February ‘24 - Platform Improvements


Product Updates

Per Night Pricing for Collection Items

We’ve added per night pricing to the collection item’s configuration so you can price certain items like a rollaway bed, crib, golf cart rental, or hot tub heating accordingly. Akia will automatically update the cart total based on the number of nights the guest is staying.

Cooldown Period for Reassignment

Do you see issues with two users connecting to the same guest at the same time and it’s random who gets assigned the chat? We’ve implemented a 10 second cooldown period for chat reassignment so the user who connected first will have the chat open. The warning is shown in the bottom right hand corner as well as on the header of the message thread.
