Shopsys Platform
Shopsys 20 fills in the storefront: product reviews, gift vouchers and delivery dates.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Lodgify and Antavo — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Lodgify's marketplace adds SafeGuest's free guest screening.
Every recent Lodgify changelog entry is a marketplace app. November 11 brought SafeGuest, which verifies guest identity before check-in, flags risky reservations and adds damage protection at no cost to hosts. It follows AirDNA's dynamic pricing on November 10 and BookingTrust and Otamiser on November 6.
Antavo's feed stays on loyalty-strategy posts, now recommerce and unused perks.
Antavo's recent entries are blog posts: weekly loyalty-news roundups, a history of loyalty programs, and this week guidance on loyalty pricing, members ignoring their perks, and loyalty programs for recommerce platforms such as Vinted and Depop. The only product-focused entry, on October 7, describes its Shopify integration and reads as positioning rather than a release note.

Lodgify is filling gaps in pricing, compliance, accounting and now guest risk through partners rather than building them in. Four marketplace apps in six days is the fastest pace in the visible history.
Expect more partner apps at this pace; the entries do not show whether any of them will be folded into Lodgify's own product.

The feed is a content-marketing channel aimed at retail loyalty managers. Product changes are not being published here.
The entries do not support a product prediction; expect more weekly news roundups through the holiday season.
