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 votesWe have improved the request a year ago. Thank you all for voting and making it priority!

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

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…

Add the company name on Client bank statement
When paying through Merchant, the line on Client bank statement is Mews, this conduct to disputs on some case.
It should be better to have the hotel name on this line so the client can easily identify the issuer.1 voteHi from Mews,
This is the functionality that is already available in Mews. Due to the regulation we are obliged to show Mews' name or its shortcut, but next to that we are sending also the name of the property e.g. MSHotelUnicorn.
Unless not visible, we advice to get in touch with our Support team.

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…

1 voteHello Kaushal Rawal,
Thank you for providing the feedback to our platform.
Apologies for causing any confusion, but as I see you’re US-based account, we do accept JCB, Diners, Discover Club, China Union Pay both online and offline (terminal). Please reach out to your Account Manager and he/she will review your contract and will take a look at what needs to be setup on our side, so you can start accepting mentioned card brands. For integrated terminals with Mews, you can also take a look into this webpage – https://www.mews.com/products/terminals.
Thanks again a looking forward to hearing your ideas in future!

discover and jcb cc
the mews does not allow us to get discover card or jcb card while making the reservation but it does gives you the option to find the reservation which had made payment using the discover card or the jcb card?
i mean how and why this makes the procedure more slow and sometimes guest they need to run to get cash.3 votesHello team,
Thanks for creating this idea!
We have enabled Discover and JCB for terminal payments, moreover, we have enabled same payment methods for the US market. Due to the limitation of our current payment providers (Stripe), we cannot enable the above-mentioned payment methods in the EU but on the other side, we have recorded your request to our partners and your AM will reach out to you for any further update.
If you’d have any other specific request, feel free to create the additional idea.
Many thanks,

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.

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!
