Automatic settlement failed email when manual reservation

Dear Community,When we enter a new reservation manually (taken through email/phone), we are faced with an automatic settlement failed email being sent every time we book a reservation in non-refundable, instantly, right after confirming the booking, even after taking cc details.Is the reservation sequence we are doing wrong, or are we not the only ones struggling with these automatic emails?

What channel manager do you use to connect your rooms to AirBnB?

Hi,We are looking in to the options of adding our rooms and apartments on AirBnB. As there is no direct MEWS marketplace plugin (like the MEWS Booking.com marketplace plugin) we will have to use a channel manager. MEWS explains how to use a channel manager and which ones work with AirBnB, but that’s about it. No advice or feature list.So, I am looking at the channel managers (with Mews marketplace plugins) that should be able to do the job:Not Promoted by AirBnB, but these say they have AIrBnB support (so I’m not sure what the limitations are)Siteminder CubilisPromoted by AirBnB (and has MEWS marketplace plugin)Roomcloud Rentals United Yieldplanet STAAHI would like the following to work:Real time update of availability Tariffs and restrictions centrally managed in MEWS and pushed via channel manager to AirBnB Ability to chat with AirBnB guests via MEWS chat (like Booking.com Marketplace plugin does) So, I would really appreciate any feedback on these channel managers. What you like. W

Can I have Multiple Reservations on one invoice?

A travel agency has 3 reservations on the books.They paid for all 3 with a single wire transfer. I would like to issue a single invoice with the 3 Reservations, such that I can record the single payment. I do not want to split the payment into 3 parts.We preach the Golden Rule → What Happens in real life is recorded in the system Is this possible? Or do I have to move the 3 rooms under a single bill? Thank you ;)Ethan Client will be sending a SINGLE wire for the full amount of all three reservations.

Automatic Settlement - only charge certain products

Hi Mewsers, I was wondering if someone could help me with the automatic settlement rules.As per policy we want to charge reservations a couple of days in advance. This has been set as an automatic settlement rule for the different rate groups. We offer both RO and BB rates. If a guest books a BB rate, the breakfast product is added to the booking (packaged). In the rate group we’ve selected to charge both nights and products in order to charge the package as a whole instead of only the nights. However, with the products enabled, all items are now charged (ie. parking, museum tickets...), which we of course do not want. How are you all coping with this?

VAT number on invoice.

Dear Mews friends,I am having a problem with the listing of our VAT number on the invoices. The data of the customer is clearly listed including his VAT number, but our VAT number is not listed on the invoice. This data is entered correctly in settings, property, and general settings. Our own data are mentioned twice on the invoice.Below the example.

Feedback formulier versturen naar gasten

Hi,Wij zouden graag via Mews een feedback formulier naar de gasten willen sturen nadat zij bij ons hebben verbleven. Hoe doen jullie dit en wat voor formulier gebruiken jullie hiervoor?Ik begrijp dat we de mail templates hiervoor kunnen gebruiken, maar ik weet niet zo goed wat voor formulier wij hiervoor het beste kunnen gebruiken? Ik weet dat Mews hun eigen survey heeft, kunnen wij hier ook gebruik van maken en aanpassen naar onze eigen wensen?

No warning of overbooking through reservation prolongation via properties

Hi everybody,we recently stumbled across the challenge that it is possible (independent of the role and rights) to overbook a property if you follow following steps:Case:Guest wants to prolong his stay for another night and the reservation team did not check the availability for the next day (the hotel is fully booked on the next day) Reservation is opened with click on manage under properties tab the departure date is prolonged for one night no warning appears that there is no availability, it only shows that the change was successfull the timeline, however, now shows that we are overbookedI do have two big problems with that:Everybody, no matter the role and rights can overbook the hotel via this way there is no warning whatsoever, that the hotel will be overbooked when prolonging this guest’s stayDoes anybody know a way how to avoid this? Please do not say, check availability first ;). Thank you and kind regardsTobias

Add a restriction to require minimum 2 night bookings if arrival date is more than 30 days away?

Hi Mews Community. Does anyone know how I can create restrictions in MEWS to accomplish the following:If the date of arrival is more than 30 days away, a booking needs to have a minimum of 2 nights. (New one night bookings are only to be allowed if arrival date is closer than 30 days from now.) (Will apply to an Exact Rate)I have tried a few things in Services > Stay > Restrictions but cannot seem to get it to work.

New bookable Service

Hello there,Some of our rooms are used as meeting rooms quite often during the week. I understood that in that case it’d be better to create a new bookable service in order to registrate these time slots. However it is not really clear to me how I’ve to set this up.Someone has some experience with this ?

Keeping track of Extra beds and baby cots

Hi all,How do you manage the tracking of your rollaway beds / baby cots at your location?We would like to find a way to associate the product with a reservation. To be noted, we only have a few of those on site and don’t always charge for their placement. Furthermore, the product report does not show which reservations have the product charged anyways.How do you keep track with how many beds are already confirmed or placed into the rooms with Mews? At this time we are using an excel sheet. Creating the bookable service seem to confusing and not mistake-proof..Thanks for your tips on that!
