New Credit Card Hardware Option...

...

     This is another special "Pre-PGA Show" announcement to ALL CPS clients and is the 3rd of 4 newsletters that you will receive. The 4th newsletter will be distributed next Monday. After the PGA Show, we will return to our newsletter subscriber distribution list.

     POS Express v3.0 has been Validated for PA-DSS by the PCI Security Standards Council.

     As part of our new PA-DSS Validated Credit Card platform we are introducing a new hardware option for Credit and Debit Cards.

The Device is a VeriFone MX-870. It includes the following features:

1. Magnetic Stripe Reader.
2. Electronic Signature Capture.
3. Electronic Pin Pad.
4. Multimedia Advertising.
5. The ability to split sales between two Merchant Ids!

     One of the big features here is the ability to split one sale between multiple Merchant IDs. So, if the pro owns the shop and the club owns the Green Fees and Carts, you can now set up the system with multiple Merchant IDs -- one for the Pro Shop and one for the Clubhouse. Set your Sale Categories for golf supplies to use the Pro Shop Merchant ID and set the Green Fees and Carts to the Clubhouse Merchant ID. When a sale is rung up with both Pro Shop and Clubhouse items, this device will electronically capture the customer's signature once and apply it to each of the respective Credit Card Transactions/Receipts that will print on your receipt printer - electronically signed. The money for the various Merchant IDs will be deposited into their respective bank accounts - no more co-mingling of funds!

     This is a consumer-facing product, meaning the cardholder never lets go of their card and the cashier does not handle the customer's sensitive data.

     The unit also lets you add your own branding and advertising. Advertise promotions on the screen that the customers can see from the counter.

     The integrated Card Swipe and Pin Pad eliminate the need for multiple devices hanging off of your POS Station and handing Pin Pads across the counter.

     Stop by and see us and this device in action at the PGA Merchandise Show -- we'll be in Booth 2373!

Until Next time,

Enjoy :)
