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? …6 votesMoving the idea to the upvote section! Thanks for creating it!

Refunds on cc
Hello, we need to be able to do refunds on a credit card, sometimes higher than the amount paid, in case of complaints and original payment is done via an agent. We sometimes need to give the guest a quick solution. With other payment providers this is optionable but with Stripe this doesn't work.
Preferably processed after Accounting approval only.2 votesWe will look into it

Pay by link
Create a payment page in just a few clicks and share the link with our guests. This development would allow us to share the link in email, text message, web chat and WhatsApp private conversations with our guests. We should be able to choose between debit or pre-authorization.

payment verification status
We suddenly see cc payments coming through as "verifying" and in a high number too. this causes huge confusion for the guests and often frustration as well as they have to wait for codes from the bank which don't always come through immediately. A lot of guests think we are charging them twice and complain about the procedure.
we are therefore more and more steering away from using Mews payments and charging through the pdq machine instead.
any reason why this has changed?2 votesHi team,
Thanks for your feedback.
The reason for that is PSD2 - European regulation that aims to protect fraudulent transactions by imposing additional customer authentication. Across Europe, not every bank has this imposed yet.
Mews built support for this requirement back in 2019, also we've optimized authentications through our own booking channels as well - sharing with you a bit more information in this guide.
Hope that clarifies.
Best regards,
Mews Team

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,

Automated incidentals upon guests arrival
In the US, upon arrival the hotel puts hold (pre-authorizes) the guest card for certain amount/night (it's usually a flat rate). They keep the money on hold and when the guest exceeds their spending (restaurant, spa charges etc that they put on their room), the system should then pre-authorize additional amount. It's like credit the hotel holds for the spending of the guest during their stay.
In other PMS systems you can program the amount either per day (i.e. $50.00 per day on top of the room & tax) or per stay flat rate (i.e. $150.00 per stay). Then, as…

Payments confirming via integrated PDQ
When the payments confirm in Mews after charging thru the integrated PDQ it refreshes all open tabs, which is extremely frustrating.
For example, you are writing notes in a reservation and a payment confirms, the page will be reset and you need start again. 2nd example, the timeline is open on another tab, payment confirms, the timeline resets back to the top.
Would be good that everything does not reset each time a payment goes thru.2 votesHi I am happy to say that we have started working on this feedback! We definitely agree that this is causing troubles and we have taken it directly to our development plan. I will let you know once this is being improved.

Ability to change items on the bill, by name
Hello.
We would like the ability to change items by description on the invoice. For instance, sometimes our restaurant bills has items that need another name on the invoice for the guests / company. It would help, to give items another description manually.

Payment report to include earned revenue period
Can we have the Payment Report in MEWs amended to include the invoice info details in the report: i.e. move-in date and move-out date, similar to the ref information that is transferred from MEWs to Xero. The reason being that we want to be able to identifiy the payments received pertaining to the revenue for which month. It would be great if we have a detailed payment report which could be matched to the earned revenue period for accounting purposes.

Implement ALL payment methods (via Mollie payments)
Many hotels are asking for multiple payment methods (like PayPay, Ideal, Sofort).
Why not interface with MOLLIE?!
A payment platform that integrates all of these payment methods (+ many more) for a relatively low monthly fee plus transaction fees.
(For example Ideal is expensive via Mews: 50 Euro(!!) per month for only using Ideal PLUS transaction fees of 0,45 cent (via Mollie 0,29 Cent)
Check: https://www.mollie.com/en/payments for possible payment methods:
- All major credit cards
- Apple Pay
- Ideal
- Paypal
- Klarna
- Sepa
- Bancontact
- Cartes bancaires
- Giropay
- KBC payment
- EPS

Ability to increase preauthorization when guest exceeds the original amount
We need to be able to increase guest preauthorization when they exceed the original amount. At the moment we can only charge their card for the amount that was preauthorized at check in. If they spent more during their stay but don't come to check out in the morning, there is nothing we can do than just send a payment link. They system doesn't save the guest's card at preauthorization and so we can't add any additional payment. This results in many open accounts when we have to chase guests after departure. Can we make sure cards are saved on…
4 votesHi all, I am happy to announce to you that we are working on the flow that will enable you to increase the amount of the original pre-authorization amount!
Last few months we also made significant improvements connected to the pre-authorizations that are created automatically and manually through Mews terminals, for example, which is available here.

terminal payment
Most of our pre paid reservation guest uses the discover card for the incidental but as the mews does not support the discover card and we can use discover only to charge the guest at least bring pre authorization method on terminal so that if we want to authorize a discover card we can do it from the terminal

Google and Apple pay accounting categories
In MEWS there is no option to separately map the google and apple pay in the accounting categories, so they show currently under the wrong GL account.
Stripe is paying out apple and google pay, while in the setup in MEWS we are forced to have it mapped under Adyen GL.
Since we directly receive payouts from Adyen & Stripe we need to be able to map these correctly.
The payouts come from a different company, so you need to be able 1 on 1 reconcile it on the correct GLs.
We received questions from our auditors, and this is…2 votesHello from the Mews product team.

Be able to accept EFTPOS cards in Australia on Mews/Adyen Terminals
Currently EFTPOS(Electronic funds transfer at point of sale) is not an accepted payment method on the Mews Adyen Terminals.
EFTPOS is a widely used payment method & is issued by Australian banks. EFTPOS cards are not compatible with visa/mastercard.

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.
