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

📅 September 2026 — Notifications on your phone

Week 2 (September 7–12)

✅ Room types with several rooms — a hotel with 27 identical rooms now shows one card per room type with "3 left"; the guest picks how many rooms and BedFlow assigns the room by your rule: own order, evenly (least-booked room), random, fill floor by floor or spread across floors. The room grid gets a group row per type with the number of free rooms per day, collapsible to a three-line hotel view, plus an occupancy row per day. The booking shows how the room was chosen, with a Change room button for another room of the same type. Opt-in per property under My property; without the setting nothing changes. See Room types with several rooms.
✅ Breakfast and cancellation policy visible in the widget — the room card now shows the room's meal plan ("Breakfast included", half board …) and the practical info shows the real cancellation policy: late cancellation with a charge says so, non-refundable says so. Properties with flexible cancellation and no meals see no difference.
✅ Rate options on your own booking site — several rates per room type, e.g. "Standard with breakfast" and "Hot deal — no breakfast, non-refundable", each with its own price difference, meal plan and cancellation policy. The guest picks in the room card; the choice appears in the overview and on the booking. Largest discount wins (option or length of stay, never both); non-refundable means full payment upfront. Without options nothing changes. Set up under Room types → Services & policy; explained in Booking widget.
✅ Add channel under Settings → Integrations — the 130 booking channels are not all tiles by default, but they can now be added: click "Add channel" at the top of Channels, search e.g. Hotelbeds, Reconline or Trip.com and the tile appears with the usual connection steps (property ID, Connect in Channex, mapping). OpenGDS partners point to the OpenGDS tile. The step plans on bedflow.eu/integraties/… now match what you see in BedFlow.
✅ 150+ integrations, each with its own page and step plan — the website said "10+ integrations", while BedFlow reaches 130 booking channels through Channex and OpenGDS, plus twenty-odd direct integrations. The number is now counted from a single catalogue, every integration has a landing page (e.g. bedflow.eu/integraties/natuurhuisje) with, for channels, a step plan you follow yourself: account with the partner, agree the partnership, connect, set your price. New in the manual: All integrations and a zero-to-live step plan in Connecting OpenGDS.
✅ App 1.3.9: the Watch follows your property selection — the Apple Watch now shows only the properties you ticked under Settings in the BedFlow app, just like your phone. Without a selection the Watch shows nothing and tells you where to make one. See The BedFlow app on your phone.
✅ Support included on every plan — asking questions and reporting bugs is now unlimited and free, Micro included. No more counting tickets, the Premium Support add-on is gone. Only work we do on your behalf (set up, enter, adjust) is charged as hands-on work (€9 per ticket), and we always say so first in the ticket. The pricing page now shows the measured reply and resolution times of the last 90 days instead of a promise. See How our support works.
✅ App 1.3.8: BedFlow on your Apple Watch — turn the crown, see who still has to check in or out today, and tap the one button next to the guest. No separate sign-in: open BedFlow on your iPhone and your Watch is signed in too. See The BedFlow app on your phone.
✅ Last arrival time on the channels too — the closing time of your booking page can now also close the OTAs. With Also close today on the booking channels switched on, today closes for arrivals at Booking.com, Airbnb, Google and the rest as soon as that hour has passed. No more evening booking for a night when nobody can check in. Someone calls anyway? Reopen the day in the restrictions calendar. See Booking page.
✅ No-shows no longer sit under "In house now" — a guest who should have arrived yesterday and was never checked in gets their own "No-show" group in the app instead of standing among your guests, with a button to check them in after all. Only on properties that actually use the check-in button.
✅ Bancontact QR in the app — behind the payment button on a booking there is now "Let the guest scan": BedFlow creates a Bancontact payment for the outstanding amount and shows the QR full-screen. The guest scans with their banking app, and the screen closes by itself once the payment arrives. Only shown for properties where Bancontact is switched on. See The BedFlow app on your phone.
✅ SIBA filing for Portugal — every foreign guest is reported automatically to the Portuguese UCFE (Boletim de Alojamento), within the legal window of three working days after arrival. The details come from the guest registration your guests fill in themselves; Portuguese guests are skipped, one incomplete guest doesn't hold up the rest, and anything about to run past the deadline is shown to you. Set it up through the SIBA tile on Connections. See SIBA — Boletins de Alojamento.

