Emporos customers know the value of having FSA-Eligible Items flagged as "Qualified" automatically by their MerchantSoft POS... and now it looks like the long-awaited category of sunscreen may soon be added.
SIGIS' latest newsletter says:
"... we are reviewing product descriptions of sunscreen and sunblock products to determine which broad spectrum, SPF 15+ items can be added to the list."
"Note that we will add only those items that can be clearly identified as SPF 15 or higher and that provide protection against both ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) and ultraviolet A radiation (UVA). These products will not require an Rx for purchase with a health care debit card at SIGIS certified merchants."
All this, just in time for winter! :)

Credit Card Waiting Approval is another MerchantSoft tool to improve your retail customer's experience. This optional feature allows merchants to set up a pre-defined authorization limit for card transactions in the event internet approvals are not available. The pre-defined limit will put these transactions in a queue to be processed as soon as the web is available and the payment gateway may be contacted for an approval. Meanwhile, the retail customer doesn't have to wait for the web to come back up and is able to complete his or her purchase.

The End of Month process is crucial to ensuring customer Accounts Receivable balances are updated appropriately, and more importantly, stated correctly on the customer statement. Integral to the process are the Aged Trial Balance report, Finance Charges Report, and Miscellaneous Adjustments Report. We will discuss how to use these reports and POS View History to reconcile AR.

Emporos joins the National Community Pharmacists Association in endorsing the bipartisan proposal to restore patients' ability to purchase over-the-counter medications with their Flexible Spending Account (FSA). With Emporos' MerchantSoft pharmacy point of sale system, eligible OTC items are flagged for purchase with an FSA card. If this proposal passes and SIGIS expands the list of eligible items, MerchantSoft will automatically update customers' system with the expanded list.
Read more about this proposal at the NCPA's website.
