Hostfully

  1. CA is now picking up the correct Reservation amount from Hostfully. Previously it was picking up both reservation amount and SD amount.

Guesty

  1. Reservation date changes on Guesty are now reflected perfectly in CA. This includes changing the payment schedules based on the new dates from Guesty.
