Hallo zusammen,nutzt jemand von euch Hijiffy als Chatbot bzw. als Kommunikationstool per whatsapp?ich würde gerne wissen ob hier der Online Check-in per Whatsapp verschickt werden kann. laut meines Wissens gibt MEWS diesen “link” nicht frei?Hat hier jemand mehr insights?

When guests use these services, for instance by having their card stored in their mobile or watch, the card cannot be reactivated for payment of food or other items. This happens because the technology behind it has created a virtual card number (different from the guest’s real one). I’m wondering if anyone knows a workaround? Thanks!

We are new to MEWS. To the users that have experience with MEWS and ID Scanning, which ID scanner do you you recommend for MEWS at front desk running windows PC? For example Logitech webcam, any specific ID scanners, etc. Please suggest some options. Thank you in advance.

Hi Everyone, In our old system the housekeeping report would show linnen change after the guest stayed for 3 nights.how can i see this in Mews?thank you. :) Manpreet

Hello,is there a way to hide the room rate on the reservation confirmation when the guest has made their booking through an OTA that will pay for the room with a VCC? Our issue is with Expedia bookings that are paid with Expedia VCC; and we receive Expedia reservations through iHotelier channel manager.I know that there is a general setting to exclude reservation confirmation sending for bookings through a channel manager, and that the email editor has a condition ‘Unless there is a travel agency’ available, and that by configuring billing automation the room charges can be directed to the OTA. We do want to send the reservation confirmation to the guests booking through an OTA  We would like exclude specific OTA bookings, like Expedia channel-collect bookings, from having the room rate displayed.  I believe - I do NOT know as I haven’t tested this - the billing automation cannot be modified so that the room charges are routed to the OTA as this would disable the automated VCC payment

We use the wireless terminal at the Front Desk, and our Wi-Fi is fast. It works very well overall, but there is a delay between when you charge the guest and when the payment is posted to the bill.Sometimes the guest becomes unsure and asks us questions like: “What does it say here?” Often the terminal displays messages such as: Enter code Multi currency Various messages about why the transaction didn’t go through Card not read correctly It would be great if the terminal’s status messages were also shown in the Mews UI, so that staff could follow the payment status and assist the guest when they ask questions on what steps to take.Just like you currently see a short confirmation in the upper right corner when a payment has been completed, it would be helpful to also see the status before the payment is finalized. Is there a setting for this? Does anyone know?

We have multiple integrations with tour operators, including Booking.com. With some of these partners, we settle commissions. Mews currently offers a global commission calculation, but this setup is insufficient for our Finance department.For example, if the commission is 15% and the hotel price (including breakfast but excluding city tax) is €100 on Booking.com, is there a way to record €15 as commission and €85 as accommodation & breakfast?If so, could you please advise how we can configure this in Mews?It’s important that the guest does not see the split between the commission and the accommodation.Thank you in advance for your help.

Ist es richtig, dass man die auszuwählenden Klassifizierungen (Fluggesellschaft, Militär, wichtig,...) nicht ändern kann? Ist das in nächster Zeit geplant? Das wäre sehr wichtig - sicher nicht nur für uns. Vor allem in Bezug auf unser CRM für die Übertragung der Kundenkategorie… Bitte um Rückmeldung! 

When charging Secret Escapes Virtual cards in Mews, it's sending the guest a payment successful email, but does not for our other OTA virtual cards?

What is going on with the rate management? Until yesterday I could simply select a date, a window would open up, and I could override the price.Now I first have to select the date, then a window opens with the pricing details, then I have to select ‘edit’, then I have to select the date, and only then can I change the price (‘Base price (incl. tax)’*)Is this something temporary? 

Hallo zusammen,wir haben aktuell das Thema mit der MEWS WBE und der SIchtbarkeit auf Google (Google Ads)Als Partner arbeiten wir aktuell mit Rategain zusammen.Dies funktioniert nur so “semi” erfolgreich, wir haben in manchen Hotels die volle Funktion, in manchen werden wir zwar als günstigste Plattform angezeigt wenn man dann aber den entsprechende Link anklickt stimmt der auf google angezeigte Preis nicht mit der WBE überein.Habt ihr hier Erfahrungen?Wir wollen vermeiden auf eine andere WBE wie HNS oder ähnlich umzusteigen.Vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.

Hi zusammen,wie wickelt ihr Gruppen in MEWS ab wenn es um Korrespondenzen und den ganzen Schriftverkehr?Wir nutzen MEWS in Kombination mit Event Temple aber beides ist nicht optimal?Habt ihr einen Workaround?Vielen Dank! 

