Frequently Asked Questions – Point of Sale

ManageMore currently supports keyboard interface Barcode Scanners with <Enter> or <Tab> suffix termination.  This is approximately 99% of all barcode scanners on the market.  Some older Barcode scanners that use <Ctrl-I> as a terminating Tab character will not work properly or may require some special programming in order for them to properly work in a Windows environment.  Please refer to the requirements page for specific models that have been tested and are compatible with ManageMore.

ManageMore offers integrated credit card authorization for a seamless point-of-sale transaction.  Using our Intellicharge interface, one can support credit card authorization at the point of sale and utilize all popular features like Address Verification System (AVS)  or CVV2.  Intellicharge even supports debit card processing as well.

Electronic cash drawers open based on a special ASCII character or sequence of characters sent along with a printed receipt.  ManageMore comes preset to send the correct code to open your cash drawer depending upon the PRINTER selected.  However, if your printer requires a different code… please refer to Point of Sale Manager Login, Setup Application … Cash Drawer.
