Vouchers

Is there a way to create a voucher code that is usable once, not a promocode that reduces the price but let’s say you have a giveaway for a special occasion for two nights, bookable via a code on the homepage?

Urgent Feature Request – Breakfast Split on Invoice

Dear Amazing Mews Team,We’ve been using Mews for the past four years. Over time, we’ve seen your CEO delivering inspiring keynotes, speaking about how Mews saves both time and money. Unfortunately, our experience doesn’t always match these promises — and it feels like someone is not telling the full truth.Right now, I urgently need a development to respond to a guest request — or perhaps your CEO can personally explain to the guest why your PMS is not functioning properly or efficiently in this case.Here is the situation:We need to split the breakfast charges. One breakfast is covered by the guest’s company, and the second breakfast (for the accompanying person) is to be paid directly by the guest. The guest has requested a separate invoice showing this breakdown.How can I do this in Mews?You already allow this kind of separation in the “Kids” section — so why can’t we apply the same logic here? Who was supposed to develop this feature in the past four years?I urgently need a solution

Dietary/Allergies information

Is there MEWS report to export dietary information on guest profiles? Alternatively where can food allergies be recorded and easily exported via a MEWS report?

Expedia intergration

Good morning ☀️,I hope you're doing well!We're currently experiencing a recurring issue with Expedia Direct Connect and wanted to check if others are noticing the same: Specifically, we're seeing a discrepancy of €0.01 💶 between the booked rate and the amount charged via the Virtual Credit Card (VCC) 💳 provided by Expedia.This happens quite frequently and seems to be related to either rounding differences 🧮, tax or fee handling 💼, or possibly even currency conversion logic 🔄, even when the transactions are in EUR.Have you observed similar mismatches on your end? 🤔 If so, how are you handling or reconciling them in your system?Would really appreciate any insights or shared experiences 🙏

Urgent Payment Handling Issue – Request for Immediate Support

Dear Amazing Mews Team,We have been using Mews for the past four years and have always appreciated the ambition and innovation your company promotes. We regularly see your CEO highlighting how Mews saves time and money, and how it improves operational efficiency.Unfortunately, today we are facing a situation that contradicts those claims, and it is seriously impacting our guest experience.We urgently need a solution to a payment-related issue. A guest has requested a detailed breakdown of payments linked to his reservation. Specifically, for the stay from June 17th to 19th, we need to allocate and split the amount of CHF 905.05 by credit card, so it matches the invoice exactly. As you can see, several prepayments have already been made, but we cannot process them in the way the guest requires.This is a basic PMS function, and it’s very frustrating not to be able to fulfill such a standard request. Either your development team can urgently assist, or perhaps your CEO would like to perso

Wallet Keys

Hi,We just started using digital keys with our Salto locks. It is awesome… We do however anticipate the Wallet Keys to be the real game changer.When it becomes available we will be leaning into it hard and pushing the the tech to our guests through our website, SM, email etc. and hopefully it will be the preffered way of unlocking our doors. Would it be possible to get some more info about what the requirements will be to make use of Apple/Google Wallet keys, and when it becomes available? The next months, this year, next year, 2027? Is the beta program already started? We would love to be a pilot.Thank you!

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.

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?

Reward/Fidelity Program

Hello everyone Does anybody have an idea about a good Loyalty/Fidelity/Reward program an independant hotel could be attached to and therefore get an non negligeable advantage and an extra service to attract/retain their new/frequents guests ? Preferably in Europe, but open to the worldwide kind also of course 😉 Thanks in advance for your inputs and your help Stephane

Salto Integration

How do you setup the Salto integration? I’ve found this help article:https://help.mews.com/s/article/salto-for-mews-pms?language=de… but it seems to be outdated because there is a specific salto app in the mews marketplace referenced that doesn’t seem to exist.I guess the help article still shows how the setup is generally functioning but i would like some information about the pricing and details.

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?
