  1. We suddenly see cc payments coming through as "verifying" and in a high number too. this causes huge confusion for the guests and often frustration as well as they have to wait for codes from the bank which don't always come through immediately. A lot of guests think we are charging them twice and complain about the procedure.
    we are therefore more and more steering away from using Mews payments and charging through the pdq machine instead.
    any reason why this has changed?

  2. In MEWS there is no option to separately map the google and apple pay in the accounting categories, so they show currently under the wrong GL account.

    Stripe is paying out apple and google pay, while in the setup in MEWS we are forced to have it mapped under Adyen GL.
    Since we directly receive payouts from Adyen & Stripe we need to be able to map these correctly.
    The payouts come from a different company, so you need to be able 1 on 1 reconcile it on the correct GLs.
    We received questions from our auditors, and this is…

  3. I wonder do you have a solution or POS for electric vehicles charging?
    This is a future trend that hotels need to find new ways to charge customers for charging electric cars at the property.
    So, I reach out to you perhaps you already have or can recommend a smart and customer friendly way to handle payments from used electricity/charging car.

  4. Ability to print the Payment Report as it appears on the screen with the different payment type totals, rather than just a list of transactions as the print comes out at the moment. We use these totals as part of our daily banking procedures.

  5. When the reservation is made with the channel "telephone" or "email"
    that mews sends the request to the bank as a MOTO transaction, to hopefully create more successful transactions, and ease the guest journey of guests booking directly over the phone or via email.

  6. It would be great if we could have the option to send payment links either to a phone number or an email address. Sometimes we only have a guest's phone number and no email, so having this flexibility would make the process much easier for us.

  8. There should be a billing automation that automatically sets the linked company as the default invoice owner for items such as accommodation and breakfast as soon as a reservation is created.

    Currently, only preselected companies can be used as automatic invoice owners, which requires selecting many companies manually. This also means the automation will not apply when a guest or their company books for the first time.

  9. Enable users to enable / disable Mews automatic payments of Platform Fees. This is critical to manage cash-flow, and have more control and authority over when, within the given period, each invoice is paid to Mews.

    It's also valid to add a schedule feature for the fees to be paid automatically based on users' (financial manager) decision or preference, on a certain date that does not imbalance cash-flow.

  10. It's important to add more filters to the Payout Report; filters that allow customizing the search such as status (created / settled), date (charge date / reservation date / stay date) and number of commissions / charges without always having to refer to the Mews Payments Balance. These filters will largely help transparency especially to track commission paid for particular reservations or reservations within a certain period of charge or stay.

  11. Ensure accommodation products are linked to the correct reservation when added from an open bill

    Description:

    When working from an already opened bill in Mews, adding an accommodation product via "Add product" → "Accommodation" does not automatically link the product to the reservation associated with that bill.

    Instead, the system selects a different reservation (for example a future reservation or a previously cancelled one), which does not match the current billing context.

    This behavior is not intuitive, as the user is actively working within a specific bill that is already tied to a reservation.

    Suggested improvement:

    When adding an accommodation…

  12. We would like to add a line on the pro forma invoices : the total amount for "VAT" and for "NET", we had a lot of requests about this. It appears on the closed invoices but not on the pro forma invoices.

  13. I think allowing us to restrict vouchers to only certain days would be a positive idea and useful tool. For example, corporate vouchers being available Monday - Friday to ensure the voucher isn't used on weekends during busy periods.

  14. Tips on top of total amount

    We are currently using a WisePOS E payment terminal and would like to enable an on-screen tipping feature. Specifically, we want customers to be able to select a percentage-based tip (for example, 5%, 10%, 15%, or custom) directly on the terminal screen before finalizing the payment.

    The tip should be automatically added on top of the total amount and processed as part of the same transaction. We also need the payment (including the tip) to be properly recorded and reconciled within Mews.

    Please confirm the simplest way to configure this setup and whether this…

  15. To configure the automatic pre-authorization/debit by linking it to the arrival date and rate code instead of by rate group. Increase the configuration possibilities in payment automation by adding day ranges. Very important for BW Hotels with fixed rates and rate groups

  16. We are happy in using MEWS Booking Engine across multiple properties.

    We recently added MEWS Gift Voucher integration and will be launching it on our property websites soon.

    We hope to streamline the process of redeeming the vouchers. A voucher payment method in the booking engine would be awesome!

  17. Many payments seem to be stuck in 'verifying'. Can Mews Payments take the CCV and cardholder's address & postcode in order to fully validate the card when taken over the phone?

  18. It would be extremely helpful if single products could be included in a cancellation policy. At the moment, there are only three options: only the service, all products, or a combination of both. However, in our case, we need only one specific product to be part of the cancellation policy.

    For example, we have to charge a service fee with 19% VAT, while the rest of the room is charged at 7% VAT. We need to reduce the price for the service by, let’s say, €1 (making the total service charge €89), we then need to add €1 as a…

  19. Sería perfecto si pudiesemos tokenizar la tarjeta de crédito de un cliente en el momento del check-in acercándola al terminal de mews, de este modo no tendríamos que hacer pre autorizaciones o cargos para registrar tarjetas de crédito. Opera utiliza este formato y la verdad es que agiliza mucho el check-in.

  20. 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.
