Important Security Settings

This is only for PCS users that use the POS portion of the software.

Witha any payment processor your employees will be able to process Live payments as well as record payments.

It is CRITICAL that you give your employees permissions to do this. If you do not set their permissions the payments that they take will only be recorded and not charged. In the software anytime you input only 4 numbers of a credit card the card WILL NOT be charged. For live payments ALL numbers of the credit card must be showing on the screen. To give you employees permission to process live payments.

• From the Admin Screen Select Manage Users
• Select the User Name
• Select the Check Box next to "Live Payment Processing" on the right side of the screen
• Save Changes

This needs to be done for each employee that is taking live payments!
