Understanding Mews Payments in Mews Point of Sale

How Mews Payments works in Mews Point of Sale

Mews Payments is the single embedded payments platform behind both your property management system and Mews Point of Sale. When you add the Credit card payment type in the Payment Types section of Customer Settings, Mews Point of Sale connects that payment type to Mews Payments and your integrated terminal.

• Mews Payments processes the card payment through an integrated terminal, rather than an external device.

• Tipping and refunds work the same way for your staff, wherever you take the payment.

What you can do with an integrated card payment

• Accept in-person card payments through your connected terminal.

• Process refunds directly against a card payment.

• Apply dynamic currency conversion and accept multiple currencies at the point of sale.

• Configure tipping for card payments and room charges in the Payment Types section of Customer Settings.

• Use one device to take an order and accept payment in the same step.

Where your payment reporting stays consistent

Payment reporting stays consistent between Mews Operations and Mews Point of Sale. You review card payments, refunds, and tips taken in Point of Sale alongside the rest of your property's payment activity, rather than in a separate system.

 

With Mews Payments connected to Mews Point of Sale, your card payments, refunds, tipping, and currency handling all run through one platform. This means you can take payments at any outlet without reconciling a separate payment system against your property management system.
