  1. 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.

    Hello all,


    This status update is part of our ongoing work to simplify and streamline how our UserVoice feedback forum operates. We are reducing the number of statuses to two (Idea to Upvote + Released) to help manage expectations about where each idea stands and to minimize the number of status updates required from our product teams. Our product team reviews everything you share, and we might reach out for more info if we need it. 


    Thanks for your patience as we work to bring your ideas to life! You can learn more about the changes coming to UserVoice from this post in the Mews Community.

  4. 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. Please develop auto-fill totals for creating pre-authorizations. Right now, if a guest was to extend or modify their reservation in any way, Mews requires you to literally use a calculator to add up the current authorization(s) and subtract it from what is the new total. This get's really messy when these changes happen multiple times. Having that amount needed field auto-filled would be more accurate, and time effective.

  6. When adding a payment card to MEWS via ChannelManager integrations the provided card should be validated (without charging or preauthorizing) by stripe. As far as I know stripe is able to make a basic validity check and initial estimate of reliability (for fraud prevention) once a card is added. That result should trigger an alert or task to manually check card validity or look in more detail on the respective reservation. This would allow to filter out possible fraudulent reservations at the time of booking.

  7. We would like to be able to change the price of a room even after the day has passed. It would be really useful because sometimes we do some error in the pricing or even with our special fees for government or other. Right now, there's no ways to change it after the night was "spent" since it already has been "used". It's been bringing a lot of problems on our side when realizing during payment and not being able to change it.

  8. Enable Mews Payments to connect directly to American Express network.

    Fine Hotels & Resorts program requires all participating hotels that process more than $1 MIL in AMEX to use AMEX direct connection.

  10. It would be useful to be able to determine a "default Credit card" within the Payments Tab of the guests. Currently, it only offers Preauthorization, Card Payment, Disable, and Clear options.

    This would be most helpful when we need to differentiate between the card for incidentals that should default for the reservation after the VCC or Company card has already been charged for the items they are responsible for.

  11. It would be useful to be able to create custom scheduled payments within the payments section, since sometimes the automated payment fails and disappears (it would be useful to create it again) and sometimes it is necessary to modify it (for example if the originating OTA activates the virtual card only in the check-in date).

  13. Payment requests can be used for custom booking engine to integrate Mews Payments and offer on session payments. The payment request can be created through the API, the ID returned can then be used to embed the webpage into the custom booking engine. It's not great for the guest journey that when the payment request is created, an email is send to the customer as the payment request webpage is also offered on session. An optional parameter for the email send would be solve this problem.

  14. BankAxept is the Norwegian local card payment scheme and is the most widely accepted card for point of sale payments.

    The majority of BankAxept cards are co-branded. From these co-branded cards, almost all cards are co-branded with Visa and some with Mastercard.

  15. It would be great for mews to allow properties to create more external payment methods that we can name what they are e.g. we take a number of different vouchers and we'd like to be able to create external payments that match the name of the voucher names. This would reduce errors with staff.

  16. Many guests book by telephone, therefore don't receive the email requesting their card details - or they ignore it, as do others who book online.
    Please can we have a link to request card details to be added, as there is for preauthorisation and payment requests?

  18. Please add a field in Mews where a client can enter a GL code for the Mews pay commissions charged per transaction, so that this information can be also sent to the Accounting software or any accounting export.

  19. It would help if pre-paid OTA reservations were automatically processed as prepayments in Mews.
    This would save manual work, avoid errors and prevents the guest accidentally paying twice for the reservation at check-in.

  20. 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.
