Request for Step-by-Step Process to Cancel and Refund a Reservation in Compliance with Italian Regulations

 Dear MEWS Support,I hope this message finds you well.We would like to ask for your guidance regarding the correct procedure to cancel a reservation and process a refund within MEWS Dashboard, particularly in line with Italian accounting requirements.Here's our current situation:After collecting a deposit, if we cancel a reservation and issue a refund, it appears as a positive charge, and the original deposit shows as a negative.However, in Italy, we are required to repeat or close the operation properly in order to ensure everything is accurately reflected for fiscal purposes.Could you please provide us with the step-by-step process for:1. Cancelling a reservation that has a deposit.2. Refunding the amount to the guest.3. Ensuring that all charges and refunds are recorded properly and compliant with Italian standards.Thank you in advance for your support. We appreciate your help in ensuring we handle these transactions correctly.Best regards,Simranpreet Kaur

KIOSK: Balance Check only at CheckOut?

Hello!Is there a way to setup the Kiosk so that the “Balance Check” option is only enforced during CheckOut?At CheckIn we don’t want to force guests to provide a credit card or payment, but upon CheckOut it should be enforced… As I understood the help article if I enable “Balance Check” Option it will enforce payments at CheckIn, but that’s not what we want as we want to keep the self CheckIn - especially in the night - as smooth as possible.Kind regards,Jean-Philipp

Booking.com blocking emails - Before start Online check-in

Is anyone else facing problems with sending before start/before start reminders to booking.com guest?We are pushing very hard to get our guest so check-in online, however I see that booking.com is not accually forwarding these emails to the guest. In MEWS it shows as sendt.  I have tried to make a booking myself at booking.com and it is not working. I tried to remove the Sigin box, in the email templets, with just a link however it is still not working. Funny thing is that when I send the bill it has acually worked.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

Expedia Integration

Just curious 🤔 — what happens if we don’t allow the Expedia 🌍 integration to create a travel agent profile 🧾?Is it then automatically assigned to the main Expedia profile 🏨🔗?

Booking.com integration Outages

I have the feeling there are many outages with the booking.com integration lately, but we only “know” it as soon as a guest calls to let us know they still have not received their key codes. Is there a way to get a warning if the integration has a failure so we can manually pull the reservations before we get a notification from the guests? To avoid overbookings it would be super important to realize an outage ASAP

Schedule a payment

Hi all,We have setup our automated payment policies to charge guest cards, if a card declines we must mark the card invalid on the OTA and then 24hours later we can try the charge again and cancel the reservation. We would love to be able to manually schedule a 2nd payment attempt instead of manually trying the card again. If the card is then charged no further action is needed and we have eliminated the need to make additional manual checks.Anyone found a way to do this?

Secured Link for Credit Card Details

Can I send a customer a link via Mews that he can provide his credit card details in a secured way?Such as at online check in, but it does not make any sense to send a customer a request for online check in if his stay will only be in some months… Most guests don’t want to provide their credit card details by phone, mail or so and we don’t want to implement another system because Mews seems to be able to provide such a link. It would just be great to have it already before. I also tried to figure out a way that the guest is asked when confirming an offer with the {signIn} - but I didn’t manage.

Debitor vs. Zahlung

Hallo zusammen, wir stellen oft Rechnungen als Debitor aus, diese werden seit der Umstellung auf MEWS teils über den BEzahlbutton auf der Rechnung beglichen. Nun ist die Frage ob MEWS im HIntergrund den Debitor storniert und dies auf die entsprechende Zahlungsart umbucht oder ist hier eine manuelle Buchung notwendig. Sonst haben wir 2 Zahlungen aber nur eine Leistung.Danke für euren Input.

How do you "rooms for single usage"?

The rate management in Mews is a bit shallow. Especially the pricing options for special occupancy (children or single person in double room) is really lacking some serious adjustability.We use rates for single usage rooms and had to compromise the way we handle children by quite a bit. The problem with rates is that the restrictions are (also) not powerful enough to handle that so in third parties these rates are just available  so its possible to book a single person rate even though there are multiple guests in the reservation.My question is: How do you manage these cases? Is there anything planned to revamp this lacking features?

falsche Zimmerkategorie auf Bestätigung

Edit: die erste, direkt aus dem Buchungsvorgang geschickte Bestätigung ist mit der angefragten Kategorie. Schickt man aber später eine weitere Bestätigung (warum auch immer), steht die höhere kategorie in der neuen Bestätigung. Sie reply weiter unten.Moin.Gäste buchen telefonisch/email eine bestimmte Kategorie.Ich buche sie unter der gewünschten Kategorie ein, da die Kategorie aber wissentlich ausgebucht ist, schiebe ich sie in die nächst höhere Kategorie.Der Gast bekommt aber in der Bestätigung die höhere Kategorie bestätigt und beruft sich später darauf.Meine Idee war ja, den Gast erstmal sicher zu haben (z.B. Stammgäste, die immer nur in Economykategorie buchen, eigene Rate haben odgl.)Wenn jetzt zwischenzeitlich wieder in der Economy Stornos reinkommen, schiebe ich sie wieder runter um die bessere Kategorie frei zu haben für Gäste die mehr zahlen, bzw. der Gast hatte reines EZ gebucht und ich schiebe ihn erst in DZalsEZ und später fehlt mir das DZ, weil der Gast nun auf sein  in de

Issue with Credit Card Pre-Authorization Process

Subject: Issue with Credit Card Pre-Authorization ProcessHello everyone,At Hotel St Pol, we require a credit card number from all our guests to guarantee their booking. For direct bookings, we ask for the credit card number, and during online check-in, the guest must confirm their credit card. When booking online, the guest enters their credit card number and must immediately verify it.Until about 10 days ago, we had to ask approximately 15% of our guests to verify their credit card because they hadn't done so yet. However, in recent days, we've encountered issues with about 70% of our reservations when attempting to perform pre-authorizations. We are curious if there have been any changes to the software or with Stripe that could be causing this.For some of our regular guests, who have a valid credit card on file, we suddenly receive a "Pending" status, or we find it impossible to perform a pre-authorization, receiving messages that immediate payment is required, which then gets decli
