We are excited to announce two new Till theme colours.

Till themes allow you to change the appearance of your screen from classic to light or dark mode.

As this is a beta feature, merchants will be able to try it by enabling it in Epos Now Labs. Epos Now Labs serves as a place where we allow our merchants to try the latest features before we officially release them.

Want to give this feature a try? Go to:

  1. Download Epos Now Labs from the Back Office App Store
  2. Once installed, scroll down to “Till Themes (beta)" and enable it
  3. Carry out a cloud sync (or go to your front Till)
  4. Once completed, you will be presented with a theme selector

To change to another Till theme go to Till settings > appearance tab.

This new feature gives the ability to enable pre-set tipping values and choose the values that are displayed on your card machine. 

Choose whether you want to display a preset numerical value or percentage of the total bill. In addition, there is also an option to add the possibility for the customer to insert a value of choice.

We're excited to officially roll out the Australian Card Surcharging App for all merchants. 

What is card surcharging?

Card surcharging empowers businesses to offset card transaction fees by imposing a surcharge on the total amount if a customer opts for card payment.

How to enable and configure

Simply click on the button below and download the app.

Once installed, navigate to the Back Office > Setup > Payments >  Surcharge Settings and set your desired surcharge percentage.
