INTRODUCING SIGNATURE

We are super excited to announce the release of Signature, the third product in the Tokeet suite. Signature is an e-document management system designed for the short-term rental industry. We know that getting information to and from guests can be a tedious and time-consuming task, so we created Signature to make your lives easier. Signature is more than just an e-signature platform. With Signature, you can also send customized forms to your guests which they can complete on any device. This information is then stored in Tokeet for you to review at any time. You can also send customized documents using the guest and booking information, or custom codes that you create.

Best of all, Signature is completely integrated with Automata and the core Tokeet application so you can automate your document management, and your information is seamlessly shared across the entire suite of products. As always, Signature is easy to use and priced affordably.

Signature is free to use by all Tokeet users for the remainder of August. Simply go to the Signature login page and login with your Tokeet credentials. Only account admins my login at this time. To learn more about Signature please visit the Signature website.

Today we’ve opened Automata, free of charge for the remainder of August, so all our users may give it a try. You can read more about Automata here.

ANNOUNCING OUR NEW AIRBNB API

Over the past few months we’ve been in discussions with Airbnb on a formal partnership agreement that will bring our companies closer together and allow a deeper integration between our two products. These discussions started in February and now, after 5 months of development, we’re happy to announce that Tokeet is an official partner of Airbnb. Even more exciting, we’re also officially announcing the release of a new Airbnb integration in Tokeet. This integration, which has been in beta for the past week, is faster, more powerful, and vastly more reliable than the previous Airbnb connection.

I understand that many of you have been affected by recent and frequent outages relating to the previous API connection with Airbnb, for this I sincerely apologize. During these outages we’ve been feverishly working with the Airbnb engineering and partnerships teams on a new integration with the sole purpose of improving the experience for you, our users. Today that new integration is available to you in your Tokeet account.

We plan for every customer to eventually move over to the new API and will ultimately discontinue the previous API connection. If you’ve ever had any issues with your Airbnb API connection then I recommend you make the switch immediately. It will only take a few minutes and instructions for switching are below.

We have more exciting announcements to make in the near future, but that’s all for now. Thank you for being a Tokeet user.


Switching to the new Airbnb API

Tokeet's new Airbnb API connection is live. This is a faster, and more reliable connection between Airbnb and Tokeet. Please follow the steps below to migrate your Airbnb accounts to the new API.

First disconnect the Airbnb API (OLD) accounts following the steps in this guide.

Disconnect a Channel Account

Then reconnect with Airbnb API (NEW).

OUR PRICE IS CHANGING

Two years ago I purchased my second vacation rental home, and just like you, I needed a system to help me manage it. I began researching all of the popular solutions and was surprised at how expensive and unusable many of them were. As a developer, I knew that a better solution was possible. So after much deliberation, I decided to leave my existing job, build a team, and start Tokeet with my own money.

On January 1st, 2016 Tokeet came out of Beta and we began advertising to the public. At the time we had a basic reservation manager and allowed only iCal synchronization. It was a simple product that some found useful, but many of you wanted more. We’ve worked tirelessly over the past 16 months to grow the product from these simple beginnings into an extensive platform filled with many of the features you need. 

It’s been a crazy period and we’ve moved fast, breaking a few (many) things along the way. We implemented your feedback quickly, often times the same day, and listened intently to everything you had to say. Our staff is filled with mostly engineers, even our support staff, and we simply love building things. We provided real-time customer support for every user, even the free accounts, and now have 24/7 real-time support with team members in 5 countries.

Tokeet has become popular in a big way. We’ve been growing rapidly, bursting at the seams, and simply cannot keep up without further significant investments. We’ve considered outside investors-- most of our competitors have already gone down this path, but every investor wants to change the way we work. Either by drastically increasing our price to match our competition, limiting our support and features, or focusing the company on larger customers. These are all contrary to what we believe and stand for as a company. Tokeet must remain a PMS for the masses and we don’t plan to compromise on customer support.
So now we’re forced to change the one thing which we’ve never changed: our price. We’ve kept the same pricing from the start, even after adding 4 new products to the platform. 

In most cases, Tokeet is 10% - 25% the price of our closest competitors. We plan to double our pricing on average to 20% - 50% of the competition pricing. This new pricing will take effect on May 1st and you can see it on our new pricing page.
This price change will allow us to continue in our current direction and expand our products and features. If you think we’re great now, wait till you see what we have for you in 2017. We plan to completely change this industry forever.

For those of you who have been with us from the beginning, you’ve seen us grow and helped us get better. All of you have been a part of our journey, and we’re immensely grateful to have you as our customers. We would like to reward your loyalty by offering you the chance to keep your existing pricing for the next year or two, no matter what else changes.

Customers who subscribe before May 1st may keep their current plan for the next 1-2 years by purchasing special one or two year plans which are billed one-time and upfront. These special yearly plans are not available online, so email us directly to inform us of your interest. Simply reply to this email. If we don't hear from you then you will automatically be switched to the new pricing after May 1st.

I personally thank you for being a part of the Tokeet journey and I am excited about our future. If you have any questions please ask our support team. Our best is still ahead of us.

TOKEET SIGNATURE

We are very excited to announce our brand-new, fully integrated document signature feature called Tokeet Signature. With Tokeet Signature, there’s no need to use expensive electronic signature providers or require your guests to print, sign, scan, then send back rental agreements or other contracts.

With the new Signature feature, you can create multiple contract templates, automatically populate a template with your guest’s information, then send that contract directly to your guest. Your guest will receive a link to the contract which they can read and then sign from any device using a mouse or their finger. Once the contract is signed, both you and your guest will receive a digital copy for your records. There will also be a copy of the executed contract in your Tokeet File Cabinet for future reference.

This fully integrated electronic signature feature is designed to work seamlessly with other Tokeet features including automated triggers, message templates, the Tokeet data dictionary, and more.

By making the booking experience easier for your guests, Signature makes the process easier and more effective for you, too.
