Feature Updates:

  • The E700 can now be configured to prompt for tips on the Q20 card reader instead of on the E700 screen 

    • Note: This functionality requires minimum POS Web version 2.40.19-qs and must be enabled by VN. Please contact VN Support or your Account Manager to enable this functionality 

    • Once the feature has been enabled, you can now configure your E700s for tipping on the Q20 with the following steps:

      1. Login on the E700

      2. Tap the hamburger button in the top left corner 

      3. Select Configuration > Back > Select Device Type “Customer Facing Display POS” > Next > Complete device configuration

  • Added support for authorization slip printing when using Back Bar tabs (requires minimum POS Web version 2.40.19-qs)

  • Offline orders will now be updated to the correct state more reliably following a sync (requires minimum POS Web version 2.40.19-qs)

  • There will now be more clear messaging and a Retry option when trying to launch the POS app on a device that is offline

  • There is now extra padding at the top of the kitchen chit to prevent hiding content when hanging in an expo rail

  • Mastercard animation can now be enabled dynamically on native Android card readers instead of requiring a new APK build. Please contact VN Support or your Account Manager to enable this functionality on your devices

  • Improved readability of kitchen chits and printed receipts

  • The Android status bar will now always be visible on A3700s

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where the app would sometimes launch into the “offline” screen despite the device being online

  • Mitigated an issue where the POS app would sometimes get stuck on an endless spinner when initiating the card reader 

  • Fixed an issue where the POS could never switch to a cloud receipt printer if it ever had a Star USB printer attached

  • Fixed an issue where there was not enough padding at the bottom of the printed receipt
