Multiple automatic settlement rules
Automatic settlement is a great tool for automating payment collection from guests, however it is not currently possible to apply more than one settlement rule. Properties may rather prefer to add several rules that work together for a custom payment scheme. For example, take 20% of payment upon creation, 30% one week before arrival, and the remaining 50% on the reservation start date.

Preauthorizations improvements
We welcome guest that stay more than a week inside our properties. Preauthorizations get cancelled automatically after 7 days which creates an issue for us, in case of broken furnitures in the property or unpaid bills. For this purpose we should be able to create preauthorizations of more than 7 days.
76 votesThe change in preauthorizations was released in 2022, unfortunately, we missed updating its status.
Now manually created preauthorizations through Mews Payments can be selected to expire up to 28 days from the creation day. Also, for automatically created preauthorizations Mews releases the preauthorization 24 hours after your property's configured check-out time. Please read about it more here! https://help.mews.com/s/article/preauthorize-a-card-payment?language=en_US

Card Surcharging (Australia and New Zealand)
Since credit card fees are often inevitable, you could eliminate some of these costs by including an extra percentage cost for customers who choose to pay by card. One solution is to extend your Merchant with automatic credit card surcharge fees, which would cover the cost of any extra unwanted fees and help manage your property's revenue goals.
27 votesHi All,
Happy to announce that surcharging is released in Australia and New Zealand, now you can set up fees by yourself and recover expensive payment card costs!
Looking forward to hearing from you at some other idea! -

Notification e-mail or task set-up for failed 3D secure payments
With the possibility of 3D secure payments failing, there is a chance this payment is missed and not followed-up.
It would therefore be convenient to receive a notifcation e-mail of failed 3D secure payments. Alternatively, a task could be set (automated).14 votesHi all,
Happy to announce that we released your idea! Now, emails will notify you that the 3DS payment has failed. Looking forward to hear more from you!

Combine the Payments and Settlement Reports so that we can see this information in one: Created date (day payments were taken), Total amount taken by merchant [Stripe], Total commission fees, Amount Settled, Date Settled.

Improove 3D secure confirmation as per EU Regulation.
At the moment this is what happens:
-The guest makes the reservation.
-The system sends him the confirmation
-The system sends a second email where it asks to authorize the payment.What happens if the guest does not authorize the payment?
We can cancel the reservation but if the guest will arrive and we will not have the room available for him we would miss our commitment because he will have in his hands our confirmation.
On the other side, if the guest will make a no-show and we will charge him, the same guest will have the right to…
8 votesHello,
Thank you for your feedback.
Mews is fully optimized for processing payments under the PSD2 regulation.
We are maximizing payment acceptance by asking the guest to authenticate the payment whenever the bank is requiring the authentication.
In the booking engine flow, for example, the guest will see a bank’s page pop-up as a part of the check-out flow, if the payment is not successfully authenticated, according to the PSD2 rules, Mews won’t be able to charge the guest. If payment is authenticated, in guest profile you will be able to see that the payment is successful.
If you’re charging the guest on the card that was not previously authenticated by the guest, if the bank, at the time of the payment is requiring the biometric or SMS acceptance via bank code, as the guest is not present at the time of the payment, Mews is sending the email to…

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…
