Hello WPRental Team,

I have purchased the theme a while ago and must say its a great system. YES its complex but I think its the nature of an ” Airbnb – clone ” set-up.

Thanks for the Elementor integration wich works nicely.

One think I need to ask you. Is there any possibility to identify user ( booker ) and owner in the backend. Both are added into Owner and User the same way without any Label to identify them by group ?

Keep on your great work

Hi MarkusLange

Thank you very much for the beautiful feedback. I am happy to hear you’re enjoying the theme updates. I hope you also like the other new ones (woo commerce to process payments through any merchant supported by woo commerce, and there are hundreds of them), instant booking without login when payments are processed through woo commerce etc.

Regarding your question, I need to understand first how you use the theme and I will add to our wishlist to see what can be done.

If you have everyone as owners – it means you don’t separate them on register. In this case everyone has the same permission (to add or book from the same account). That’s why there is no difference.

If you separate users on registration, only people who register as “i want to rent and book” will have the owner page created so you can see these in admin -> owners.

Thank you

Hi WPRental Team,

thanks for the answer…...

Yes I am NOT seperating user on registration but I am limiting property submission access by User Name ( very nice feature ). I have sent this question because I am bit worried that I am ending up having many users and owners dublicated in both and I could loose orientation. Thats why – maybe you could add in the future a checkbox in the backend for admin to select Owner or User .. but this is maybe not the most improtant…

... more important for me is that I need your advice or help … how can I configure the registration form ?

Do you see a chance to add more fields which of corse relates to the database. PLUS can I make them mandatory ?

BTW. After having set-up the standart PayPal configuration – I have changed an tested the new Woocommerce integration and it works out of the box … realy well done !!

See you

Hi Markus

Thank you for the comment.

I am not sure how to make the separation in the scenario you describe since the limitation is only by username, not by user type (since all users register without the separation on), but I will see if there is something we can do.

The registration form changes need custom development I am afraid. I can share this technical help to explain our current code https://help.wprentals.org/article/register-and-login/ but for this part of the theme the changes need to be implemented to know the steps, so a developer will be needed to assist.

PS: Thank you for letting us know about Woo Tests. Many clients already use it for payments and we’ve received positive feedback since with this you can really save a lot of money on custom work to add new merchants for payments.

Thanks again!

Hi, I have two questions that I would like to know before purchasing your theme. 1. Is there a verify function for renters similar to owners? 2. Is there an admin chat feature where users can with admins? If not, do you have any recommendations for a plugin

Thanks

Hello Chamode_Anjana

Thank you for the comment.

1. We don’t have such a function.

2. We don’t have a chat solution, but for users to chat with admin you have plenty of plugins (free ones) you can use. Ex: crisp chat

Thank you

hi, another pre-purchase question. With WP Rentals, is it possible to categorize listings, having each category with a certain set of custom fields in the same website install? For example, daily rentals would be a category with its custom fields, another category could be something like experiences (per hour rental) and that would have its own set of custom fields, or another category (also hourly) to rent spaces for example. We would allow to offer a website that could encompass all types of rentals on the same site, and each section would require its own independent custom fields. If this is possible it would fit perfectly what we need. Is this possible? Thanks.

Hello louvalie, Thank you for th ecomment.

We don’t have this kind of form management in one installation. You have control over property fields but they are globally set (not by category). Thank you

hi, pre-purchase question. Is it possible to allow for monthly rentals?

Hello louvalie, Thank you for the interest in our theme. We don’t have price per month. We have price per day for 30d+ bookings and minim booking days. Thank you

the theme now support woocommerce..if the theme is a listing web site ….. still the admin collect all booking payments or there is the possibility for property owners to collect payments for bookings of their properties?

Hello webrex2013

Thank you for the comment.

Yes, admin gets payment as the merchants are set from wp-admin -> woo commerce settings with the admin merchant details.

WooCommerce can allow only admin to configure the merchants that are added to woocommerce checkout.

What you describe still needs payment from admin -> to owner (because of the security implications in any kind of online transactions, I am not aware of any system to allow payment from user to owner directly through online merchants).

In woo commerce they have an add-on (similar to rentals club- paypal adaptive payments which we offer for free) which costs to be added to woo commerce (in general), but we didn’t test to advise if it can be used or not for woo commerce transactions.

Thank you

Hello I come from Vietnam. I am about to start a workspace rental platform. I find WP rental very suitable for starting my business. However, I have some questions 1. My currency is VND, is there any way to change my payment currency? Can I add forms of payment via e-wallets in my country? (My country rarely uses Paypal or Stripe) 2. Can I customize my language into Vietnamese? 3. I am not a programmer, do I have any difficulties installing or customizing your website? Will you assist me in this process? Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much

Thank you. I don’t understand the last question, sorry. Please explain. Thanks again!

