Point-of-Sale Devices Configuration
The Point-of-Sale Devices screen can be used to configure point-of-sale devices by dealership address, type and function of the point-of-sale device, and additional network details tied to the configured device.
Note: Signatures collected via these devices are completely independent of VESign.
If you are configuring a Worldpay device, see Worldpay Setup.
You can access the Point-of-Sale Devices configuration by navigating to: Configuration > Interfaces > IntelliDealer > Point-of-Sale Devices.
Tip: As a best practice, dealers should not share Point-of-Sale devices and should associate each device to a separate computer for customer processing. If this is not possible, dealers should ensure that multiple customers are not being processed through a single Point-of-Sale device at the same time when a signature is required. IntelliDealer will prompt the customer for a signature on the Point-of-Sale device when required and it is important that the correct signature is associated to the correct invoice.
