TABLE OF CONTENTS


 

ⓘ We'd like to call out a very exciting new item that has been long-awaited and will make many of our customers happy:

  • Introducing the Guest Birthday Report! Easily spot and celebrate guest birthdays with flexible filters, sorting, and a ? icon at a glance.
  • Automate the Onyx Commission Export! You can now enable SEND DURING EOD (Settings > Integrations > Commissions > Onyx, default = off). When on, Stayntouch automatically sends the Onyx Commission Export to your SFTP during End of Day. If the transfer fails, EOD still completes.
  • We’ve added a new ProForma Invoice – Summary by Day layout for both guest and group bills, making charges easier to understand with clear daily breakdowns. Plus, the BILL LAYOUT dropdown is now better organized so you can quickly find the right format.

 

Add-Ons

1. One-Click Add-On Bundling

 

Hotel users can now save time when setting up add-on groups with our new Bundle with Price checkbox in the group header. Instead of manually selecting the bundle option for each component, simply click once and instantly apply the bundle setting to all items in the group. This makes managing packages faster, easier, and more consistent.


 

Reports/Exports

2. Introducing The Guest Birthday Report!
 

Easily spot and celebrate guest birthdays with flexible filters, sorting, and a ? icon at a glance. Export or schedule reports in PMS, CSV, or PDF to add a personal touch that makes every stay unforgettable! Read more here.


3. Automate The Onyx Commission Export

 

You can now streamline your Onyx commission reporting with a new SEND DURING EOD option available via Settings > Integrations > Commissions > Onyx (default = off). When enabled, Stayntouch will automatically send the Onyx Commission Export to your configured SFTP during the End of Day (EOD) process. If the SFTP transfer fails, your EOD will still complete successfully. Read more here.



ID Scanning

4. Skip ID Scanning Depending On Country Or Nationality

 

Automatically skip ID scanning for guests from specific countries or nationalities, helping you comply with local regulations and streamline check-in. Configure exclusions easily in Settings > Hotel & Staff > ID Collection > PMS > SCAN ALL GUESTS > EXCLUDE BASED ON. Read more here.

 

 

Company/Travel Agent Cards

5. Improved Company/TA Card Statistics

 

We’ve optimized the calculations behind the Company/Travel Agent Statistics tab to ensure accuracy and consistency. Revenue now correctly includes group bookings with attached cards, stay counts and revenue are tied to the proper month and year (independent of check-out date), and all figures are aligned with the Company/TA Top Producers Report for reliable comparisons.

 

Financials

6. ProForma Invoice Enhancements

 

We’ve added a new ProForma Invoice – Summary by Day layout for both guest and group bills, making charges easier to understand with clear daily breakdowns. Plus, the BILL LAYOUT dropdown is now better organized so you can quickly find the right format. Read more here.

 

Guest Bill

 

 

Group Bill


7. Smarter Payment Management: Choose When To Release Holds

 

You can now control how long unused credit card authorizations remain active after check-out—choose to release immediately or hold for 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours. This gives you added flexibility to capture charges if guests return or incur extras, while improving cash flow management. Read more here.


8. In Pilot: Detailed Bill Format Made Easy for Walk-In Guests

 

Passerby (walk-in) and interface accounts now support the Detailed Bill – Items format by default, so you can provide receipts with complete item descriptions. Ideal for POS sales and walk-in guests who need clear, detailed documentation—though you can still switch to other formats if preferred. Read more here.

 

 

Multi-Property Functionality

9. Multi-Property Users Can Now Edit Charge Code Taxes

 

Short Version for Release Notes: Multi-Property users can now easily edit or remove tax associations (when the Editable in PMS checkbox is selected from Multi-Property configuration) from charge codes, giving hotels flexibility to manage only the taxes that apply. Read more here.


 

Integrations

10. FLEXIPASS For Mobile Keys

 

Unlock seamless guest access—FLEXIPASS is now available as a mobile key integration via Settings > Integrations > Door Locks > Mobile Keys > FLEXIPASS! Read more here.


 

11. Future Date Range Selection For IDeaS Integration

 

Extend your data horizon! Hotels using IDeaS can now choose how far into the future to send data to IDeaS—365, 540, or 730 days. By default, all hotels are set to 365 days, but you can update this in IDP under Future Date Range (one selection only). Changing this setting must be coordinated with IDeaS to align with your purchased package. This ensures IDeaS can send optimized decisions back to your PMS based on the extended data range.

12. Connect APIs: New GET /posting_accounts/{id}/bills Endpoint

 

You can now access detailed bill information for a posting account—including transferred/routed charges, bill entity details, and the last four digits of the payment card—using the GET /posting_accounts/{id}/bills endpoint, making it easier for partners to track financial data.
