Coupons can be set to run automatically from the POS so that when the criteria is met the system will apply the active auto-coupon to sales on the POS.

Merchants when setting a coupon will notice that the system will show the end and start dates for the coupon set active, so that they can maintain which coupons are active, for promotions or sales.

Printed Gift Receipts

At the complete of a transaction, users will be prompted if they would like to print a gift receipt. The gift receipt will include transaction information and items, while excluding payment information.
