[Revised Sept 14 - Legacy Help]

 Overview

There are 2 types of Eftpos Systems, integrated and interfaced

 A fully integrated sale is where, if the amount tendered in the sales screen is displayed in the EftPoS field and the sales staff presses either the + or F12 to complete the transaction, control is passed from RxOne to EftPoS software. This will automatically dial out and pass the dollar value together with the account type (credit or debit card) to be processed through ENZ channel. If sufficient funds exist, this is indicated by the EftPoS software and passed to RxOne then the sale transaction within RxOne is completed.

This is a two way system. The Eftpos provider installs software on your computer that RxOne will pass the value of the sale to the system Eftpos system, which notify RxOne if the transaction was successfult.  The main advantage of this system is the reduction or elimination of extra phone lines for Eftpos. The main disadvantage is if your computer breaks you won’t have Eftpos.  Windcave SC and Vault provide this system.

 An interfaced sale is where, if the amount tendered in the sales screen is displayed in the EftPoS field and the sales staff presses either the + or F12 to complete the transaction, control is passed from RxOne to the EftPoS Terminal. This will automatically dial out and pass the dollar value together with the account type (credit or debit card) to be processed through ENZ channel. If sufficient funds exist, this is indicated by the EftPoS Terminal, the user then informs RxOne and the sale transaction within RxOne is completed. Smart Pay and Windcave HIT provide this system.

Benefits of full EftPOS integration (2 way system)

Improved accuracy of sales transactions. There can be no discrepancy between the amount entered in the computer and that which is debited from customers accounts.

Speed of processing sales is increased as there is no double entry and as soon as the sale is tendered, automatic dial up begins - saving valuable time.

Receipt printing for both the sale and the EftPoS is from your docket printer.
