April, 2026 Product Updates

Our Product and Design teams worked with our engineers to build some amazing updates last month! A special shoutout to our clients who shared feedback and our beta testers.

ThinkPayments

Meet ThinkPayments, our premier, fully integrated payment solution powered by Stripe that allows you to manage all your transactions, payouts, and disputes directly within ThinkReservations. This eliminates the need to juggle multiple systems and modernizes your checkout experience by introducing highly requested features such as Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later). By reducing friction for guests and centralizing all operations, ThinkPayments is designed to save your team time and increase your booking conversions.

Calendar Updates

• Rate Type Labels: Added calendar labels for unavailable rooms and dates for a given Rate Type. Instead of an ambiguous gray bar, we now label the rate type's unavailability with "No Rates", "Stop Sell", or "Linked Room" so you know why the selected rate type is unavailable.
• Legend: Refreshed the calendar Legend to include all booking status icons, tasks, and the new rate type labels. Hover your mouse over the word "Legend" on the bottom right of the calendar to check it out!

Additional Development Work

• HotelTonight: Added support for Infants to our HotelTonight connection
• Airbnb: Upgraded the Channel Manager to support the newer Airbnb API
• Rate Types: Added safety checks to improve the derived rate type feature to prevent a logic loop.
• Stop Sell Updates: Prevent a rate type from being sold - without removing the price!
• Internationalization: Built the framework for online translations for online booking. This lays the foundation for internationalization.
• ThinkWeb Blogs: Built the "Recipe Blog" structure and the interface to create and edit a recipe blog.
• TakeUp: The TakeUp Rate Management integration has been disconnected (April 30th).
• Rate Management: Work has begun to integrate with a new dynamic pricing and revenue management tool.
• Various fixes, improvements, and enhancements across the platform.

Thanks again to all our clients who helped test these features and provided their feedback!
