Target Release Date: 29 May 2023
Release Version: InteractX_2.5.0
Content: New Vouchers Webview Modal (OTG), support for Reset Order Data (see KDSX 5.12)

Compatibility:
ActivateX - 16.5.0
Check Sync - 1.2.1.1
Connect - 12.4
KDSX - 5.12.0
KDS (iOS) - 4.11.0

The primary purpose of this release is to add a new feature (Vouchers Webview Modal, developed for OTG). This release also adds IX support to the new Reset Order Data function for KDS Android & Check Sync).

Feature updates:

  • Vouchers Webview Modal:

  • IX now supports launching a customizable Webview Modal to collect payment using vouchers that leverage credit networks for processing.

    • This was originally a request from a specific customer (OTG-063). Still, this feature can be used by any kiosk guest wanting to redeem value off a co-branded voucher and potentially also use a credit card to pay the order balance.

  • This feature can be enabled in Connect at Terminal Roles > Payments > Credit > Enable Manual Entry as Separate Tender.

  • Once this setting is enabled, the Kiosk Theme module is expanded to offer an additional section - Manual Entry Guest Hint Screen. This allows for the usual Themes configuration.

  • The option is available on the Payment Selection screen as a new Voucher button. The Vouchers screen offers a few pre-defined amounts (based on the most popular voucher amounts) and an Exact button. Guests can also enter a desired amount manually.

    • IX prevents the user from selecting/entering amounts higher than the balance due.

  • With this change, IX guests can now pay with:

    • 1 Voucher and 1 Gift Card

    • 1 Voucher and 1 Credit Card

    • 1 Gift Card and 1 Credit Card

    • Multiple Vouchers + 1 Credit Card

    • Multiple Vouchers + Multiple Gift Cards

    • 1 or more vouchers + Glory Cash

    • 1 or more vouchers + custom tenders + credit card

      • Multiple credit cards are not supported in this first release.

  • When paying with Voucher, the guest has to scan the Voucher in IX OR manually enter the voucher details on the payment device (not on the Kiosk).

  • Reset Order Data (KDS Android & Check Sync):

    • This version adds support to the new Reset Order Data function. This feature was developed to help support and implementation staff in restoring the operation of a location by immediately removing all orders from all of the local apps (ActivateX, InteractX, KDS Android and Check Sync). It is controlled by a new button on the Check Sync Server screen - see KDSX 5.12 Release notes for more information.

Known limitations:

  • Order Types are not supported when running with Checks in Connect Mode.

  • ActivateX and InteractX do not directly support manual entry of the Credit Card number information on the app (due to PCI Compliance restrictions).
