Problem statement:
- Wander is a newer channel integration that currently does not have its own dedicated markup option in Hospitable
- Hosts connected to Wander cannot adjust pricing to account for Wander's commission fees through the standard markup settings
- This creates a gap compared to other connected channels that do have markup support
Current workaround:
- Hosts must manually adjust their base rate to account for Wander's commission, which affects pricing across all channels
- Alternatively, hosts may need to accept lower net revenue from Wander bookings
Impact:
- Inability to accurately price for Wander's commission structure
- Potential revenue loss or pricing inconsistencies across channels
- Extra manual effort to calculate and adjust base rates
Proposed solution:
Add a dedicated markup setting for the Wander channel integration, similar to the markup options available for other connected channels (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Direct, etc.). This would allow hosts to set a positive or negative markup specifically for Wander.
Unlock:
- Hosts could accurately account for Wander's commission fees in their pricing
- Consistent markup management across all channel integrations
- Better control over net revenue from Wander bookings
