Rate Structure

Hello everyone,It happened now a few times that I was in contact with hotels, that were not sure about how they would like to set up their rate structure, what rates to offer and how to define cancellation policies etc.Thus, I thought it would be nice to ask the community about what it is that is important for you, when developing a new rate structure?What are rates, where you think that they are a must-have?To me I often see the following rates:Flexible Rates (with free cancellation) Automatic payment only at the beginning of the stay Non-Refundable Rates (with no cancellation possible) Automatic payment at confirmation of the stay And sometimes special/cheaper rates that can only be booked if I stay for a specific amount of nights When I would create this rate structure, I personally would try to work as much as possible with derived rates.

Accounting categories

Hello Mews Community! 🤠 Using accounting categories, you can easily organize and track your property's products, revenue, and payments. Once you've set them up, your accounting team can make good use of these categories to keep tabs on your income and expenses 💻💳Remember, the accounting categories are different from your actual products. They simply help you link your products to specific categories for better organization 📁📂. So, let's say you have a shop on your property. You can link all the items to the 'shop 🛒' accounting category. When you check your accounting report and expand that category, voila! You'll see all the products linked to it, giving you a nice breakdown of your revenue. Oh, and don't worry, it'll even show the revenue divided by VAT rates.🤓 To create an accounting category you can follow this guide from the help center ❔If you are working with an accounting software, you will have to fill in the ledger account code. You have the option to have multiple acco
