Feature 4: AID auto-select Merchant Value: Merchants no longer have to manually select Debit to perform debit transactions in the US. If they choose to auto-select debit AIDs, any debit or combo credit/debit card swiped will trigger the debit PIN flow, saving time, confusion, and transaction processing fees for the merchant. The merchant can choose to auto-select credit instead, which will improve transaction speed at the expense of paying credit card processing fees. Business Impact: Save merchants money and/or improve transaction speed Feature Details including any UI design: TBD
Feature 6: New Settlements app Merchant Value: Brand-new Settlements app design with more intuitive navigation, the ability to set auto-settlement time directly from the device, and the ability to view pending settlements as well as completed ones. Business Impact: Settlement reliability and configurability Feature Details including any UI design:
Feature 7: Multi-location management for resellers Merchant Value: We now support managing hundreds of stores under one business on Mission Control, with the ability to search, filter, edit settings, and View As each store. We also have released a long list of new features on Mission Control including viewing bugreports, editing/deleting TID and store info, and enabling/disabling apps (e.g. Lodging) for special merchant use cases.
