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 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.
