The most important question of the day - DID YOU GET YOUR coreFFEINE and mug? Let us know if you didn't receive it and we will make sure we track it down. Hopefully, the UPS driver didn't drink it! It's just a small way for us to tell you all that we truly appreciate you as customers.
Let's get down to business.
fix Yes, I'm starting with a bug! Transfers of firearms were causing an invalid entry in the bound book. This has been fixed.
important If your computer is rebooting after you try and print labels or receipts, this is a WINDOWS BUG!!!! Yes, believe it or not, Windows has bugs in it and we have no control over them. The good news is that there is a fix which entails uninstalling the latest Windows update. Read more here.
fix If you are running the 4473 on an IPAD and have had issues with it working, make sure to do the following:
Download the Chrome app for iOS and then when you run it on the kiosk:
- Tap the "..." button in the toolbar and tap "Settings"
- In Settings, tap on "Content Settings"
- Then tap "Block Pop-ups"
- Turn of "Block Popups" and exit Settings
From this point on the kiosk should work properly.
new feature Price by serial number
The point of sale system will now allow you to price items by the serial number. This work by setting the following configuration option which you can find right under the Items section of the Store Config.
Moving forward when you receive items if you make a change to the selling price of the item during receiving it will update the price for that specific serial number which you can see at the bottom of the items screen. You can also go to the items screen directly and update the price on any serial number. When you do this and you set the store configuration option mentioned above, when you are selling the item the system will grab the price of the item based on the serial number itself. This provides some flexibility of having the same item but different price points that are driven by the serial number itself.
coreCLEAR is our merchant services offering, yes we are now offering merchant processing. Clear your confusion about credit card processing with coreCLEAR! We did this because our goal is to continue to unpeel what I like to refer to as the technology onion. Layer upon layer upon layer of complexity is what you as a small business owner has to deal with. We are growing Coreware to offer you a one-stop-shop with the most feature-rich, affordable products and services coupled with what I like to call fanatical support.
We offer two of pricing programs for our merchant services. The 2525 program is 2.5% and $0.25 a transaction or interchange plus. Both programs have no monthly fees, no statement fees, no hidden fees and no more confusion, well... as little confusion as we can offer. With our flat-rate program, you can get your coreSTORE subscription upgraded to the unlimited plan and not pay us a dime, as long as you run $10,000 or more worth of credit card transactions a month.
Interchange rates are extremely complex thanks to Visa/Mastercard and their ridiculous number of over 200 different card and cost permutations. But we are trying to provide merchants with Clear, honest, and straightforward merchant processing. If you are interested in our interchange+ program we will provide you with a free analysis to show you how much money we can save your business by switching to coreCLEAR.
We will be hosting a webinar on coreCLEAR mid-month of April so be on the lookout for an invite, but in the meantime please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you are interested in learning more about coreCLEAR.
new feature Card Not Present Transactions

new feature Support for mobile card reader & desktop reader
Using coreCLEAR we now have added support for much cheaper, simpler, and better credit card terminals. Together with our customer-facing display, they make a wonderful solution.
