Major milestones in BedFlow, chronologically (most recent first).

📅 July 2026 — Legal Portugal invoicing via InvoiceXpress

Week 3 (July 13–20)

✅ Portuguese invoices for Alojamento Local — BedFlow now automatically issues AT-certified fatura-recibos via InvoiceXpress: ATCUD and QR code on every document, automatic reporting to the AT (e-Fatura) and a credit note on cancellation. The wizard under Settings → Integrations walks you from API key to série registration; invoicing happens on full payment or at check-out, at 6% IVA or under the art. 57 CIVA exemption (M10). The guest automatically receives the PDF by email in your own branding. See InvoiceXpress (Portugal).

📅 June 2026 — Seizoen tier + guest inbox + smart locks + white-label guest page

Week 5 (June 28 – July 1)

✅ Connect WhatsApp via QR — scan the QR code right on the Connections page and your WhatsApp is linked. TextMeFlow is created and connected automatically for everyone entitled to it (Starter+), with a login button to your TextMeFlow account. The WhatsApp card now shows the active provider, and if the connection drops a banner appears immediately to reconnect.
✅ TTLock smart locks — besides Bold and Salto, BedFlow now also supports TTLock locks for keyless guest access.
✅ Mandatory fees — mark a product (cleaning, linen, …) as mandatory and it is automatically charged on every booking.
✅ Fixed changeover days — only renting e.g. Saturday-to-Saturday? Set fixed arrival and departure days as a restriction; the booking widget and OTAs follow automatically.
✅ Meal plan per property — holiday homes default to "no meals"; breakfast-related screens and mails adapt automatically.
✅ Bold lock unlock page — after unlocking the door guests see a clear, multilingual confirmation page with illustration.
✅ Statistics accurate to the euro — revenue per room now includes renamed rooms and BedFlow-native invoices (with an 'Other' segment), and the "expected" projection only counts definitive bookings that haven't departed yet.

Week 4 (June 22–27)

✅ OTA guest messages in the Guest inbox — chat with your Booking.com and Airbnb guests straight from BedFlow. Threads group by status, close automatically after departure and the inbox is fully mobile.
✅ White-label guest page — your own header, footer and welcome text on the guest page, without BedFlow branding.
✅ Quotes: multiple stays + discount line — a single quote can now contain multiple stay periods and length-of-stay discount appears as a separate discount line. The quote page is now mobile-friendly too.
✅ Mobile guest pages — the entire guest page is optimised for smartphones.
✅ Per-room check-in — on group bookings you now check in room by room, each at its own moment.
✅ Printable booking list — print a tidy booking list straight from the bookings overview.
✅ 30 days free trial — the free trial is now 30 days everywhere, no credit card required.
✅ "My subscription & invoices" in the sidebar — manage your BedFlow subscription, invoices and payment method at the top of the left navigation. See Subscription & billing.

Week 1–3 (June 1–21)

✅ Seizoen tier €79/year — new plan for anyone renting a single holiday home: 25 bookings per year included, €5 per extra booking.
✅ Smart locks for guests — Bold and Salto locks connected: your guest unlocks the door from the guest page.
✅ Accounting connections Billit & Octopus — besides Yuki you can now push sales invoices to Billit or Octopus, configured on the Connections page.
✅ VRBO as a channel — connect VRBO self-service from Connections.
✅ Month view in the room overview — availability per month at a glance.
✅ Length-of-stay discounts on OTAs too — your discount profiles (from X nights) now also apply on Booking.com & co.
✅ Invoices per property — your own invoice prefix and PDF colours per property.
✅ Move bookings & change dates — explicit room moves for OTA bookings + date changes with a price preview.
✅ Guest page extended — Spanish and Italian as guest languages, restaurants section and outstanding balance next to the invoice overview.
✅ Automatic guest mail language — the language of guest mails is derived from the guest's country and phone number.

📅 May 2026 — Webbuilder + Micro tier + Mollie + TextMeFlow bundle

Week 5 (May 25–31)

✅ Statistics: origin, cancellations & lead time — three new analyses: origin per year with average spend, a cancellation overview and a lead-time distribution with share per channel.
✅ Smart drag & drop room moves — drag a booking to another room, with automatic price recalculation and warnings on OTA bookings.
✅ Edit invoice lines — adjust items on a proforma or delete rows, straight from the card in the room overview.
✅ Register payments manually — record cash or bank transfer on the proforma and from the Today cards.
✅ Re-mail an invoice — envelope action on every invoice.
✅ Wellness payments visible — pay button and red € badge in the room overview for unpaid sessions, plus reactivating expired wellness bookings.

