How to use Multicurrency by Mews Payments with Online Payments

Note: Multicurrency by Mews Payments is currently rolling out to all regions and may not be available in your region at this time.


Multicurrency by Mews Payments enables clear currency conversion when guests pay for rooms and services via Payment Requests, Booking Engine and Mews Terminals. Mews enables Multicurrency by default for eligible properties. With Multicurrency guests can view the cost of the room or service in their preferred currency. They can then pay for these rooms or services using their currency with transparent fees. In addition, your property claims a portion of the transaction fee as revenue which creates an additional revenue stream.
