Flexible payments across the guest journey

Challenge

Go Hotel Group wanted a payments solution that would give guests the flexibility to use a variety of payment options while ensuring the highest levels of security.

Solution

Mews Payments empowers guests to make secure, flexible payments at multiple stages across their journey. Automation means that the Go Hotel Group team can spend more time engaging with guests rather than asking for card details, and the hotels are also able to accept alternative payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, increasing the chances of a successful booking and immediate payment.

Result

• 100% automated payments with Mews Payments
• 0.04% of all transactions are chargebacks (0.5% is the industry average)
• 88% success rate for payment requests

Integration spotlight

The number of integrations varies per property, with some hotels connected to up to 17 integrations via Mews Marketplace.

Oaky

Oaky is an upselling platform that helps to generate additional revenue through upselling and cross-selling at multiple points throughout the guest journey. This integration means that whenever a guest purchases a room upgrade or other services, they’re pushed into Mews automatically. Hyper-personalization across multi-channel guest comms leads to a typical ROI of 13x.

Booking.com

This integration allows Go Hotel Group to receive Booking.com reservations and manage inventory directly in Mews. The connection automatically reports invalid payment cards and allows them to manage rates and restrictions easily. As a bonus, when you onboard a new property, all future Booking.com reservations will be downloaded automatically.

Looking ahead

The team at Go Hotel Group are hoping to automate even more of the guest journey in the coming months while connecting more in-house tools to create an equally seamless experience for their staff. They’re also ambitious when it comes to improving their occupancy; although they already have over 70% occupancy in the first three months of 2022, the team are confident they can raise this number even higher.
