Booking Engine - Total Price

1. Would love to see a "toggle" for guests to see "total price" just like Airbnb does (or give me the option to turn it on "permanently"

2. We mark up our direct booking engine pricing more than Airbnb; with no "airbnb fee" we're still ~5% lower, plus we offer coupons. We get a LOT of messages saying "we wanted to book direct, but your price is higher." This is of course not true, but when Hostaway only shows the nightly rate, it looks ~9% higher - the guest will see $100 on Airbnb & $109 on our site. I think we lose conversions, and that could be solved giving us the option to toggle on Total Price (or letting guests do that). I personally hate seeing the nightly rate breakdown; for STRs it means absolutely nothing due to fees. 

3.  I have no workaround other than complaining. We do use DirectBookingTools as a plugin, which helps if they click into the listing.

  Hi, Chad.
  Thank you for your feedback. This feature is not planned at the moment for 2024. At the moment we are working on next years roadmap and will see if it can be picked up.
