Open up MEWS Payments to other Booking Engines and Voucher Booking tools
We are really happy with Mews as a PMS and we are also happy about the gradual improvements that come over time. So far we have decided not to use the Mews Booking Engine, since we still see too many short comings in functionality for our purposes. We love using Mews Payments even though it's quite pricey.
Having said that, I would like to suggest to open up Mews Payments with all its features like Apple Pay and Google Pay for use in other IBEs as well. I do not like the policy to keep certain features limited to a…

Allow Bills (Folios) or Invoices to be sent to clients with embedded Payment Request link
Would it be possible when previewing/sending Bills (Folios) or Invoices that we can also be availed with the option to automatically embed a Mews Payment request link so our guests can securely pay their bills off?
At the moment properties need to send a copy of the bill first via Mews Operations and then head back to the payment tab to send the payment request link. In addition to that, the Payment Request email isn't as customizable as they desire.

Automatically close bills once balanced to allow pushing to integrated accounting software
It would be useful if Mews could automatically close a bill once it is balanced. This would mean the bill is pushed to integrated accounting software (e.g. Xero) at the time of payment being received, so that accounts can be easily reconciled. Currently, a booking could be made in Mews for several months in the future and payment taken at the time of booking, however the bill will not be closed and then pushed to the integrated accounting software until they check out (or it is done manually). This means accounts cannot be easily reconciled without extra work.
It would…

Address Capture through payment process & AVS enablement
To mitigate against fraudulent card use and the risk of chargebacks, enabling AVS through the payment gateway would go some way to controlling this at the processing stage. By capturing the home address the payment process would compare this against the account address it has on file and based on fraud rules decline or refer.
Additionally, this would be required within the Payment Link process (Adyen platform has this enabled on its direct platform) so request for Mews to align with Adyen on this.
Considerable Commercial impact if accepted....

changing room type
while changing the room type from the property tab under the reservation for the same day reservation or for the future it is hard to change to room type without knowing if the other room type is available on that day or not so while making those changes the mews can show the room type in red if the front desk in moving the reservation to already booked room type.

Payment Report by Department
The payment report is currently filterable by EMPLOYEE.
Filtering by DEPARTMENT would be more useful to us in terms of auditing.

Make credit card terminals available in Canada
Mews Payments doesn't currently support terminals in Canada. This prevents properties in Canada to have a fully automated solution that can be supported with card readers and makes Mews less competitive in North American market given the number of properties that operate both in the US and in Canada.

Guest payment tab - improvement points:
Guest payment tab - improvement points:
- Show if the payment went through 3D secure check so we know if we need to double check the credit card.
- Chargebacks show currently very messy in the overview and no clear status if we submitted information already etc.to fight the chargeback.
- Show all refusal reasons and what action to take. Is the issue on the MEWS side or on the guest side and they need to contact their bank? Sometimes refusal reasons are not clear. E.g. “transaction was declined ()” is this always a system issue between MEWS and Adyen? …10 votesMoving the idea to the upvote section! Thanks for creating it!

Chargeback report/overview improvements
For the chargeback report:
- Link the payments better together like you see them on the guest payment overview with payments & refunds. They are currently mixed in the report.
- Show on the report how many days the request is open, the last events e.g. similar as you can see in Adyen under the disputes.
- Currently there is no way to verify easily if we actioned the chargeback and what the status is. Especially working with a team on this and multiple locations there is no way to check this in MEWS and keep good control on it.

Payment triggers on zero balance
If the balance is zero dont trigger a payment again. In certain cases e.g. group res we precharge and it happens that the payment trigger kicks in again later so they pay duplicate a large amount.

guest receiving notification when OTA vcc is charged
we have had several complaints from guests who received an email notification when we took payments from an OTA vcc. This is completely unacceptable not only because it creates anxiety with the guest, it also now shows them the real cost of their stay!
yes, the cc number is not their own, but they should not receive the notification at all.
there is no way to add the vcc to the PayMaster as our bookings come in via a channel manager and are thus showing on the reservation.
Please investigate and fix or alert us how to prevent this from…19 votesHello from the Mews product team,

Payment report - add (verifiying/pending) pre-authorizations
Please add the option to select pre-authorizations as a type in the payment report.
We want an overview of the pre-authorizations which are pending or verifying. In the payment report there are already status filters for those.
With the new P2D2 rules, with some guest creditcards have to be verified when making a pre-authorization. And it is currently very unclear to see which pre-authorizations are still verifying/pending, without diving into those individual reservations.

Filter preauthorization according 3DS status
The payment report allows to filter payments according the 3DS status (if the payment has been subject to 3DS or not), can we do the same for preauthorization?

Pre-authorization Credit Card Auto-Cancel (Release) Upon Departure
Currently preauthorization holds expire after 7 days in Mews but no cancellation of hold is sent to credit card or bank. The credit card or bank determines when the authorization hold is released depending upon their own policies. If the property sends a cancel for preauthorization the system does send the release to the bank. Is there a way that when a guest checks out, Mews can send a cancel to release the preauthorization hold.
3 votesHi team, if pre-auth is a part of the rate group configuration, we will automatically cancel authorization on Mews' and the bank's side 24h after the guest departs.
However, due to other priorities, we did not work on the automatic cancellation of all pre-auths in all flows after departure, adding this initiative back on the backlog.
Sincerely,
Mews Team

Notification to guest for releasing cc authorization
Once a pre-authorization is done on a guest cc the guest gets an email notification that we took the pre-auth.
At the moment the guest does not receive a notification once the authorization is released. This would be helpful, so the guest has something in hand that we released the authorization. This will also help them to claim back the money from their bank.5 votesLooking forward to hear from how many of you this will help!

Ask for consent in payment request to use CC details for future payments
When sending one payment request we would like to ask consent of the guest to take another payment from the same card.
This occurs for example when having reservations with multiple settlement rules.
