  1. Divide the guest’s payment across the correct booking dates. This makes the payment information clearer, prevents future payments from being displayed prematurely, and minimizes the risk of accounting errors.

  2. We have a lot of guests and travel agents that request to receive a link closer to the check in date, and it would be wonderful if we could schedule the payment link to be sent, rather than manually checking each outstanding payment and reaching out to the guests.

    A scheduled payment link would automate a lot of payment processes.

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. When adding a payment card to MEWS via ChannelManager integrations the provided card should be validated (without charging or preauthorizing) by stripe. As far as I know stripe is able to make a basic validity check and initial estimate of reliability (for fraud prevention) once a card is added. That result should trigger an alert or task to manually check card validity or look in more detail on the respective reservation. This would allow to filter out possible fraudulent reservations at the time of booking.

  7. 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.

  10. 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).

  11. 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.

  12. As we have learned from a support inquiry, currently VCCs are charged only at the day of arrival for certain sources (Agoda, Expedia, booking.com, hotelbeds, webbeds) instead according to the respective rate's payment policy.
    Even though it might be a reasonable default, it would be appreciated to be able to opt for policy based processing, instead of a hard-coded day of arrival charge, on a per source base, as this can off-set cash-flow quite a bit if allowed VCC charges are not processed manually (and having to deleting the scheduled payment, btw).

  13. For OTA prepaid reservations when guest arrive at the hotel, front desk staff takes credit card for security deposit but not necessarily preauthorize the card. Stripe terminal has the capability to capture the card details without preauthorizing the card. Having this feature active, will eliminate the use of external credit card reader to capture credit card details.

  14. 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. 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

  17. 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…

  18. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. Add QR Code as an External Payment Type. Many customers use QR code based digital wallets such as Wechat pay, Paypay and others.