Week 1 (September 2–6)

✅ Honesty bar: guests correct themselves — tapping a product that is already on the bill opens a window with plus, minus and the current count instead of silently adding one. Guests who made a mistake had to call you. Every correction lands in the property's Telegram channel, recognisable and with the new count. See Guest portal.
✅ Smart locks get their own notification switch — door notifications sat under "Other notifications" and now have their own entry under Settings → Notifications on this device, off by default. A new device (or a new app version) now inherits your existing choices instead of starting all-on again. See The BedFlow app on your phone.
✅ App 1.3.3: Notifications as the fourth bottom button — the notification list sits next to Today, Rooms and Calendar with the unread count, and tapping a push notification always lands somewhere: on the booking, the conversation or the ticket, otherwise on the list itself. See The BedFlow app on your phone.
✅ App 1.3.2: breakfast and wellness extras from the app — on the guest card and the booking detail you set the breakfast time per morning (or no breakfast), with the same list as on the website; under Wellness on Today you add an extra (cava, bathrobes, …) to the wellness proforma with one tap, total recalculated. See The BedFlow app on your phone.
✅ App 1.3.1: fair statistics and a correct icon badge — the current month now compares up to the same day with last year instead of with the whole month (with the counting rule under the month title), and the number on the app icon follows the notification list even while the app is open. See The BedFlow app on your phone.
✅ Last-minutes on Relaxy — your free wellness slots automatically appear as last-minutes on relaxy.be (preferred times, days ahead and discount configurable) and disappear there as soon as they are taken on your side. Bookings on them go through the same payment link from you. See Connecting Relaxy.
✅ Relaxy connection for wellness — a request on relaxy.be automatically becomes a wellness reservation on your side, with a payment link by email and WhatsApp. The guest pays you, never Relaxy; unpaid requests release the slot by themselves, and a withdrawn request frees it again. Set up via the Relaxy tile on Connections. See Connecting Relaxy.
✅ Google channels from Starter — Google Hotel Ads and Google Vacation Rentals are now part of Starter and up. On Seizoen and Micro the Connections page shows the Google tile as locked, with a button to upgrade; the pricing table and the guide now say so too. See Connecting Google.
✅ Notification list in the BedFlow app — everything that came in as a notification is now also in the app under Notifications, with a badge for what you have not seen yet (also on the app icon). Tap it and you are at the booking, the conversation or the ticket; clear them once you have seen them. The same list on all your devices, kept for sixty days.
✅ Push notifications in the BedFlow app — a notification on your phone for a new booking, a changed booking, a cancellation, a received payment, a new guest message and an update to your support ticket, even when the app is closed. Tap it and the app opens the booking, the conversation or the ticket right away. Which notifications you want is up to you, per device (fewer on your iPad than on your iPhone, if you like), under Settings → Notifications on this device. Works on Android and on iPhone/iPad. See The BedFlow app on your phone.

📅 August 2026 — The BedFlow app in the app stores

Week 5 (August 31)

✅ Combined units — sell a gîte or holiday home as a whole and as individual rooms at the same time. When someone books a room, the whole closes automatically — and vice versa — on your booking page, in the calendar and on all connected channels. With its own price and minimum stay for the whole, correct housekeeping planning and occupancy figures, and a notification on the rare double-sale race. See Combined units.

Week 4 (August 24–27)

✅ BedFlow app for Android live — version 1.0.1 is on Google Play, available in 177 countries. Arrivals, room grid, calendar, housekeeping, invoices and payments on your phone; log in with your regular BedFlow account. See The BedFlow app on your phone.
✅ iPhone and iPad via TestFlight — version 1.0 has been submitted to Apple; if you don't want to wait, you can already test via TestFlight. Request an invitation via support.
✅ Support tickets carry the answer with them — the answer to your ticket is now included in full in the email itself, attachments and all, instead of just a link to the portal.

📅 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.
