Support Tip of the Week: Avoid Payment Failures by Setting Up Paymaster AccountsTutorial

Hi Community,We've received numerous cases about a recurring issue, so we wanted to clarify this process to help properties avoid future payment failures.Many customers are using the same profile to post all Food & Beverage charges, but they're not setting it up as a Paymaster account. When too many credit card transactions are posted to this single profile, payments begin to fail. This often causes properties to panic as they experience disruptions in payment processing.To prevent this issue, here are a few important steps to follow:Create a Paymaster Profile: Instead of using a regular guest or transaction profile, create a dedicated Paymaster account specifically for handling F&B or other group charges. Add paymaster account classification (the most important step to ensure correct payment processing) Open the Paymaster account profile. Go to the Internals tab. In the Classification field, select the Paymaster account. Click Save. Centralize Transactions Appropriately: O

Support Tip of the Week: Understanding How the Mews API WorksTutorial

Dear Community,We often receive inquiries about data integration issues, specifically when customers believe that Mews is not sending data to certain integrations. To clarify and empower you with better understanding, let's delve into how the Mews API operates.The Misconception: Mews Sending DataOne of the most common misconceptions is that Mews proactively sends data to integrations. However, this is not how the Mews API functions. Mews holds the data, but it is up to the integration to request it. If data is not being received by an integration, it usually means one of the following:The Integration is Not Requesting the Data: If an integration claims they are not receiving data from Mews, it's possible they haven't requested it. Mews does not automatically push data to integrations; instead, integrations must actively make requests for the data they need. Request Errors: Sometimes, an integration might request data but encounter errors in the process. These errors can occur for vario

Learn & Share #02: The power of upsells in the new Guest PortalNews

Hi there!  I’m Olivia from the Mews Product team. Welcome back to our Learn & Share series, where we dive into the development and features of our new Guest Portal. If you missed our first post, don’t worry—you can catch up on all the details here. Today we’re exploring a powerful functionality in our Guest Portal: upselling products while a guest completes their online check-in. This is a great opportunity for guests to enhance their experience. Now that their trip is approaching and booking it may be a distant memory, guests will be more inclined to add one or two extras to make their stay even better. And it is also a great way for you to showcase what your property offers and to get some ancillary revenues in. Our designers have revamped the user experience to improve usability, showcase your offer in the best way and boost conversion. Here’s a sneak peek of the before and after:  On average, we see that 10% of guests who are offered an upsell, convert and add at least one item

UserVoice upgrades: Leaving your feedback has never been simplerNews

Many of the updates we make to the Mews platform are inspired by users like you. As we grow, it's important that your voice continues to shape our platform. That's why we've simplified our UserVoice forum and how we handle your suggestions. It's now even easier to share your feedback and help us build a better Mews for everyone. What’s changing?  Fewer categories: We've simplified things to make it less confusing to find the right place for your suggestions.  Don't worry, no ideas will be deleted. We're just moving them to new, streamlined categories.  Simpler statuses: New ideas will automatically become available for others to vote on (and will have the "Idea to Upvote" status). We'll change the status to "Released" when they're live in Mews.  This means you'll always know exactly where your ideas stand. We’re removing the other statuses, so all ideas (about 4,000) will be updated to either “Idea to Upvote” or “Released.” We'll also keep you updated on the progress of ideas you're f

Mandatory two-factor authentication is coming to Mews – here's why it matters

Let's face it: passwords, while important, aren't enough to keep your online accounts completely secure these days. That’s why we're introducing mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA) for all Mews users. This is a big step towards making your accounts – and the data you trust us with – better protected. We know security is a top priority for everyone, so we want to explain why we're making this change and how it benefits you. For more detailed information, we've created a custom page about 2FA where we gather everything you need to know—have a look there. Why 2FA? Think of 2FA as an extra layer of protection beyond your password. It means that even if someone gets hold of your password (through phishing or other means), they won't be able to access your Mews account without a second piece of information – in this case, a code on your phone from an authenticator app. This helps to:  Prevent unauthorized access: 2FA makes it much harder for hackers to get into your account.  Protect