You let me ask more. Can I divide into different types of rental space? For example: office, event organization, co-working space …

We have categories – https://prnt.sc/pu85ii and these names you can edit yourself with your names. But I am not sure if this is enough. Thank you

Paypal Payments give 403 error on Instant Payments in Modal window. Not able to figure out the cause. Can you help ?

Hello nitin247, Please be sure you disable Stripe if you don’t use it and if you add Paypal, check credentials are correct. https://help.wprentals.org/article/paypal-set-up/ For further help please send us a ticket in client support http://support.wpestate.org/ with the site credentials. Thank you

I go to All in one calendar and Mark days as booked. I don’t know how to unmark, set it back to free/avaiable ?? http://prntscr.com/prfbzp

also do you have account funds to extract money for featured and/or promoted listings. Payments to top-up account funds are made using woocommerce gateways ?

Hello. Thank you fo the comment. I made you a video to see how to delete from owner dashboard -> My Bookings page https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2BGj2eDKH4&feature=youtu.be

The property from your screenshot is not published, so the bookings you add are no published either.

We don’t use credit system in the theme. You can use Paid Submission with WooCommerce and let user pay for listing to be published and then for listing to be set to featured, but it’s a transaction that happens through a merchant (not from account credit)

Thank you

Dear team,

is this them compatible with WPML? Is it also possible to translate all the product info?

Thnx!

Hi Markoning, Thank you for writing. Yes it’s WPML compatible. But please see here other options too https://help.wprentals.org/article/multi-language-3rd-party-recommended-solutions/ Thank you

Hello, I’m wondering if it would be possible to change the site from daily/hourly booking, to instead take bookings for tours. ie guest chooses a tour on Monday in the time slot of 1pm to 2pm.

I understand this will require customising the code, just wondering if it will be possible to achieve without breaking the rest of the site ?

Hello mohican94

Thank you for the comment.

Bu default the booking form that sends the booking request is coded so that is can sync with owner dashboard and owner properties.

If you need a similar flow, then custom development will be needed but I cannot guarantee this solution without doing the actual development. In this case a confirmation can be given based on the details you want to change by the developer who will assist.

If you want to manage these tours as site administrator, you may be able to use extra plugins (but such tours wouldn’t be part of theme search , shortcodes, or user dashboard).

Hope this helps.

Thank you

Hi,

I want to change booking calculate. I want to show total price but ı just %40’s want to receive payment online. I want to show you the warning that you will pay at the door for the remaining amount. Like this: https://prnt.sc/pqdisj . İs there possible ?

Does extended support it include these? Or If you can do that, I can pay more.You’re gonna do this and put a price on it?

You’re welcome.

Hi, again me :) can i use booth, pay at the door and ” deposit for instant booking” :)

Hi, We have payment options that can be done in 2 steps.

1. Deposit (paid to admin) 2. Pay remaining balance (paid to admin or you let people handle this outside the theme and hide the button to pay remaining balance in the theme)

Not sure if this answers your question, but if you need further help please let me know.

Thank you

Hi, I have problem with the log in and sign up form on mobile devices, I mean I can’t switch between the register and login form, because the “register” button isn’t under the “Log in” button like on the computers.

Hello ratabalint

Thank you for the comment.

This is what I see on our demo https://prnt.sc/pqjh83

Please send us the details you have to check and guide. Pleas use our client support http://support.wpestate.org/ as it’s private.

Thank you

Hi, I have an already reported problem with the inner message system. When somebody sends a booking request, gets exactly the same message like the boat owner. I mean both get the message ,, Dear A, you have a booking request from B”. But it is not okay when it is sent to ,,B”, because it is written that ,,Dear A…”.

Please help me how to correct this problem.

Hi ratabalint

Thank you for the follow-up.

As explained in my previous reply (if you want, I can copy-paste it here, let me know), the message is the same. It is written in the message that it is sent to the user and to the owner ( but it’s one – the same message).

We send a copy of the message to user who initiates the booking to be easier for him to reply from Inbox by simply hitting reply.

In this case, all we can do is change Dear A – to something general like Dear, of Hello or not send the message at all to user (but this was requested to exist as a feature so we would have to provide a custom code solution just for you if that’s a solution you want)

Please let us know in client support if you want to change one of the above possible solutions http://support.wpestate.org/

Thank you

I have purchased this theme 3 weeks now and it is the freaking hardest thing to get support!!! My website is half finished because I can’t find anyone to answer my questions. The option to comment is soooo tucked a way. My questions: The payout option. For my bed and breakfast website which will serve not only me but other people. I watch the video but the payout is not clear. I would like to set the option that the guests pay ALL the monies (user fee and booking) on the website then I pay it out to the host. Is there and option for the host to setup preffered payout method? Is there an option for the host to pay all the money instead of just user fees? If there is a video with setup please send me link. 2nd question. I noticed a chat support on The website, is it just a dummy thing or it can be set up to work, if so how does that work? Please send video if any. I hope your response goes to my email too. Look h forward to your speedy responas. Time is of the essence

Hi keish777

Thank you for buying the theme. I cannot find your support username to check the tickets open in our client support – http://support.wpestate.org, but if there is something urgent please let me know and will check the tickets (i need the ticket ID). We have a support team from Monday – Friday, Europe timezone and we do everything possible to answer in max 1 business day to each client, but in general we try to answer much faster.

