In our latest Android ETPOS update we're rolling out enhancements for multi-merchant, surcharging and MOTO along with a host of other updates and features to make taking payment a breeze.

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.

You can now passcode-protect Manual/MOTO transactions🔑 

You can now passcode-protect Manual Card Entry transactions on your terminal as an additional security measure.

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.
