We are working on improving usability and workflows. This involves changes to the location of settings, setting names and menus.

Release date:

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.