My questions: The payout option. For my bed and breakfast website which will serve not only me but other people. I watch the video but the payout is not clear.

—> This article sums the theme options for payments https://wpestate.org/monetize-wp-rentals-theme-for-submissions-and-booking-requests/

—> As the admin you can ask for a deposit and a service fee (these can be the same value if you wish to take as a deposit just your service fee) in % or fixed value, and this value is deducted from the total booking. As the admin, you can choose if you wish to include in this deposit the cleaning and city fee or not. If you ask for a 100% deposit, the fees are automatically included.

—> Payments always go to site admin (for security reasons, you cannot allow users to pay each other).

—> The user will need to pay the deposit (if admin asks that) in order for the booking to be confirmed (even if the owner approves the booking request). The money goes to the admin.

—> The difference can be paid by the user to owner outside the theme (we have the option to pay the remaining value in the theme as well, but the money goes still to admin).

—> We have developed an add-on in partnership with Rentals Club for clients to transfer PayPal payments from Admin to Owners PayPal accounts

—> The Rentals Club addon for adaptive payments through PayPal was restricted from PayPal end to new clients a few months ago. So only old clients can use that service from PayPal, through Rentals Club add-on that Rentals support for free – https://www.rentalsclub.org/how-payments-management-extension-works/ You may be able to use this for automatic payments.

I would like to set the option that the guests pay ALL the monies (user fee and booking) on the website then I pay it out to the host. Is there and option for the host to setup preffered payout method? Is there an option for the host to pay all the money instead of just user fees?

—> You can put 100% deposit and that will be paid to admin. But please check the above answer about transferring money to owner.

—> WooCommerce is not supported to process payments in our theme. Money can go to different merchants supported by Woocommerce (they have support for over 150 merchants). But the money goes to admin account as well.

If there is a video with setup please send me link. 2nd question. I noticed a chat support on The website, is it just a dummy thing or it can be set up to work, if so how does that work? Please send video if any. I hope your response goes to my email too. Look h forward to your speedy responas. Time is of the essence

—> Chat is a plugin we added to answer questions easier. You can add it too if you want (it’s a free wordpress plugin).

—> I am not sure what kind of video you want to see. I can make one if you cannot find it in our help https://help.wprentals.org/ but I need to know what you need to do.

Help to set deposit is here https://help.wprentals.org/article/1-20-how-to-work-with-deposit-fee-and-service-fee/

Thank you

Hello everyone,

In 2.8 released today we added the WooCommerce + Instant booking option in the theme and user is registered when he makes the deposit (so login is not needed before).

A deposit is needed to be set and paid in this case. Please see a demo here https://demo1.wprentals.org/properties/condo-in-liberty-state-park/ This has been a feature requested by many of you and we’re excited to see this new feature live now.

We also updated the property page login for the situation where login is needed (non instant booking or instant booking without woocommerce). Social login is removed to not create confusion, text is updated to be more clear.

We added Virtual Tour in property page and also the possibility to replace the theme BOOK NOW button with a custom link of your choice (many of you asked to use affiliate link for book now, so this is now possible).

There is a new calendar added to Property Booking Form (same as to Search by check-in and checkout) – modern, fresh, easier to manage.

We added a vertical search that can be created with search custom fields which many of you desired to have as well.

We added other new awesome features as well – if you want to check. https://help.wprentals.org/article/detailed-change-log/

We hope you will like the new features added as they were all added following your feedback (for which we thank you!)

WpRentals Team – http://support.wpestate.org

Is there a Shortcode for the Availability Calendar and Booking Form? –– Cannot locate this in the documentation. Thank you.

Hello thedirector27

Thank you for the comment. We don’t have a shortcode for booking. These are only in the property page (same as availability).

It is possible to use the booking in a page through some custom code and we may be able to give some directions, but this change will need a developer assistance to implement.

Will add to wishlist as well, but for now I can only assist with the directions for which I kindly ask to send us a message in private http://support.wpestate.org

Thank you

hello, aside services, rent and event in add listing page can i add something else like malls and any other things instead of what it is

Hello aaa2121, Thank you for the comment. I am not sure what you want to do I am afraid. Do you want to add to listing extra custom fields? You can add such fields – https://help.wprentals.org/article/property-custom-fields/

Thank you
