Increase adoption of online check-in with link send through SMS

Hi guys,In order to increase adoption of the online check-in by the guests (we don’t actually have staff on-site, so they must, at some point) we are looking for a way to communicate the online check-in link through SMS messaging. Either through an integration, or through a self-build API interface, or any other way that’s possible.Anyone have an idea on how to do this?We’ve been looking for ways to automize the check-in process, and Mews recently did a wundeful update allowing the main booked to add details for companions. Now we need to increase guest adoption for this. And many don’t bother to read their emails.There’s a few messaging systems that integrate with Mews, and offer their own check-in solutions. But none seem to get it fully working for an Austrian property that needs to collect information on all guests and their companions.Anyone have any helpful ideas on this? Will be much appreciated!

Get Apple Pay / Google Pay to work

Is it true that Apple Pay and Google Pay doesn’t work, if you use Mews Payments in a NON-MEWS Booking engine?Could’t find this written anywhere so far, but cannot get it to work.

Payment provider for voucher payment

We are looking for a handy payment provider for a voucher booking feature.As far as I understand MEWS payments doesn’t allow the use of its payment function for other processes e.g. a voucher booking tool. So what is the best solution to this problem. Do you have any suggestions. Obviously a separate stripe/adyen account would be an option and would prob. add additional payment options, but maybe anyone has a recommendation we could have a look into. Thanks for any suggestions...

Le SEPA comme méthode de paiement

Bonjour à tous 👋Il y a quelque temps, notre équipe produit a commencé à chercher une méthode de paiement alternative qui fonctionnerait par virement bancaire. Finalement, nous avons fini par choisir le SEPA, via ce lien, lien vous pouvez trouver les conversations initiales autour de cette fonctionnalité de retour dans la communauté.Ce que vous ne saviez peut-être pas, c'est que cette fonctionnalité a maintenant été ajoutée 🎉.Dans l'image ci-dessous, vous pouvez voir les avantages du SEPA comme méthode de paiement et comment vous pouvez l'installer.Un mode de paiement alternatif pour tous les voyageurs qui ne possèdent pas de carte de crédit Comme il n'y a pas interchange, la transaction est moins chère que les cartes. Les réglementations SEPA et les réglementations relatives à la rétro facturation rendent la fraude plus difficile Simplicité : pas de conversion supplémentaire, toujours la même devise Bonne solution pour remplacer les virements bancaires, en particulier pour les groupe

Handling Hotelgutscheine

Hallo liebe Community,wir erstellen derzeit in Mews Gutscheine über ein angelegtes Produkt. Die (fortlaufenden) Gutscheinnummern vergeben wir manuell und tragen diese dann in eine von uns erstellte Excel-Datei ein. Gutscheine, die dann eingelöst werden, müssen beim Einlösen erst umständlich auf Gültigkeit etc. geprüft werden.Das ist alles andere als eine optimale Lösung.Welche Erfahrungen habt ihr gemacht und wie löst ihr das Problem?P.S.: Unsere Restaurants arbeiten mit Lightspeed, die ein tolles Gutscheinsystem haben. Leider können die Gutscheine dann nur über Lightspeed eingelöst werden und haben keine Integration zu Mews.

Space category configuration

A question on Space configuration.If the vast majority of your rooms are configured with a “normal bed count” of 2, how do you go about allowing a child or an infant to be booked and stay in parents bed.This is challenging when you operate with child rates, and want to have the applicable rate added. I have the following set-up for extra persons.Infant (0-2 years - Free of charge)Child (3 - 12 years - charge applies)Teen (13 - 17 years - charge applies)Adult (18 years and over - charge applies)If I increase the normal bed count, then 3 adults can book a space which can sleep 2. There is no possibility of adding an extra bed.All tips are appreciated.

Routing rules improvements - Call for feedback

Is your property using routing rules? These are (typically) used to move items from guest bills to company owned bills to settle business travels, big company events etc.And they are one of the things we are now working on to make them more efficient and useful.Our goal is to improve transparency of routing, minimise the need for manual routing when the reservation is updated or modified, and make routing easier to configure and maintain for properties with multiple services and large numbers of company profiles in the system. Are you familiar with routing rules? Are you setting them up, either regularly or occasionally?If the answer is yes, we need your help!Please click here to try and give feedback on routing rule configuration improvement. The test consists of a clickable prototype and 3 short questions. The whole thing should take around 5 minutes. Please help us to make the routing rules as easy to work with as possible! Thank you! ⭐

Housekeeping - Automatische Statusanpassung nach x Tagen

Hallo liebe Community,wie sind eure Erfahrungen mit der Einstellung, dass der HSK Status nach x Tagen von geprüft auf schmutzig springt? An sich ist das eine gute Sache wegen Staub, aber woran erkennt die Hausdame, ob es sich bei dem schmutzigen Zimmer um einen Statuswechsel oder ein wirklich zu Reinigendes Zimmer handelt? Das ist bei uns noch nicht so übersichtlich.An starken Abreisetagen mit wenig Anreisen werden bei uns manchmal Zimmer liegengelassen um den Personaleinsatz zu optimieren. Dann wäre ein schmutziges Zimmer nicht gleich an der Abreise zu erkennen.Eventuell hat ja noch jemand einen Trick17 :)Liebe GrüßeVanessa

Housekeeping software

Hi All,  We are looking for some good mobile first housekeeping software to implement with Mews. The Functionality in mews is to limiting for us and is not clear enough on the housekeepers side. One of the most important features is the realtime room/space status in mews, so once a room is marked as clean by a housekeeper it should instantly update the space status to clean or inspected in Mews. Also, housekeepers should see all booked products and note’s clearly, not hidden away somewhere and what would be even better if they would get a “task list” per room with everything that should be done extra like adding rose petals or a bottle of champagne. After some research I found Flexkeeper and it looks really appealing with all the features we would like to see. But I was wondering if there is anybody here who has experience with Flexkeeper or perhaps any other tool that works for them.

Invoice refund

Suddenly we woke up today to find something really weird with our Mews account. This is what happened: for every customer that we have whether they have checked out before and paid their bills or they are currently checked in and have already paid their reservation, in their profile page, and in their Billing section, all the billing Items names are changed to “Invoice refund” for no reason whatsoever with a negative amount.How is that change possible? Who can change the invoice names and stateWhy would Mews change the name of all these invoices?
