  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  8. 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…

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. When a payment link has expired, we would like to have the availability to resend the payment link or extend the deadline without having to remake the entire link. This would make it easier when a guest forgets to pay by the expiry date.

    If we could extend the deadline, it would be ideal if the guest would receive an update of this as well.

  14. 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.

  15. 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…

  16. Enhance Mews’ payment processing capabilities that allows to:

    Consume structured payment data from Booking Engine via existing API.

    Recognize external payments processed via PSP and properly flag them as settled within Mews.

    Prevent Mews from triggering settlement policies when a deposit policy is applied.

  17. When you send a payment link to a checked out guest, it would be great if the payment was posted in the same bill as the items. As it is now it openes up a new bill and we have to move them togheter and close. It would also be great it the bill could be closed.

  18. I would like mews to send proforma bills to the guests automatically 24 hours/ or xxx time (to be determined per property) before departure, to avoid long time at check-out of reviewing items and solving potential problems quicker.

  19. Our guests make a down payment at the moment of booking of 50%, and for the second half of the payment, we have to send out manually a payment link. It would be great if Mews could create a payment llink automaticallly (xx) weeks before arrival of the guests. It would safe a lot of time. following up on this, it would be great if there was the possibility to automatically get a task if the bill is still open 10 days before arrival.

  20. At the Point of Sale or Via Billing or Payment Screen: When you make a purchase in a foreign country, the payment should offer visible conversions of the transaction amount before the user posts it - especially for cash transactions.

    Real-Time Conversion: The conversion happens instantly, showing you the amount in both the local currency and your home currency.
