Important features and notes:
1. The devices must have Wi-Fi connectivity to Salesware Service application in order to function. An iPhone can alternatively connect via SSL cellular. This architecture allows for centralized use of Sales logic while taking advantage of the device specific functions for the app development. It also allows for easier expansion to other devices in the future, such as the Android.
2. The handheld salespoint supports the multikey lookup functionality that allows an operator to type the item nickname or User Defined Field (UDF) in order to add it to the sale. This multikey lookup function can also be achieved by scanning a barcode that contains the item nickname or UDF. Support of this feature allows for quick sales of games and redemptions of prizes.
3. Although the intent is to primarily pay with a credit card swipe or IHC barcode scan, it is possible to pull up a list of other payment types so that customers can still pay with, for instance, Cash. In order to facilitate easy payment to cash, a barcode scan or single button press can be used to finalize the sale to cash.
Note: In this barcode scan or single button press Pay to cash process, change due would need to be calculated by the operator, not the system. If a Change due calculation by the system is required, then the one-touch Pay-to-cash option is not used.
4. The handheld salespoint is able to detect modified IHC barcodes printed on wristbands (barcodes with %B + the IHC number that have either the BIN or BIN+Program ID omitted) and append the static portion of the card numbers prior to getting authorizations for IHC charges.
5. Operator log-ins are supported, including the barcode scan/ card swipe log-in feature.
6. %E pass swipes for automated discounts are supported.
7. Wireless network and Bluetooth printers can be used for printing sales receipts or even tickets, if they are required for customers.
