Date Range Filters on Payment Reports Improvement

The Payments Report now includes two date range filters — “Created at” and “Last updated at” — making it easier to pull accurate reports for a specific period.

Filter by creation date: Find payments based on when they were originally initiated — useful for monthly revenue reconciliation.
Filter by last updated date: Find payments based on their most recent status change — useful for tracking recent refunds or payment completions.

The report also now includes a “Created at” column in the CSV export, so you can sort and filter by both dates in your spreadsheet.

Trip Code and Payment Reference in Booking Webhooks Improvement

Booking webhooks (used by Zapier and custom integrations) now include two additional fields: Trip Code and Payment Gateway Reference.

Trip Code: Your internal trip/tour code is now included in webhook payloads — making it easy to match bookings to your own inventory or accounting systems without a manual lookup.
Payment Gateway Reference: The payment gateway’s transaction ID (e.g., your Stripe or Razorpay reference) is now included — useful for reconciling payments between Vacation Labs and your payment provider’s dashboard.

Both fields are available in all booking-related Zapier triggers and can be mapped directly to your CRM, accounting software, or spreadsheet.