Hello, I would like to reduce or change the font size used in customer invoices.The product items are written in large, bold letters! This takes up a lot of space on the invoice. Please let me know how to change this...

If I want to block out dates for certain room types, I need to create a restriction for each space category separately which is time consuming plus confusing as at some point you might delete a restriction and as there are so many, mistakes could be madeI have 8 roomtypes, and only want to sell 1 category during certain dates. That means I need to create 7 restrictions. it would be easier if we could select from the list on which categories it applies. At the moment this is not possible, you can only select 1  category (it’s one or all categories)

Hallo, kann mir jemand sagen, wie ich für die Übertragung die Tagessalden ausstellen kann?Uns fehlt eine detaillierte Aufteilung pro Gast 

Wie kann man dieses Youlend Finanzierung aus dem Burger Menu bei den verschiedenen Benutzern und deren Rollen entfernen ? 

We gonna using the new mailing editor pretty soon, and with the merge-tags and conditions there are quite a few very powerful options to customize the mailings.We want to utilize the conditions and therefore my question is:Is there any kind of documentation about the available variables?With the prebuilt conditions i can see that there are different data objects like reservation or enterprise that contain multiple sub informations / properties accessed in the condition like enterprise.logo or reservation.nights. I haven’t found any information about these objects in the help articles so a way to check what variables can be used in there would be awesome.Maybe there is a console statement to log the information of these variables … something like this:console.log( mews.mailingeditor.variables)

Hi everyone,We’re currently exploring the implementation of self check-in at our hotel, but we’ve run into some challenges regarding group bookings.At the moment, when a guest who is part of a group tries to check in via self check-in, they can see all reservations under the same group. In addition, the first person who checks in is prompted to pay for the entire group reservation, which isn’t ideal for us.Since we often work with groups, this setup doesn’t fit well with our operations. We’d love to hear how other hotels handle this scenario: Do you have a specific process or workaround for group check-ins? Have you configured anything in Mews to separate or simplify individual check-ins within a group booking? Any best practices or lessons learned you could share? Thanks in advance for your insights! 

Hallo zusammen, ich habe gestern das Hauptbuchkonto komplett abgeglichen. Nun möchte ich quasi täglich das Hauptbuchkonto checken, aber jeweils neue Einträge. Ich finde hierzu jedoch keinen Weg, so dass ich eigentlich gezwungen bin, alle Einträge neu zu checken, Ein Ticket habe ich bereits beantragt, aber vielleicht gibt es ja auch hier Rückmeldungen zu diesem Problem. Herzlichen Dank, Detlef

Hi, is there a report or a way to get any statistics to see how many of our guest use mobile keys? Thank you.

Hi everyone,I’m currently renovating my property (30 rooms) and planning to modernize it with key card door access and the MEWS Kiosk for self check-in, so guests can generate their own keys on arrival.I’ve requested quotes from both ASSA ABLOY and SALTO — prices are very similar, with ASSA ABLOY being slightly more affordable.Before making a final decision, I’d love to hear from anyone who has already integrated one of these systems with MEWS and the Kiosk. Are there any key differences between them? Does one offer more features or a smoother integration? Any pros/cons from your own experience? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance,Javi

Hi everyoneWe’re running into a tracking and consent issue that I imagine others might have faced too — and I’d love to hear how you’ve solved it.First I’d like to add that the MEWS Booking Engine have been configured with the GTM-ID, and the GTM has been configured based on the documentation from MEWS. No issue here - everything works and it’s all good. The situation:Our main websites (www.steelhousecopenhagen.com and www.nexthousecopenhagen.com) uses Cookie Information as our CMP, and many visitors accept cookies there.However, when users move to the end of the MEWS Booking Engine flow, they are forwarded to the domain app.mews.com for payment and confirmation. Here they are prompted to accept cookies again, witch is very easy to over look and not do!Our guess is, that most visitors don’t accept cookies on app.mews.com, which means our purchase event for Google Analytics, Google Ads and Meta never fires — since consent isn’t granted on the MEWS domain. What we’ve found so far: Consen

Hey guys, Im back back with my anual question! At the moment, when someone checks in via the portal, their reservation does not automatically get started on the day of arrival.Our third-party communication software now allows us to use the deep link for the Mews guest portal, so I’d like to switch to using the Mews guest portal instead.I need the possibility to automatically start all reservations where guests have checked in online at their check-in time. Since everything is prepaid at our properties, this wouldn’t be an issue.Is there a solution for this? That would be great!Cheers,Hendrik

Could somebody please confirm if Mews is working on a solution to enable invoice sending via PEPPOL by the end of this year? Because on the search i could ot find anything about this. Best regards Robin
