Which features do all channel managers using Mews API support?
- ARI (availability, rate and inventory) updates from Mews to a Channel manager. This does not work the other way around, thus ARI cannot be updated from a Channel manager to Mews.
- Reservation delivery from a Channel manager to Mews.
- It is not possible to synchronize reservations from Mews to a Channel manager. For example, any change made to a channel manager reservation in Mews won't be synced back to the Channel manager.

How can I get more features for my Channel manager?
