  1. The charged amount of a preauthorization can be seen when you hover over the status charged of the preauth.

    However, if this detail could be offered more openly under the original preauth (just like when you do a refund), it would be a nice detail to have on the page.

  2. None of our guests can check out online if they booked through booking.com or Airbnb. The Check-Out Site shows our guest, that they still have to pay because the payment is still pending from booking.com or Airbnb. So we have to manually add external payment (wire transfer) for each reservation.

  3. Automatic pre authorization renewal after expiration, as long as the check-out date is not in the next 28 days .
    Maximum 28 days is not enough when the booking is in 3-4 months or later.
    Or maybe add an alert on the task manager as soon as the expiration occurs to make the hotel decides if he renews or not.

  4. More granular reporting for all External Payment Types in the Payment Report, especially for hotels that use more than 1 type. Especially for the PDF version - currently, even when filtered, it contains too much data. Narrowing down the data could prove useful.

  5. Wenn eine Umbuchung durchgeführt wird, durch die sich der Zahlbetrag ändert, wird derzeit der falsche (ursprüngliche) Betrag abgebucht, da sich die geplante Zahlung nicht automatisch mitändert. Ich fände es gut, wenn die Umbuchung auch ein Storno und eine Neueinbuchung des Zahlbetrags veranlassen würde, da es hier immer wieder zu Unstimmigkeiten kommt. Entweder kommt es zu der Nachricht, dass die Zahlungskarte (gerade bei virtuellen Kreditkarten) nicht belastet werden konnte, weil die Deckung nicht ausreicht, oder ich muss manuell eine zweite Zahlung über den noch fälligen Differenzbetrag machen. Beides löst manuelle Schritte aus, die bei den ganzen Automatisierungen in Mews unnötig sind.

  6. We would need a more flexibel export time frame.
    As we would need for example the export for the atuel month, the next and the third month in a row on the reservation report.
    It would be great to set a flexibel time on the export.

  8. To save time, when it comes to receivable invoices, we should be able to process invoice payment in the invoice itself instead of going to the dashboard of the customer or company profile.

  9. In Switzerland, outstanding invoices are typically paid using QR codes that include a unique reference number. Currently, we need to manually check our bank account for incoming payments, locate the corresponding transactions, and then close each invoice one by one in Mews. However, since each QR code includes a unique reference that matches the invoice, the process could be automated: once the payment is received, the invoice should be automatically closed in Mews. This would eliminate the need for manual reconciliation and save valuable time.


    En Suisse, les factures en attente sont généralement payées à l’aide de codes QR contenant…

  10. Ich benötige einen kombinierten Bericht, der sowohl die Buchungen und Auszahlungen eines bestimmten Tages als auch die zugehörigen Kommissionsanpassungen (die häufig zeitversetzt erfolgen) in einer Datei zusammenführt. Idealerweise soll dieser Bericht per Knopfdruck generierbar und/oder automatisiert per E-Mail versendbar sein.

  11. Add Transportation Card (IC Card) as an External Payment Type. In Japan, many customers use Transportation Cards and Passes (Suica, ICOCA, etc) as prepaid wallets for payments

  14. When we now set up automatic charges through Mews, we either have to select all products or nothing.
    Unfortunately, for a lot of reservations B&B is to be charged on a credit card, while tourist tax is to be paid on the spot.
    Separating city tax and breakfast would make this easier.

  15. We would like to be able to set certain bills for manual settlement - in stead of mews charging it automatically. Sometimes, guests wants to pay for some items with a different CC than what is on file, and right now the Mews team states that this is not an option right now

  16. When a user is attempting to take a manual preauthorization, it would be useful to see the checkout date on the preauth page - this is a pertinent detail that can help the user decide the amount of the preauth (in the absence of automation).

  17. It would be useful to have the option to restore canceled "scheduled payments" during a grace period for quick correction, especially if it was not intended.

  18. Problématiques actuelles :

    Visualisation partielle des montants sur les factures :
    Il est actuellement impossible de voir clairement le montant avant taxes sur les factures client. Cela nuit à la transparence pour les clients d’affaires et complique la gestion comptable.

    Gestion des tarifs taxes incluses :
    Il n’est pas possible de créer des tarifs taxes incluses non exonérés dans MEWS. Lorsque nous devons corriger un tarif ou ajuster une facture, nous sommes obligés de calculer manuellement les taxes à rebours pour que le montant total corresponde à celui prévu. Cela génère un risque d’erreurs et une perte de temps.

    Manque…

  20. 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…
