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

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

Week 4 (May 24)

• ✅ TextMeFlow Starter included free from Starter+ — our own WhatsApp + SMS API (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 activation from /account/billing → HMAC-signed magic link → TextMeFlow account auto-created without Stripe checkout. Quarterly invoice gets a €0 informational line "TextMeFlow Starter — included free". Full docs: WhatsApp via TextMeFlow. TextMeBot remains technically supported as third-party legacy, but no longer promoted on pricing.
• ✅ MyTourist eventual-consistency retry — combined bookings arriving before MyTourist's own API is readable (404 on /bookings/{id}) are now retried 3× inline + up to 2× delayed via a queued job (30s + 2min). Symptom we solved: room 3 of a combined 2+3 booking stayed open on the availability grid. No more telegram spam on the first 404 — only after all retries fail.
• ✅ Insights cluster: Statistics is now default — Statistics tab opens first, Communication log second.
• ✅ Hardening: /pricing crash fix for opcache staleness (isTextMeFlowBundled() method instead of constant reference in blade); Livewire root-tag fix on /guest/bookings/{id}; URL audit tourist.openview.be → route('payment.show', ...).

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 (XOR rule via Filament visibility + a model saving event); Bancontact may stay alongside either of them. New mollie_* columns on property_payment_settings, route /webhooks/mollie, blue Mollie button on /pay/{invoice} and a new dot 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.
• ✅ Plan feature flags (SubscriptionPlan::FEATURE_* + User::hasPlanFeature()) — feature whitelist per plan so Filament navigation and pages auto-hide when the plan lacks a feature. Super-admins always get access.
• ✅ GatedByPlanFeature trait — clean gating pattern for Filament pages (Restrictions, CommunicationLog, CreateQuote, Housekeepers). Pages with existing property-level visibility (HousekeepingSchedule, WellnessBookings) use an inline check.
• ✅ Pricing page with 5 columns — /pricing now shows Micro → Hotel side by side (NL/FR/EN/DE/ES/PT/BG), comparison matrix expanded, support-tickets table shows 0 for Micro, JSON-LD AggregateOffer.lowPrice 39 → 19.

Week 1 (May 1)

• ✅ Mini-site webbuilder — dedicated "My website" page for the property owner (not super-admin). Per-property branding (color/tagline/logo/favicon), photos (hero + gallery), text (intro + about), facilities with emoji icons and SEO description. Custom-domain root shows the mini-site when activated; the booking widget remains accessible via the "Book now" CTA.
• ✅ One-click import from existing MyTourist site — paste URL, scrape theme color + photos + facilities + contact + SEO, done in 30 seconds. Critical for MT customers switching to BedFlow without losing their look and feel.
• ✅ Preview URLs — vanity {slug}.bedflow.eu + always-working fallback bedflow.eu/_preview/mini-site/{slug} for demos before DNS cutover.
• ✅ + Item button on proformas — for "customer asked for something extra by email". Adds line, recomputes VAT + totals, regenerates PDF. Works on every proforma (incl MT-source with warning).
• ✅ POS Bancontact + customer link + VIES — mobile POS now has real BC QR, BC prepaid offboarding, name customer with VIES VAT lookup.
• ✅ Folios system — multi-tab billing on a single booking (room / honesty bar / wellness invoiced separately).
• ✅ MT booking sync hourly → 5 min — fresh direct/MT bookings on the grid within 5 min (was up to 60).
• ✅ Customers without property fix + backfill — TenantScope hid Channex-test debtors due to missing property_id; all 4 creator paths fixed + existing rows migrated with merge-on-duplicate-detection.
• ✅ Room 3 paint fix — Channex bookings without roomtype mapping fell out of the grid; payload-name fallback added, plus pills now span midden-arrival to midden-departure (matches "they check in at noon").
• ✅ Quick WhatsApp E.164 normalisation — TextMeBot required international format, hung 30s on 0472… numbers; auto-conversion to +32472… via PhoneNumber lib.
• ✅ Wellness combi booking fix — page showed "already scheduled" for combi guests even without slot pick; check now reads calendar_event_id instead of text match.
• 🐛 Various fixes: country NOT NULL on property-create, opcache reset multi-host, storage:link bulletproof, dangling-symlink detection in diagnostics, deploy.sh robustness.
