New Permission: PMS Configuration
Overview:
Previously, it wasn't possible to grant sub-users access to PMS functions. We've now enhanced the permissions module by adding "PMS Configuration" as an assignable permission, so this access can be granted to sub-users.

Enhancement
The booking delivery status to the PMS, along with the booking's PMS log, is now available under 'View History'. For PMS systems that use a PULL mechanism, the log may contain multiple booking entries — to make the relevant one easier to spot, the booking number is highlighted in yellow. Click here to know more

New Feature: AI-Powered Mapping Suggestions
Overview
This feature is already available to Evo customers. We have now rolled out AI Suggestion, a smart new way to speed up channel mapping for all Max customers. This feature is now available in Max extranet. Look for the AI Suggestion button at the top right of the mapping screen (when available).
How it works:
Enable the channel as normal.
By default, the channel is set to standard mapping mode.
The AI Suggestion mapping tool is only available for new mappings and any pending mappings for a connected channel.
The button to switch to AI Suggestion can be found on the 'Unmapped' page.
Click the AI Suggestion button
The system uses AI to match your unmapped rate plans against the corresponding PMS room/rate combinations
Each suggested match displays a match confidence percentage, so you know how reliable the mapping is
Review the suggestions and manually adjust any mapping before confirming
Complete the remaining configuration as required
Notes:
It's rolling out gradually, so it may not appear on all channels just yet
AI Suggestion only applies to new mappings (new connections / unmapped rate plans)

Module: Channels > Channel Password
New Feature: Disable Inventory Splitting
📌 Overview
We've added a new permission for channels that support inventory at the rate plan level.
Some OTAs manage inventory at the room/rate plan level. By default, to reduce overbooking risk, Max automatically splits available room inventory and distributes it across all rate plans linked to that room type. You can now control this behavior at the property/channel level — if a property doesn't want inventory auto-split across rate plans, simply enable the new flag and Max will stop dividing the inventory automatically.
How it Works / Enable
Channels > Click on channel tile > Edit Channel Password > Enable the toggle for 'Disable Inventory Splitting'
No action is needed unless you want to change the default behavior.
Channels with split inventory logic enabled by default:
HRS.com
Tripmax.in (Formerly BookingDirect)
OTS Globe
Convergent International
Hotelinx
Shiji Distribution Solutions
Readyplanet TravelTech
OpenGDS

New Feature: Currency Converter for Payments
📌 Overview
Rates managed in Max and displayed on the booking engine are shown in the property's default (sell) currency. Properties can be configured for bookers to pay in another settlement currency. SwiftBook will automatically convert the rate to the required settlement currency before passing it to the payment gateway. The property must ensure the settlement currency is supported by its payment gateway.
How to Set Up
Go to Booking Engine > BE Settings > Currency Converter Configuration
Select the Sell Currency (based on the property's currency configuration)
Select the Payment Currency
Booker Experience
Rates displayed on SwiftBook remain in the default (sell) currency
At checkout, the booker will see the converted amount in the selected settlement currency
The converted amount is passed through to the payment gateway for payment
Display: Maximum Guests Allowed
📌 Overview
Previously, only the maximum guest count was indicated. For clarity, we now clearly display the breakdown — the maximum number of adults, children, and total guests allowed for a room type.
NEW Display
The updated display shows a breakdown panel (see screenshot) with:
Adults — max allowed
Children — max allowed
Guests Allowed — max total allowed
