscription. Stripe was sending you emails to be able to pay the subscription. However, once your subscription was canceled, the Stripe links were still open to pay a subscription already canceled. We have fixed this to ensure that, when you pay, your subscription is reactivated automatically.
