1 st release planned: Dec 2023
1.1 Renamed Pages and Settings
RATES: "Rates" to "Fixed Prices". We do this because many customers starting with Beds24 confuse what we call rates with channel rate plans. Using the terms "Daily Prices" for dynamic prices and "fixed prices" for prices which have a start and an end date should stop this.
"Details tab of the booking: "API Message" to "Channel Info"
(SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > BOOKING RULES: "Booking Cancellations by Guest" to "Cancellations by Guest"
(SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > PROPERTY CONTENT "Headline Text" to "Property Headline"
