Hello, I am new to Mews. I wanted to know how to activate the “alternative payment methods” plugin for the Mews Booking Engine Widget. Thanks

Hello,We use parking as a bookable service. Just like the hotel, it has a timeline. The hotel timeline shows; the parking timeline does not. Anyone can help? Thank you!

Hi hope someone can help.We are going to be updating our rates that are currently set up. When we include a New item, the old item is not deleted from a booking already in the system. This means we have to go into each individual booking and cancel the item we don’t want included anymore. Can anyone suggest another way to do this to make it easier?

Hi :)We want to offer our guest a 10% discount if they sign up for our newsletter.How can we do that ?If i make a voucher i Mews, they can use it many times. But i want the voucher to be valid for just one booking.

How do you handle guest profiles if they pass away? Is there a best practice?Unfortunately there is no classification for that right now which would make sense i guess. So right now we remove all mailing checkboxes (newsletter, postal) and add a guest notice.

Hi all, Is there anyone that really uses the Mews Analytics here?In my opinion it’s way to slow. Most of the time you have to made about 10min before all data is loaded.If you change one of the filters or want to dive deeper, it takes ages again to load… It's so bad, you often just get errors that data cannot be loaded due to a timeout. Who has time to wait so long if you just want to look something up quickly? Anyone here that has a different experience and is actually able to use this feature properly?

Hi everyone, Does Mews have a report where the booking window is displayed?I would like to know how short (or long) in advance guests book rooms, and preferebly where they book it (their origin).Is there some sort of report already available? Thank you in advance! Robin Lindaart

HiI'm going live with Mews next week and would like to know how you’ve set up Expedia and Booking. Expedia:I’ve created all the brands as companies with travel contracts. I want to make sure that bookings made through Expedia Collect are routed properly, so the team knows that these bookings have already been paid by the guest to Expedia.I’ve also made a special rate plan for Expedia VCC because we charge the credit card the day before arrival (we need full payment since our reception isn’t open 24/7, and guests must pay before accessing their room). The problem is that the VCC is only valid on the day of arrival. Now, I’m considering deleting this rate plan and relying on the routing for all Expedia Collect travel agents instead. I’m curious about how you set up your rate plans and routing for Expedia. Do you have separate rate plans for Expedia Packages, business rates, mobile, etc.? Booking:We have a mandatory cleaning f

Hi, i need you help. In my Trial Balance report, i have an amount posted under account category Other.How can i find out what is posted here ? 

In looking for information on how to block a Guest in Mews, a page listing the classifications and their meanings was presented. The term “blacklist” is a derogatory term offensive individuals who identify as black, as also mentioned by one of my Staff members who is of African American descent. Respectfully, please remove this term throughout the Mews platform. Last year or earlier this year, I requested this to be changed in the classification drop-down menu and this was done. I expected that Mews would have searched the platform and changed this everywhere but this is another location where it has resurfaced. 

Dear MEWS Community,Screen real estate is precious, especially when managing reservations, yet there are many ways to maximize the use of this limited space. A simple improvement would be to display more information in the hover-box that appears when you mouse over a reservation.Currently, the hover-box only shows the guest's first and last name along with their arrival and departure dates. This information is almost redundant, as it’s already visible on the timeline screen. Additionally, the hover-box is relatively small compared to the available screen space, which leaves room for more relevant details.Why not make better use of the hover-box by adding more useful information? The possibilities are endless. Here’s an example of what it could display:Name: Mr. Donald Duck Dates: Sun 29.09.24 - Mon 30.09.24 (1 night) Rate: Flexible Rate Total Amount: 888 EUR Note: This is a sample.Ideally, these settin

Hello, Just checking if I’m the only one here having this issue? Normally speaking, when we receive a reservation via Booking.com, the credit card details are automatically loaded into Mews (in the payment methods). Now this is not the case, and we have to do it manually. Anyone else with this issue? I thought this might be an issue on the side of the channel manager, but other OTA cards load in correctly. Thank you.

Are there any best practices in entering guest extensions to ensure KPI tracking is correct (eg sales channel, number of guests etc.) and avoid conflicts with OTA trackings which trigger a commission?Any tips would be helpful. Thank you!

What report can i create in Mews that will give me an overview of No Shows like this ?  

Basically I have an Employee X who created a Customer Profile at a certain date. Then changes to that profile has been done over a certain period of time. Then this profile was deleted from Mews, meaning that the customer profile does not exist, it was merged with another profile or deleted altogether.I want to find out that happened to that delete customer profile and what are the actions that were done by that employee on that profile. Knowing that the customer profile doesn’t exist anymore, I cannot go to the action log of that profile, neither do I have an action log for the employee X to know what that employee did. Action Log and Activity Report do not provide that information.Help.

How can i use my own stripe account as a payment method

In an effort to leverage the Guest Journey within Mews, I have updated our Checkout Invitation to include a note about adding gratuities as part of checking out online and added this to the ‘Rules’ for checking out online. I’m trying to determine whether there is a best practice for doing this already in use by other properties or if there are recommendations for how to improve the process I’ve created. Am I missing any other areas of communicating this within the Guest Journey? I am planning to add an in-room printed piece to the physical Guest experience, drawing attention primarily to the ability to checkout online the day before through the morning of departure and, as a ‘by the way’ mention, including a line about the Guest’s ability to express his/her appreciation for the service and hospitality they’ve experienced during their stay.Within Documents, there’s no option for Instructions, so I chose Rules and I believe this is visible to the Guest only in

Hey Community,  We are seeing a huge potenial in having bulk updates for the room status, we basically need it to be able to make sure guests dont check-in in to early without paying the early check-in fee but still give the oppertunity to have everything ready before coming to the hotel. We use the goki online check-in for that and if a room is on inspectedand the guest checks in the reservation starts automatically even before official check-in time.Idea is to make it possible to change all clean rooms automatically to inspected on a specific time. Does anyone know if this would be possible to build with zapier?   Best regardsHendrik  

Is it possible to create a field in a reservation to be able to add a baby in the room (0-2 years) 100% free of charge? If the reservation is booked as including breakfast rate and we want to add a baby we need to add a child but the will modify the including breakfast rate.

Dear Mews Community,I'm looking for a person who has more in-depth knowledge of Zapier. I would like to do some automation with the integration, but I haven't quite gotten through it yet. As an example, in addition to many other automation ideas, I would like to know if the following automation is feasible:I would like to generate a Google Sheet daily with all reservations in the house. I know there is the "Guests in the House" report within Mews, but I would prefer to map this via Zapier to bring the data directly into an appropriate format.Unfortunately, I couldn't find a pre-built trigger within Zapier for this. There is only the trigger for new reservations, but not for existing ones.Does anyone know whether this is may possible with Webhooks by Zapier for example?I would be very happy to have an exchange partner on this topic.Best regardsNiclas
