An effect could be that free freight would no longer be free after recalculation. If the mentioned parameter was deactivated (False) only Voyado coupons and bonus checks with subtotal discounts would work.

Integration with BaxiAgent pay terminal solution

(RTP-27856)

EG POS has added support for "BaxiAgent" pay terminal solution from Nets. The solution uses existing DLL as Baxi.Net solution also uses. In addition a separate BaxiAgent program needs to be installed and run locally, preferably as a service. Typical pay terminal types used are Lane/5000 and Lane/3000, but these will have different software that similar types used for Baxi.Net. Terminals may be connected via ethernet cable.

NB! For now there is a bug in BaxiAgent making it impossible to configure terminal via the existing 'BaxiConfig' parameter, hence manual editing 'Baxi.ini' file must be done.

Integration of Signotec signature pad in Self-service

(RTP-26667)

Signotec Sigma LCD Signature pad can be used in Self-service to get a customer signature if the bank terminal is offline or if the payment card require a signature. POS will display a message to the customer saying "Signature required - One of our staff is coming to assist you" and a the same time a surveillance message will be displayed to staff alerting them to help the customer with the signature. A staff member will have to scan their cashier card in self-service POS to enable the signature pad. Customer will then sign and staff member can confirm the signature on screen. In the event that the signature is rejected the customer must sign again. 

If the customer should leave without signing, the bank transaction is completed but without the signature it is not valid. POS will be waiting with the "Signature required...." message on screen. If a staff member encounter this situation it is possible to press the (POS) screen and scan a cashier card while in the empty signature view to end the transaction. The customers receipt and a signature receipt will be printed. POS is then available for new customer.

Other requirements:

The Signotec Sigma signature pad needs Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2010 and 2015 installed. If the cash register does not run SQL server 2018 or newer the mentioned redistributable packages must be installed manually.

Redeeming Voyado coupons when paying Dispatch orders in POS (RTP-27472)

When placing a web order/dispatch order in POS it's possible to use Voyado coupons when paying for the order. Previously coupons could not be redeemed as part of the payment process.

POS Configuration:

[Caution]

To be able to use Voyado coupons with item specific discounts, the parameter 'IncludeCustomerOrderInPriceCalculation' must be enabled (True). We do NOT recommend enabling this parameter because it will cause a price recalculation of the customer order when payment is initiated! This will cause freight to be recalculated, and free freight might be set to full price. Other discounts will also be recalculated, and the order total might be unintentionally altered as a result.

Redeeming Voyado coupons when paying Reserve & Collect orders in POS (RTP-28760)

When paying a Reserve & Collect order in POS it's possible to use Voyado coupons as part of payment. Previously coupons could not be redeemed as part of the payment process for any customer orders.

To be able to use Voyado coupons with item specific discounts, the parameter 'IncludeCustomerOrderInPriceCalculation' must be enabled (True). We do NOT recommend enabling this parameter because it will cause a price recalculation of the customer order when payment is initiated! This will cause freight to be recalculated, and free freight might be set to full price. Other discounts will also be recalculated, and the order total might be unintentionally altered as a result.