Week 4 (May 24)

✅ TextMeFlow Starter included free from Starter+ — our own WhatsApp + SMS service (EU + GDPR + anti-ban) is now included free with every BedFlow subscription from Starter onwards (Micro deliberately excluded — first upgrade bonus). 500 messages/month. One click on the My subscription & invoices page and your TextMeFlow account is created and linked automatically — no separate checkout. The quarterly invoice shows a €0 line "TextMeFlow Starter — included free". Full docs: WhatsApp via TextMeFlow. TextMeBot remains supported as legacy, but is no longer promoted on the pricing page.
✅ Combined bookings processed more reliably — a room of a combined booking (e.g. rooms 2+3) sometimes incorrectly stayed open in the room overview when the booking had only just come in. BedFlow now automatically keeps retrying until the booking is complete, without unnecessary error messages in between.
✅ Insights cluster: Statistics is now default — Statistics tab opens first, Communication log second.
✅ Stability improvements — fixed a crash on the pricing page, fixed a display issue on the guest pages and cleaned up outdated links to the payment page.

Week 2 (May 12)

✅ Mollie payment gateway — in addition to Stripe we now also support Mollie as a card-payment gateway. Especially relevant for NL operators who want iDEAL included without Stripe-style fees. Per property you pick either Stripe or Mollie (BedFlow automatically makes sure they are never both enabled at the same time); Bancontact may stay alongside either of them. Your guest sees a blue Mollie button on the payment page and Mollie gets its own tile on the Connections page. Full setup doc in Setting up Mollie.
✅ Micro tier €19/month — new entry-level plan for holiday rentals and micro B&Bs with 1-2 rooms. Always-on basis (Channex, payments, email automations, guest portal, basic reports), without facilities, housekeeping, wellness, communication log, quote tool, restrictions grid and advanced statistics. Targeted at operators who would otherwise pay €21 at MyTourist.
✅ Features follow your subscription — the menu now only shows the features included in your plan; pages that are not part of your subscription are hidden automatically.
✅ Pricing page with 5 plans — the pricing page now shows all tiers from Micro to Hotel side by side, in 7 languages, with an expanded comparison table.

Week 1 (May 1)

✅ Mini-site webbuilder — dedicated "My website" page where you manage your own site. Per-property branding (color/tagline/logo/favicon), photos (hero + gallery), text (intro + about), facilities with emoji icons and SEO description. Your own domain shows the mini-site when activated; the booking widget remains accessible via the "Book now" button.
✅ One-click import from existing MyTourist site — enter your URL and BedFlow automatically fetches the theme color, photos, facilities, contact details and SEO texts — done in 30 seconds. Critical for MT customers switching to BedFlow without losing their look and feel.
✅ Preview URLs — your mini-site is instantly viewable at your-name.bedflow.eu, plus an always-working preview link to check everything before you switch over your own domain.
✅ + Item button on proformas — for "customer asked for something extra by email". Adds a line, recomputes VAT + totals and regenerates the PDF. Works on every proforma (including MyTourist invoices, with a warning).
✅ Mobile point of sale (POS) — real Bancontact QR, unlinking a Bancontact prepayment and linking a customer by name with automatic VAT-number verification (VIES).
✅ Folios system — separate bills on a single booking (room / honesty bar / wellness settled separately), each folio with its own invoice.
✅ Bookings reach your room overview faster — fresh direct and MyTourist bookings appear on the room overview within 5 minutes (was up to 60).
✅ Fix: invisible customer records — some customers did not show up in your customer list; those have been restored and duplicate records were merged automatically.
✅ Fix: OTA bookings always visible in the room overview — some channel bookings did not appear in the calendar; that is fixed. Booking bars now also run from noon on the arrival day to noon on the departure day (matches "they check in at noon").
✅ WhatsApp now also works with local phone numbers — numbers like 0472… are automatically converted to international format (+32472…), so messages no longer get stuck.
✅ Fix: wellness on combined bookings — the wellness page sometimes incorrectly showed "already scheduled" for guests of a combined booking who had not yet picked a slot.
🐛 Various small fixes and stability improvements behind the scenes.
