Mews’ partnership with YouLend was incredibly valuable to our business. All in all, faster than other options, which meant we had more time to dedicate to our guests.




Hotel payment processing is more complex than it might seem. It is the entire process by which a payment is made and funds are received, which includes payment by the guest, the process of validating the payment, a transmission of the payment via a payment gateway, authorization, confirmation and settlement.
Embedded payments are native to Mews PMS, with no third parties involved. Integrated payments are bolted on, with more complexity and risk.
Embedded payments make payment processing a seamless part of your operations, creating a smooth automated experience for guests and staff with smart, relevant upsells at every guest touchpoint.
Automated upsells at booking and kiosk, Multicurrency, and frictionless payments can all help to boost revenue.
Chargebacks are a part of business, but they can also be time consuming to manage, time you don’t have. If a chargeback happens, we’ll be there to help support you.
When evaluating hotel payment software, hospitality businesses should look for features that simplify operations, improve guest experiences, drive revenue and support long-term growth. Key features to prioritize include:
The best hotel payment software should not only process transactions, but also help hotels operate more efficiently, improve profitability and create smoother guest journeys.
The terms get used interchangeably, but there's a meaningful distinction:
Embedded payments typically reduce manual work, eliminate reconciliation errors and simplify support – you call one vendor when something breaks, not two.
Mews Payments is embedded, meaning payments and PMS data live in the same operating system.
Payment software helps hotels accept and manage guest payments, while payments infrastructure is the technology that powers payment processing behind the scenes, including security, authorization and settlement.
Embedded payments take this a step further by embedding payment functionality directly into the operating system. This allows payments to flow seamlessly through reservations, check-in, POS and checkout workflows without requiring separate systems.
