New Merchant Control Center! 

Important Notices and all Merchant Functions on one page!

And here is a photo of the same machine with a phony reader:

In addition to the phony reader, there is a tiny pinhole video camera (about $99 on the web) that transmits a video of you pressing your PIN number to a nearby receiver!  As far as we know, All ATM Machines have flush-mounted or recessed card slots (to prevent vandalism), and once forewarned, it should be easy to recognize a valid card reader.

PIN Tips: Never give your PIN number or password to anyone else or let them use your card - even a close relative.  Check your statements very carefully as soon as they arrive and notify your card provider immediately of anything suspicious.  Always destroy any paperwork with any personal details on before you throw it away. We strongly recommend using a paper shredder. Do not write your PIN number down anywhere close to you card. For instance if you lose your handbag a crook will always look for your PIN number in your diary.

This week we will address a common question: Where do I go to do _______? The blank being anything from making a sale, performing a void, checking on a mobile unit, changing a checking account, purchasing supplies, etc.

To do this, we have created our Merchant Control Center, which you can access in two ways: First, you can just go to:
  www.EnterTransactions.com
which is certainly easy to remember!  It gives you a link to Transaction Central, gives us a spot to alert you to critical hardware and software updates, and contains links to merchant forms, newsletters, and our product store for supplies!

Our Toolbar will also take you directly to the Merchant Control center, as well as provide many other powerful web searching and information features.  To see all of the powerful features of our toolbar, or to download your own free copy, click here.  

Use our Toolbar to Enter Sales, Void a Sale, Issue Credits, Get Reports and more!  You also get access to our Free Software Upgrades,  Weekly Newsletter Library,  New Products,  Bargain Basement, and to Order Supplies!

          CRITICAL UPDATE         

OSCommerce users will need to IMMEDIATELY update their payment module, due to security changes at the gateway.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we have included the new payment module here for our users:

We have a lot of merchants who do art shows and fairs, and one of our merchants recommended this site to us.  After going to the site myself, I was astounded at the depth and detail they have on each show.   If you go to these shows, this site and their book / online service is a MUST. Take a look!

Finally.. The Automotive / Desktop mounting brackets for the Pocket Merchant have arrived! This adjustable mount is perfect for the Pocket Merchant.  While it has holes to screw down into the vehicle interior or desk, we include Industrial Velcro so the unit can be removed for field use, or repositioned to another location.  The unit can be adjusted in all three axis, then tightened down with the large retaining nut (gray in the picture).  Click here to order.
