'Credit' Payment Methods

[2dFx]

So I rung through a sale that involved payment by 'Credit'.

I assume in the traditional sense...we are talking about credit cards.

Needless to say the program does not prompt for a card number, on the receipt it doesnt print a signature line, etc. how about the rest of us with magstripe readers? Say when credit is required, the prog takes the card number, expiry etc and prints a receipt that we can use as a signature record?

Just an idea, didnt really know where to put it!

2dFx,

Currently the POS program does not actaully process credit cards meaning that it does not call up your credit card service to validate a customer's card and actually charge the sale to his card.

To do that you will need the hardware provided by your credit card service and that hardware will pronpt for the card number, print out a slip to be signed, etc.

I am currently trying to add support for the X-Charge credit validation service to the POS program but it is going slowly due to hardware interface issues (serial pin pad device.)

Wow....X-Charge was going to be the next thing I wanted to suggest! I hope that goes well for you!

Things were going well until I got the pin pad device. I am having problems interfacing with it (it is a serial deal.). Jon is working on it so I have high hopes.
