Here's a list of the most important updates, features and bug fixes we implemented in the past month!
Updated Activity categories
We’ve updated our internal activity categories to align them better to OTAs. This means, we renamed or split existing categories and also added new ones.
Additionally the category field in the activity setup is now mandatory, as this information is crucial when working with multiple channels and simplifies the mapping process on OTAs.
What you have to do: Please have a look at the new categories (explained below) and review your activities accordingly, to find the category that best represents your activity.
New categories
- Food/Wine Tours (former: Food, Wine & Nightlife)
- Nightlife Experiences (former: Food, Wine & Nightlife)
- Biking Tours (former: Walking & Biking Tours)

Ticket scan functionality more prominent on mPOS
We received the feedback, that the ticket scan functionality is too hidden in the upper menu. That's why we moved it as a sticky element to the top right, so it will be accessible directly when you need to scan a ticket.
New agent permission: Modify not only own bookings"
There is a new agent permission "Modify not only own bookings", that allows your agents also to modify (edit, cancel, rebook, add guests, etc.) other agents' bookings. This is a default setting for super agents.
POS Desk - Filter: Bookable trips only
We added a new filter to the POS Desk: Bookable trips only. It will show all trips with availability, so it's easier for your agents to quickly find the right date and time.
Keep in mind: When you agents/ partners have overbooking permission enabled, then the trips that are fully booked will still show in the availabilty list, as they are allowed to overbook them.
POS Desk - Guest Manifest: Show guest add-ons in guest manifest
POS Desk - Guest Manifest: Filter for payment status
Other updates:
- POS Desk: The guest manifest opens in a sidebar (by default). Now you also have a toggle at the top right to enlarge the manifest to its full view.
- Fixes:
- mPOS: Bug with Hosted Payment Page site
- Link type integration issue fixed
- Widget - Sentences with apostrophes not displayed correctly
- POS: Filling out guests fields from different price categories caused issues
- POS: Booked price categories for packages showed wrong in checkout process
- POS: Agent permissions "modify/cancel" and "adjust pricing" reviewed
- POS: Agent permission "overbooking" shouldn't overwrite partner permission
