How to use Prompt for Price or what some call convenience store mode

Many old fashion cash registers had departments or PLU (price look up).  Prompt for price is our new version of an old fashion method.  This feature can be used by a store that might have hundreds or thousands of items and don't want to add each item.  If you did want to add thousands of items, send us your spread sheet and we will do it for you.  Prompt for price is an alternative to adding each item.  Prompt for price is a way to add an item called "Drinks" or "Beer" or "Chips".  But instead of entering a price for each of these items when you select the item the system will ask your for the price.  Let's show how to do it.

From the home screen click + Add Item.

Name your item and select prompt for price and save the item.  Hit the X in the upper right to close the window.  In this example my Item is Beer.

Okay let's do a sale, select "Beer," the item we just created, and notice the software will prompt you to enter the price.

Now you see the item in the cart for the price we entered it.  Now click the "Total" to complete the sale.

That is our version of departments or PLU (Price Look Up) but with a new twist.  Thank you.

What is Terminal Credit? or How do i use my existing credit card reader with Datio POS?

Many of our customers requested to be able to use their existing credit card terminal.  Many want to do this because they have long term contracts with their existing processor.  Well now you can do it!  It is very simple to set up.
From the home screen go to Extras at the lower right.

Then select Custom Setup then Terminal Credit.

Turn On Terminal Credit in your Datio POS app.

Start a sale, by selecting an item and add to cart, select the total to start the payment process, below shows with Tips turned on, if Tips are off this screen will not be shown.  Turning Tips on is a great way to help increase your revenue from Tips.

Now it is time to enter the amount and swipe the credit card on our payment terminal.

Now let your customer pick his receipt type.

That is it.  At a later date if you decide to add integrated Datio credit card processing just send us a text at 408-643-0990 and we will help you get set up.
