Is there a way to restrict a rate in the Mews booking engine to mobile only? 

We want to offer Mobile path discounts on OTAs, but I cannot see a way to match this on the Mews Booking Engine.

Hi ​@crawforc 

To my knowledge, there is no native way to achieve this.

What you could try
- setup a dedicated mobile rate (non-public)
- link it to a promotion/voucher code
- work with your web agency, to recognize the end device accessing your website
- if a mobile device is recognized, pass the respective voucher code to the IBE.

Passing a voucher code to the IBE:

For Widget: distributor.setVoucherCode(SomeVoucherCode)
