| NEW |

| New Login option – Users can now log in using the SmartPOS device serial number along with their email address: For active users: They can choose to log in either with their password or the device serial number. For new users:They can initially log in using the device serial number and email. Setting a password can be done later. Note: For performing refunds and other operations that require authentication, setting a password is always mandatory. – The sections “Request new card reader”, “Request new payment method”, and “Suggestions” have been removed |
| New Types of Two-Step Purchase Operation – The two-step purchase operation is now available in additional services such as vending machines, accommodation/hospitality management, rent-a-car, car wash, and self-service laundries. These use cases allow the Cardholder to perform an initial authorization at the time of booking or service access, with the final payment made based on the actual consumption or usage of the service. |
| Flexible Refunds – This feature allows refunds to be made on a different terminal ID than the one used for the original purchase, as long as they belong to the same Merchant. – Refunds can be performed by any user with the appropriate permissions (owner, administrator, and manager). The refund details will always be associated with the history and reconciliation of the terminal ID of the original purchase, including the information of the user who performed the refund. This functionality is enabled by default and can be accessed through the “Search Transactions” menu in the Payments app. Only the owner can disable this feature in the “Settings” menu. To find the transaction to be refunded, the user must search by purchase terminal ID, authorization ID, and the date and time of the transaction. These details can be found on the purchase receipt. |
