OWNERS CAN CONNECT PAYMENT GATEWAYS

With the introduction of our Advanced Gateway Module users are able to add multiple payment gateways to their Tokeet account. They may even add multiple accounts from the same gateway. Now, owners can also connect their own gateways to the Tokeet account. When the user logs into Tokeet they can access all payment gateways associated with their account and add new gateways.

This is important as it doesn't require the owner to give their gateways credentials to the property manager. Also, the PM will never see the gateway credentials.

This feature is another great innovation by Tokeet and a first in our industry.

INTRODUCING STEALTH MODE

Tokeet has introduced a new and innovative feature for those users who want more control over when their listings are shown on Airbnb. If you are like many users who actively list and delist their rentals for various reasons then the new Tokeet Stealth Mode was created just for you. Stealth Mode delists your Airbnb rental during specific hours of the day and hides it from prying eyes. It can be automatically re-listed at a time you specify and when you are more likely to be seen by potential guests. 

ADVANCED PAYMENTS MANAGEMENT

We are excited to announce the release of our advance payments module. This new system lays the foundation for our Owners module and more advanced features soon to be released by Tokeet. With the release of this payment management system, we now allow users to add multiple payment gateways to their account. You may even add multiple gateway accounts from the same gateway. If you want to use Stripe and Worldpay or multiple Stripe accounts, for example, you may now do so. You can see payment activity log directly on the gateway details and also see a summary of financial information for these gateways. The payments module also allows you to set a default gateway in the case where you have multiple gateways connected to Tokeet.


This is great for our users, but how would you manage which gateway is used under various circumstances? Instead of requiring users to manually select a gateway for each enquiry we have also created Payment Rules. Payment rules allow you to specify which gateway to use for which channel or rental. For example, you can select your Stripe gateway to be used for Rental A and your Worldpay gateway to be used for Rental B. Even further, you can specify that Stripe is only used for Rental A when bookings come from Expedia.com, otherwise use Worldpay. These rules allow a significant amount of flexibility and specificity so you can automatically select gateways as needed.

We will be releasing support for various payment gateways over the coming days and weeks. Stay tuned.


OUR NEW MOBILE APPS ARE HERE!

We're happy to announce the release of our new, native, mobile applications for iOS and Android. Our new apps were rebuilt from scratch to be faster and more responsive than ever. We've also taken the simplicity and ease-of-use that you've come to expect from the Tokeet web application and re-imagined it for mobile. Some of the new features include:
  • A unique experience for various Tokeet user types with rental and data restrictions applied.
  • A completely redesigned bookings calendar, just for mobile devices.
  • Search guests, bookings, inquiries, and invoices quickly.
  • House staff can now check-in and check-out of properties during their assignments and also leave comments.
  • All of your Tokeet feeds now flow directly to your mobile.
  • Push notification delivery is now available within triggers so you can send a message without using SMS.

We truly appreciate all of the feedback and support we received as we developed these new apps and welcome your thoughts on how we can make them even better. We're also working on some other very exciting features for mobile. Stay tuned!

Thank you for being a Tokeet user.

MOBILE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

With the release of our new mobile apps we are also announcing the ability to deliver triggered messages via Push Notification. Push Notification is now an option along with SMS, Email, and HTTP Post for delivery of automated messages from Tokeet. This means that you no longer have to depend on SMS messages and incur the possible cost associated with SMS. Push notifications are automatically delivered to all mobile applications of a registered user and saved within Tokeet for their review at anytime.

Give it a try now and let us know what you think.

ADDED THE MALAYSIAN RINGGIT

The Malaysian Ringgit is now a currency in Tokeet. You may select this currency in your rental settings. This will change the currency on your bookings, invoices, expenses, and all other sections of Tokeet for the associated rental. For help changing your rental currency please click here.


NEW EVENT TYPE 'CRITICAL ERROR'


We've created a new event type for which you can create a trigger, it's called Critical Error. Critical Errors are failures that may adversely impact your account. For example, if Tokeet was unable to sync your channels, or unable to save the CC information from your Booking.com or Expedia bookings, or had trouble connecting to your Airbnb account. These failures, if left unattended, can have major repercussions so we now allow you to create triggers for these as desired.

Please note that we have also created an Account Error Feed where you may view these errors from our web or mobile applications. Critical Errors will also cause a push notification within the mobile apps.

ADD CREDIT CARD TO BOOKINGS

Tokeet has added a new feature to make your life easier. You may now manually add a credit card to your bookings and use this card to settle any invoices generated within that booking. Previously Tokeet would automatically save the credit card details of bookings coming via Booking.com and Expedia, but now you may added card details for any booking and update previously saved details

ACCOUNT ERROR LOG

Tokeet is growing, YES! However this means we are spending more time helping our customers with issues which may arise. It is critical that we are able to scale efficiently during this growth phase while still helping our users and adding awesome new features. The root cause of many of the problems that customers face are normally buried within our log files and we spend a significant amount of time digging them out. These errors typically occur offline when Tokeet is performing some action on your behalf. For example, when syncing your channels, automatically pushing rates, or processing a new booking. These are very important tasks which happen multiple times per second for the average account and we must keep on top of them.

Time spent unearthing these issues is bad for both us and our users. So we were determined to create a solution where our users can easily discover any issues on their own and we can quickly solve complex problems without digging through log files. With this in mind we have added a new feed to the Tokeet web application. The Account Error Log displays all account level errors from Tokeet in an easy to read format. In addition, we will also be sending this feed to your mobile device with the upcoming release of our new mobile application. Please check these logs often so you're immediately aware if anything goes wrong.

AUTOMATICALLY SAVE BOOKING.COM AND EXPEDIA PAYMENT DETAILS

Hey everyone, happy new year! We've been hard at work making changes to Tokeet's payment processing and billings components. We have some big plans and lots of development in the works so stay tuned. Today I am excited to release the first step in our plan. Tokeet now automatically saves your guest's billing details from Booking.com and Expedia to your connected payment gateway. We currently only support Stripe, but this too will change in the near future.

So now when a guest enters their credit card details when booking on Booking.com and Expedia Tokeet saves this information into Stripe for future use. You may automatically charge this card from any invoice using the new 'Pay with saved card' button located directly in the invoice. You never have to leave Tokeet to charge your guests and you may issue new charges for additional invoices directly from Tokeet.


We plan to enable this feature for every new payment gateway which we integrate into Tokeet. If you have a preferred payment gateway please let me know so we may consider it for integration.
