SmartSELECT Merchant Operating Manual v 2.0 21
Features & Procedures
3.3.9: Cheque Authorization
This feature allows you to give your customers the option of paying with a cheque
while reducing your risk of accepting an NFS cheque. Use the SmartSELECT ter-
minal to connect to a cheque authorization service and obtain approval using your
customer’s driver’s license or credit card.
3.3.10: Purchasing Cards
Purchasing cards are a special type of credit card that provide enhanced reporting
data to help customers with cost allocation, tax compliance and account reconcili-
ation.
If this feature is enabled on your terminal, the terminal will prompt for a Customer
Reference Number and tax amounts for each Purchasing Card transaction and will
print the reference number and tax amounts on the receipt. The reference number
and tax amounts will also appear on the customer’s monthly statement from the
Purchasing Card provider.
3.3.11: Gift Cards
Use this feature to allow your customers to use Gift Cards to make purchases in
your place of business. Gift Cards are plastic cards that can be used as gift certifi-
cates. The customer purchases a gift card with a specified value on it and then
uses that card instead of cash or a credit or debit card. Gift Cards must be acti-
vated before they can be used and the customer can do a balance inquiry using
your terminal to determine how much value is left on the card.
Gift Card programs currently supported on the SmartSELECT terminal include
ERNEX and ValueLink. Contact your Moneris sales representative for further
details on these programs.
3.3.12: Loyalty Programs
Use this feature to offer your customers the opportunity to collect points on a loy-
alty card based on the dollar value of purchases they make. Some programs also
provide points based on the purchase of specific items or incentive calculations
that can be implemented for a specific time period.
The AIR MILES program is currently supported on the SmartSELECT. Contact
your Moneris sales representative for further details on this program.
3.3.13: Clerk Subtotalling
This feature provides you with the option of obtaining Subtotals for one clerk or a
group of clerks on one or more terminals. Clerk IDs must be enabled and entered
during transactions in order to use Clerk Subtotalling.
IMPORTANT:
Clerk Subtotals must cleared manually on a
regular basis (weekly is recommended). If not,
the Moneris Host will automatically clear the
totals when the number of transactions for a card
type within a Clerk ID reaches 10,000.
