How to set up an early check in fee with Mews Kiosk 

You can add an early check in fee as a product within your bookable service to allow your guests to check in early for a fee and thereby maximize revenue during check in. This charges guests who want to check in via kiosk before the arrival time set by your property. Once you configure it, Mews Kiosk prompts guests when they enter their name or confirmation number. They can then decide to proceed with check in for a fee or decline and come back at the designated check in time. You need to connect a Mews Terminal to your kiosk to take payment for early check in fees. 

Note: 

• If you do not configure a check in grace period or an early check in fee, guests can check in early for no charge.
• If you configure a check in grace period but do not configure an early check in fee, guests cannot check in until after the grace period.
