SEPA Direct Debit is a cashless direct debit payment system available in 37 countries in Europe and several non-EU countries. When you integrate it with Mews, guests can pay for one-off single payments using SEPA Direct Debit in the Mews Booking Engine, online check-out, and payment requests sent by your property. This is useful for guests who do not have a credit card. You can set up SEPA Direct Debit for your property at any time by configuring the Mews Alternative Payment Methods integration from the Mews Marketplace.

Note:

  • SEPA Direct Debit in Mews requires Stripe integration. Follow the instructions in this article to check which payment gateway your property uses. If you do not use Stripe and want to activate it, contact your Mews account manager or customer success manager for assistance.
