Mews - How to set up Payment for Stay

Alon
Updated
For any service that is created in Duve that you would like to send back information to Mews, here is what must be added from Mews so that it will correctly sync back.
 
Each Payment for Stay & Upsell in Duve requires a service (do not create a Product within a service). To sync upsells back to Mews as a Product, Sync Upsells back to Mews as a Product.

 

How to Set It Up?

2 items to set up:
  1. Billing Identifier
  2. Payment Methods in the Mews account
To set up the Billing Identifier
In Mews, go to Settings:
 
 
Go to Menu>Services.
 
Create an Additonal Service, not a Bookable Service.

Add the Name of the Additional Service and save.
 
Copy URL of the page after Detail/“….“. The Highlighted section in Step 2 is the Billing Identifier.
 
Go to Guest Billing > Advanced options and add in the field Billing Identifier.

Duve performs a live folio sync in the following scenarios:

1. When the guest lands on the “stay payment” page during Online Check-in.

2. When the host clicks on “sync payments”.

3. When the host sends a message with a placeholder of the {{totalPrice}} or {{rentPrice}}.

    Would Duve be able to perform a live folio sync with Mews more often than the above scenarios? The time between a guest doing online check in to actually checking in could be a long time. In order to reduce manual work for staff, and to automate key being released without a balance owing, we need the mews folio to be synced more often than the 3 scenario's above!
