  2. 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…

    Hello,

    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…

  3. 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.

    Hi 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.

  5. A creditcard machine connected to a PC will help to save time and faults at the front desk.
    When connected, all transactions on the credit card machine have to be generated in MEWS. So will be linked on a Product all the time.
    You generate automatically the right profit and charge the costumer for the right amount.

    Met een gekoppelde pin terminal aan de receptie PC scheelt dit tijd en voorkomt eventuele fouten bij de recepties.
    Als deze is gekoppeld worden alle transacties aangemaakt in MEWS. Dan zal er altijd een Product gekoppeld moeten worden. Zodat je de juiste omzet…

  8. 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.

    Hello 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,
    Jovana

    Hello 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!

  13. It would be so much easier to pull the Merchant payout report if the customers name and surname was linked to it. At the moment i have to pull the payment report and reconcile it with the merchant payout report. It takes up a lot of my time
