  Our "Standard" cash receipt will even make change for you (hence the name), preventing errors, and just generally making life easier for our merchants.

  Auto TAX calculations! We now have an option to automatically calculate and add tax to your cash sales! 

NEWS FLASH! Within the month of October, Transaction Central will be requiring periodic password changes.  We are working with PRI to make this a painless and simple procedure for our Internet and Mobile Merchants.  Stay tuned for details, we will be devoting an entire issue to this!

  FREE Stuff! Everybody loves free stuff, and you can get all sorts of Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover merchant materials just by asking!  Actually, you need to go to the proper places on their websites and tell them what you want! The links to these sites are at the bottom of this newsletter, and you can get decals, tip trays, calendars, signs, mouse pads and more!  You 'pay' for it simply by identifying yourself as a merchant with your merchant number.   Look on your statements for this number. 

  Suggestion Box: Got an idea? Can you think of an improvement on any of our products?  Is there anything you think we do that could stand improvement?  Let us know!  Send your suggestions to: info@merchantanywhere.com 
we want to hear from you!

Cash receipts are the most often requested addition to our family of PDA software.  Almost all of our merchants accept cash, and they have a printer and PDA, but no way to generate a receipt!  Now with Pocket Change you can enter your sales amount, have the tax calculated, enter the amount tendered, have the change calculated, and print the receipt!  You can order it for only $10 online by clicking here !

  Pocket Change requires Pocket Verifier (or one of its cousins), it uses the option settings for its tax calculation, and receipt header / footer layout.


Pocket Verifier Options

The software Pocket Change requires to operate are:

  ●  Pocket Verifier Professional
  ●  Web Connect for PDA's
  ●  Mobile Verifier
  ●  NueMerchant Plus
  ●  Stellar Pocket
  ●  Mobile Swipe Pro
  ●  Integrated Mobile Merchant

In order to insure compatibility, you will need to be using Version 8.30 or greater.

This package is currently available for Palm OS, keep an eye on next week's email for Pocket PC!

  Receipt customization. Merchants can now customize the top AND the bottom of their receipts [1] with customized text, in large, small, bold and normal fonts, along with individual choice of left, right, or center justification! You still have the choice of standard (32 char/line 6 LPI) or condensed (42 char/line 8 LPI) for optimum paper use, and the titles can track this selection, or auto-override at your option!  These options are set inside the OPTIONS section of Pocket Verifier Professional. See our July 10 newsletter for all your formatting options!

  Two types of receipts! Pocket Change can issue a "service" receipt, where you print out the receipt, like in a restaurant, it has a place for the customer to enter tip, and total [2]. If "Show Tip Suggestion" is checked, the receipt will show pre-calculated tip suggestions of 15%, 18% and 20% [3] for your customer's convenience!
