Receipt Printing
This sets the number of receipts to print automatically at the end of a transaction.
In order for a receipt to print automatically, there must be a default printer selected and it must be available.Signature
Save Card
Note: Merchants must obtain consent from the cardholder before saving a card.
Save card enables a merchant to save a card to be charged at a later date on the SwipeSimple Dashboard.
The app can never prompt to save a card during a transaction or it can always prompt during a transaction. If set to always prompt, the cardholder will still have the option to skip saving a card.
Sales Tax
Enable Sales Tax to collect a defined tax percentage on your transactions.
Individual items can be set to be taxable or not within the Item Catalog.
If enabled, Sales Tax will be automatically added to a Sale for any taxable and Quick Items. If disabled, Sales Tax will not be added to any item.
If multiple tax rates are added, merchants will be prompted to select one as part of each new transaction.
Tip
Enable Tip to prompt the cardholder with a Tip screen prior to processing the payment.Â
If enabled, the app will prompt for a Tip with the following options:
- Credit transactions - 3 default amounts, Custom, None
- Cash transactions - Keep the Change, 1st and 2nd default amounts, Custom, None
If disabled, the app will not prompt for a Tip, and proceed to process the transaction.
Offline Mode
Offline Mode enables capturing swiped or keyed payments without an internet connection.
Offline Mode is not compatible with dip (EMV) or tap (NFC) transactions.
Set a maximum amount for offline transactions when Offline Mode is enabled. Offline transactions should be used at the merchant’s discretion, as they are not approved or declined until network connectivity is re-established.
Transactions captured offline are saved until connectivity is regained and will automatically process when the mobile device goes back online and the app is opened. Only a maximum of 50 transactions can be saved.
Offline transactions stored on the device will expire after 30 days unless they are processed.
