Social security number as option when paying with credit

(RTM-7401) (RTM-7400)

When paying with credit, some retailers require social security number (SSN) and reference text/reference number to be added.
These three fields (SSN, reference text, reference number) are configurable if they are mandatory and/or visible in credit payment.

The default value is that SSN is not shown and Reference text + Reference number is shown and mandatory.
If none of the fields are mandatory, but shown, the purchase will go trough without any validation. In the SSN member field there is a check for SSN validation.

The parameter is called "RequireForCreditSale".

New UI of changing quantity of an item

(RTM-7768)

Changing quantity quick on last scanned item is possible by using the new amount box and surrounding keys.
On the far right of the row for the last scanned item a icon with the amount items is presented. Secondary keys next to this is a "+" that increases the quantity. The other secondary key is a dustbin icon or a "-", depending if the quantity is one or more.

If a item that has another measurement then pieces is added, for example kilos, a icon with the amount is shown without the secondary keys.
Pressing the amount icon, that also is a button, opens bottom sheet and user can update the quantity. The amount icon is always a button and moves user to bottom sheet for increasing or decreasing last scanned item, no matter what kind of item is added.

The quick quantity change function is available in all sales views (image view, expanded or compressed).

Show discount icon and price in compressed sale view

(RTM-7608)

Compressed sales view shows discount icon, discounted price and original price in sales view.

The icon indicates what type of discount has been given, the original price is presented below the new price with a slightly smaller text size and is crossed out

New login UI

(RTM-6706)

The design of login flow is done to remember users, for quicker login in some cases.

Following flow is possible:

1. User logs in for the first time

2. Mobile POS remembers the username

3. User logs out

4. User opens app and wants to log in

5. Displayed is the name of the AD user on login page

6. User can click the username and is then automatically redirected to the "password" page for the AD login

Mobile POS can remember up six users, that will be listed in a line with username on. This is only implemented for login with email, not cashier.

Although if a cashier has logged in, the email of the cashier is presented to login, but not the cashier number (Removed in next release).

Add configuration for what fields to show when creating member

(RTM-6136)

Parameter MemberRegistrationFields in Mobile POS Management is used to edit what fields are shown when creating a new member in Mobile POS. User can change what member fields should be visible and mandatory when creating member. When pressing the edit button user can edit the fields, see image below.

If the box to the left is checked, field will be shown in Mobile POS. If box to the right is checked it will be a mandatory field when creating a new member in Mobile POS. What member identifier which is mandatory is not decided by this configuration, this is decided by the member master. Therefore, these fields cannot be configured as mandatory or not.

Order of fields can also be changed by dragging them up and down. By pressing the top "field" box without any defined fields, only the chosen fields will be presented in the view.

Following fields are selectable to configure. To implement the changes Mobile POS app needs to be closed and then reopened.

• SSN (can only be hidden, up to memberservice if it is mandatory, if it is hidden, but mandatory by Memberservice it should be shown)

• First name

• Last name

• Email (can only be hidden, up to memberservice if it is mandatory, if it is hidden, but mandatory by Memberservice it should be shown)

• Mobilenumber (can only be hidden, up to memberservice if it is mandatory, if it is hidden, but mandatory by Memberservice it should be shown)

• Address

• Zip code

• Birthday

• Homestore

• Card number

• Member terms & segmentation terms

• Subscriptions: Email, SMS and digital receipt on email

Below is an example of how create member function looks like when only Mobile number is the shown field. Since there is no name of the customer, the member number is presented in sales view instead. Configuration of fields for member does not include handling of "Update member" fields.

Automatic login to Softpay

It is possible to configure Mobile POS to automatically log in to the Softpay app in the background upon logging in. This feature is implemented to avoid having store personnel logging in to the wrong store in Softpay and to enable a smoother rollout of the solution,

To enable automatic login it requires an extensive setup, where every store in Store Management has to be mapped to the Softpay Unique store ID (TOF number in most cases). To set this up, EG needs to receive an excel file/csv from the customer that consists of 2 columns: EG store ID, Softpay store ID. For the timebeing this must be scripted into the database. A UI will be created for configuring this in a later version. In addition to this, EG needs to receive the log in credentials to the Softpay app. We support maximum 2 different credentials. Our recommended approach is to have 1 set of login credentials to Softpay where all stores are included.

Functionality:

An encryption key is created in Tenant admin which is used to encrypt the credentials for logging in to the Softpay app, to uphold security in the solution.

If configured, upon logging in and selecting a store in Mobile POS, the app will:

• Ask Softpay whether or not the device is already logged in to a store number that matches the store chosen in Mobile POS. If it does not match: Mobile POS will change the store in the Softpay app to the correct store

This means that we can always ensure that the user is logged in to the correct Softpay store before completing a transaction. This process can take up to 10 seconds and the user will not be able to perform a payment with Softpay until it is ready. Currently, there is notification to the user when the login is successful. This will be added in future version. However, the user can use Mobile POS for all other purposes during this time. When the user has been logged in to Softpay once, the device will remain logged in forever, unless Softpay is uninstalled from the device. Once logged in to Softpay, Mobile POS will always verify that the correct store is chosen upon login and change the store if it is wrong.

Support for scanning with Point Mobile Devices

Using the built-in scanner in Point Mobile devices is supported.
