Guest Portal Release Notes - 2 November 2026
Version 5.26.304.7
This release brings fixes and improvements to Guest Portal across payments and cancellations, check-in and check-out, guest messaging and language support, along with routine security and reliability updates.
Payments & Billing
- Improved: Verifone payment requests from Guest Portal now include the account ID. This helps trace payments that succeed in Verifone but are not recorded in RMS, and applies to properties using Verifone.
- Fixed: When a guest cancels a reservation through Guest Portal, the cancellation charge now includes the net cancellation amount and the applicable taxes calculated on that amount.
- Fixed: Pre-authorizations are now taken based on the property configuration and not before the arrival date. This applies to properties that require a pre-authorization at check-in.
- Fixed: Guests now see all of their saved cards in Guest Portal, not just one.
- Fixed: Guests can now add and view saved credit cards from their profile on mobile.
- Fixed: The invoice page now loads normally after a refresh, with labels and invoice details showing as expected.
- Fixed: Resolved an issue where some guest payments in Guest Portal failed with an invalid currency error.
- Fixed: When a guest pays by card in Guest Portal at a property using Stripe with RMS 9+, a card token is now saved to the client record. Staff can see the card on file, take later payments and process refunds without asking the guest for the card again.
Guest Communications
- Fixed: Messages guests send through Guest Portal, including those sent using Message property, and interactive forms submitted for approval now alert staff in Message Centre. No setup is needed.
Reservations & Bookings
- Fixed: Guests who check out online using the Guest Portal check-out link are now departed in RMS automatically, so staff no longer need to depart them by hand.
- Fixed: Requirements added by guests in Guest Portal now follow how each requirement is set up, such as a default start date before arrival, instead of always defaulting to the arrival date.
- Fixed: Resolved an issue where guests could not sign in with their online booking number due to a database connection issue.
Compliance & Localization
- Fixed: Guest Portal now defaults to English for all properties, and guests can still switch to French.
- Fixed: Error messages on the OpenEdge payment screen now display in French (Canadian) when the guest’s browser is set to French.
Security & Data Protection
- Improved: Strengthened security protections across Guest Portal following routine third-party security testing. No action is required.
Performance & Reliability
This release includes behind-the-scenes updates to keep Guest Portal stable and reliable.
- Improved: Digital Registration Card sign-in is more reliable for guests using check-in tablets.
