Multi-merchant merchants can now have different banks👫

Multi-merchant is now available for merchants who have settlement bank accounts with different banks.

Override surcharging for MOTO transactions🎢 

This optional feature is a lifesaver for businesses that use 3rd-party booking websites like booking.com. When enabled, a prompt appears before you process a MOTO/Manual transaction to confirm whether a surcharge should be applied to the transaction.

Customer surcharge prompt is now optional for contactless transactions⚡

We've had some customer feedback that cardholders don't always wait to confirm the surcharge after tapping their card to pay. Now you can disable the Confirm Surcharge screen for contactless transactions.

• Call our Technical Helpdesk to get the prompt disabled (0800 338 767, option 2)

Changes to transaction history💻

We've reduced the Transaction History retention period from 183 days to 90 days. If you need to look up transactions from over 3 months ago, you can use Verifone Central

Verifone Central is our Merchant Portal. Build and download detailed transaction lists for reporting and reconciliation. Drill down to a particular day, store, EFTPOS terminal or transaction to get exactly the detail you need. Save time with recurring transaction reports delivered straight to your inbox.

It's now easier to send emails✉️

We've made some improvements to the virtual keyboard on your terminal to make it easier to enter email addresses when you're sending receipts or reports via email.

Signature capture is now more intuitive🖋️

We've changed up the transaction flow for transactions where a signature is required. The Approved screen is now displayed after the signature is verified instead of before.

• Your terminal prompts for signature while it is in Offline Mode

We've made some enhancements to Offline Mode📶
