Is Wholestay in the Mews Marketplace?
Yes. Find Wholestay in the Mews Marketplace: you connect it from the Mews side in a few clicks, and then we get access.
Do I need Mews?
Yes. Wholestay runs on top of Mews: rooms, rates and availability come from Mews, and every booking is written back to it. If you use another PMS, tell us. We pick the next systems based on demand, but we don't promise a timeline.
