  1. At the moment the only payment method when checking in online is with a credit card. It would be very useful for us in the Netherlands if guests could check-in online with iDEAL and fulfill the payment in advance.

  3. we have had several complaints from guests who received an email notification when we took payments from an OTA vcc. This is completely unacceptable not only because it creates anxiety with the guest, it also now shows them the real cost of their stay!
    yes, the cc number is not their own, but they should not receive the notification at all.
    there is no way to add the vcc to the PayMaster as our bookings come in via a channel manager and are thus showing on the reservation.
    Please investigate and fix or alert us how to prevent this from…

  4. We would love to see more intelligence when it comes to the automatic settlement policies. For example if we have a booking that pays 25% at time of booking, and 75% a week before arrival, the system will not take into account any payments made in between those two events. If the customer decides to pay their booking early, we rely on human intervention to cancel the scheduled payment, or the guest will get charged twice. We also have the option to close the bill to avoid re-charging, however this is impractical for us due to other complications with closed…

  6. To mitigate against fraudulent card use and the risk of chargebacks, enabling AVS through the payment gateway would go some way to controlling this at the processing stage. By capturing the home address the payment process would compare this against the account address it has on file and based on fraud rules decline or refer.

    Additionally, this would be required within the Payment Link process (Adyen platform has this enabled on its direct platform) so request for Mews to align with Adyen on this.

    Considerable Commercial impact if accepted....

  7. Guests get a standard e-mail from mews that they have to fill in their credit card details, while some guests prefer to transfer the money or have paid through a channel as hotels.nl. Can we get an option to fill in if guests are paying with their credit card or otherwise, so not everyone gets the e-mail.

  8. With implementing automatic preauthorizations, there are many more opportunities to automate other payment processes. Within the Guests in house report, properties can check for customers that may still have an outstanding balance. Using this information, we can automatically create preauthorizations for any guests that have an open balance posted to their account. The preauthorizations can be created for a larger amount in case of additional expenses, however, please note that this feature would exclude customers that have a balance due to a future stay, as it would not be necessary for those guests.

  9. It would be useful if Mews could automatically close a bill once it is balanced. This would mean the bill is pushed to integrated accounting software (e.g. Xero) at the time of payment being received, so that accounts can be easily reconciled. Currently, a booking could be made in Mews for several months in the future and payment taken at the time of booking, however the bill will not be closed and then pushed to the integrated accounting software until they check out (or it is done manually). This means accounts cannot be easily reconciled without extra work.

    It would…

  10. When opening a guest bill in check out, a pop up/alert that tells you something that we can plan in advance, so that we don't need notes somewhere to remind us what to tell the guest.
    SO that we don't miss notes or important informations

  11. Many hotels are asking for multiple payment methods (like PayPay, Ideal, Sofort).

    Why not interface with MOLLIE?!

    A payment platform that integrates all of these payment methods (+ many more) for a relatively low monthly fee plus transaction fees.

    (For example Ideal is expensive via Mews: 50 Euro(!!) per month for only using Ideal PLUS transaction fees of 0,45 cent (via Mollie 0,29 Cent)

    Check: https://www.mollie.com/en/payments for possible payment methods:
    - All major credit cards
    - Apple Pay
    - Ideal
    - Paypal
    - Klarna
    - Sepa
    - Bancontact
    - Cartes bancaires
    - Giropay
    - KBC payment
    - EPS
    - Belfius…

  12. All automatically processed preauthorizations are recorded within the payments section of the customer profile. However, as part of the current transaction state, it is not visible in case a preauthorzation was not successful in logs and not possible to distinguish failed payments email from failed preauthorization one.

  13. We have a lot of guests who get double charged because we use the Scheduled payment option. When they get the chance to pre-pay, the system does not remove the scheduled payment, but only creates a task, so we manually have to remove it. It would be a great feature if the automatic settlement would be removed automatically instead of just making a task.

  15. Option to enter amount that we want to assign as the credit limit for the payment method. And then have the option to report all guests whose current balance is greater than the credit limit assigned to the payment method.

    Would be great to receive an automated email from Mews when credit limit has been reached.

  16. I suggest that it be visually indicated on the payment tab of a profile, if the pre-authorization or payment by card has been accepted by 3d secure.

    For avoid to ask each customer who has prepaid for their credit card to check if they are entitled to use this card and avoid fraud.

  17. More and more people are ordering things over the internet by just paying with their debit card and using maestro.

    It is time for mews to integrate a system where the guest can immediately pay with a debit card and does not have to worry that he does not have a credit card.

    OTA's are accepting debit cards and the hotels can nothing do with it.

  19. Currently, only online payments should marked in Mews with a badge, however for properties that prefer manual terminal payments, it seems that any payments with a matching identifier appear in a confusing way, as they are then marked with a badge. For this reason, it could be very beneficial to create a more noticeable way to distinguish these two types of payment in Mews.

  20. AirBnB is a growing platform for hotels. They work with bank transfers, in order to balance the bill, we have to post a manual 'reseller payment' at the moment. This is not very logical for most receptionists. It would be better to have a payment option called 'AirBnB payment'.
