Ability to send pro forma invoice or invoice with % deposit to secure booking
We are trying to set up our group accommodation billing. We would like to be able to send a proforma invoice or invoice, which shows a 25% deposit due to secure the booking.
At the moment Mews does not offer the possibility to issue an invoice for a percentage of the amount, and i think this would be really useful to develop

Option to Issue Pro Forma Invoices or Invoices with a Percentage Deposit Requirement for Booking Confirmation
As we establish our group accommodation billing process, we've identified the need to issue pro forma invoices or invoices that specify a deposit amount—such as 33%—to confirm a booking. This functionality is particularly essential for group bookings, where securing reservations often requires a partial payment upfront.
Currently, Mews does not provide the option to generate an invoice based on a percentage of the booking total. Instead, the system only allows invoicing for the entire amount, which can complicate transactions and discourage early booking confirmations. Adding a feature to invoice for partial payments would streamline the booking process, make payment terms clearer, and improve cash flow management.
For group and corporate bookings, this capability would offer hotels a competitive edge by providing a more professional and flexible invoicing system. I believe developing this feature would be an invaluable enhancement to the platform, supporting both financial efficiency and improved customer experience.

It is essential for corporate group accommodation bookings to guarantee that the proforma percentage is consistent with the cancellation terms of rates.
