  1. As we have learned from the MEWS support team, it is not possible to differentiate reservations by payment type in the POS; differentiation is only possible by rate group. This limitation prevents us from implementing an efficient payment automation that would perform pre-authorizations or charges exclusively on the cards of reservations under the "direct payment at the hotel" model. As a result, we are unable to ensure that other reservations — those that have already been prepaid through an OTA, either via credit card or Virtual Card — are not negatively impacted.

    Our request is to be able to differentiate…

  2. The recent Guest Portal update allows guests to either "Pay Now" which can override automatic settlement schedules, or "Pay Later" which takes no action on the payment settlement, per se.

    The "Pay Now" can appear like a Payment Request triggered by the guest but it reveals little information as to why that happened in the first place to the hotel (especially if they have a future scheduled settlement). Some are also concerned about the visuals, especially how it looks as if there are 2 payments that could be triggered at any point (even if that is not designed to happen).

  3. It should not be possible to invoice payment lines in billing.
    Credit Card payments and refunds can be invoiced atm, but that should not be possible.

  5. Currently Payment Links process payments in full.

    It would be nice to also allow properties to send requests for pre-auth. when a payment is not yet necessary to be captured.

  6. I want to do a deposit for an entire group. But the only way mews is letting me do that is to add it as an item for one person of that group. But then on the invoice it will show only that customer name and room plus 50% deposit for the entire group.
    And only way aparently to add all the room names etc is if i add the item deposit for each separate customer. which for groups of 20 rooms i am not gonna do.

    So would be great if i can either just split a payment or…

  7. Currently, when processing external card payments, users must manually add a surcharge, which can be inconvenient and prone to error. My proposal is to introduce an option—similar to the “Add Credit Card Surcharge” feature available under “Process Payment”—directly within the external card payment workflow. This feature would automatically calculate and apply the appropriate surcharge based on preset criteria, streamlining the payment process and reducing manual input. It will enhance user experience, ensure consistency in surcharge application, and minimize errors.

  8. We would love that Mews develops an integration with the payment gateway called Redsys. It is the most popular gateway in Spain and it would simplify the majority of our payment transactions.

  9. Enhance Mews’ payment processing capabilities that allows to:

    Consume structured payment data from Booking Engine via existing API.

    Recognize external payments processed via PSP and properly flag them as settled within Mews.

    Prevent Mews from triggering settlement policies when a deposit policy is applied.

  11. When the pre-authorization isn't successfull, it is stressfull for our guests to get a payment failure e-mail before their arrival. We would rather solve this with the guests upon check-in. Therefore it would be ideal if we could disable this e-mail from being send, just for the pre-authorization. For other pruposes this settlement failure e-mail is still valuable.

  12. It would be great if the Mews Kiosk asks the guest to tap the credit card they made their payment with at the terminal upon check-in to check if it is their credit card. This will prevent frauds.

  13. Mews needs to support these payment types in their systems. At the moment the Accounting Report does not recognize Visa and Mastercard Debit, as the payment type is not supported. The payment types are now falling under the category "None", and not recognized by our financial package. Soon the Meastro card type will be replaced by Visa and Mastercard Debit, making this important.

  14. When you send a payment link to a checked out guest, it would be great if the payment was posted in the same bill as the items. As it is now it openes up a new bill and we have to move them togheter and close. It would also be great it the bill could be closed.

  15. 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.

  17. Right now, preauthorizations will expire by default after 7 days. It would be great if we could choose that these preauthorizations expire after X number of days (for example, 24 hours after check-out).

  19. When we want to enter a payment the default selected payment method is "online payment". However most of our payments are made via Mews Terminal and we should be able to change the default selected payment method to Mews Terminal (or any other payment method). It would allow us to save time and avoid errors in the processing of payments.

  20. If you have 3DS turned on, but the cardholders bank does not have or chooses not to process the payment without it, you should immidiately warned or asked if you wish to continue.
