The SAM4pos Systems handles EBT (Food Stamp) transactions the correct way, take a look

 

If you accept EBT (Food Stamps) at your store, you should use a POS system that does it the right way like SAM4pos does

I'm always amazed every time a business calls us that just bought some cloud based POS system for their retail store and it does not handle EBT transactions. We see it time and time again where the flashy cloud based tablet system cant process a transaction with EBT sorting. Cash Registers have been sorting food stamp transactions for years, it is really rather simple. Here is how it works; we program the department button or the UPC to be Food Stamp eligible even if that department or UPS is taxable. Now that the register knows which UPC's or department sales are EBT eligible we can ring in all items in a sale at the same time regardless of how a customer is going to pay. Just watch the video above and it will explain it all. It works the same way on entry level cash registers and the higher end SAM4pos system in the video. 

If your POS system can't sort EBT then you need another system

A system that sorts EBT items in a transaction saves you time, money and possibly fines. If you leave it up to your cashiers to determine what is eligible and what is not you can set your business up for some trouble. Take it out of the cashiers hands with a good system. If you get caught accepting EBT for non EBT eligible items you are going to get in trouble and could have your ability to accept EBT taken away for awhile.

This is why the SAM4s SAP-6600II with SAM4pos is a great system for retail stores

 

You need a retail system with real features, that is what you get with SAM4pos on the SAP-6600II

We get calls every day from people that bought some cloud based POS system for their retail store only to find out it didn't have basic features that a good POS will have. Here are just a few of the basic features that SAM4s has had for years that so many of the cloud based POS systems don't.

  • EBT/Food Stamp sorting in one transaction
  • Mix and Match pricing
  • Bottle Deposit

A retail system should focus on efficient operation, SAM4s does because they have years of experience and they are not a credit card company 

You would be shocked at how many systems on the market can't perform basic features that cash registers and POS systems have been doing for year. You might be asking why does that happen. Well several years ago credit card processing companies started making POS systems. These system could accept credit cards but that was about it.  That is why we keep replacing so many of those systems. 

SAM4s systems are not cloud based and don't have subscriptions 

Our customers love the fact their SAM4s system is not cloud based and their data stays in their stores not up in the cloud. Another thing they really enjoy is that with SAM4s you can buy it outright, no monthly subscriptions for the life of the system. Have you ever done the math on some of the subscriptions? Lets say you bought a system that requires a subscription of $59.00 a month which is pretty average. In our experience a POS system last 5 to 10 years, sometimes longer. So lets says you system last seven years. If you were in a subscription for those seven years you would have paid $4956.00 in subscription fees. That is more than double what you would have paid for a SAM4s system. For more information on the best system for retail stores call us at 800-863-2274

The SAM4s ER-260EJ Cash Register proves good things come in small packages


 If you want a POS system with no monthly payments that is simple and affordable check out the SAM4s ER-260EJ

Stop wasting money on POS systems that make you pay monthly and put your data on the cloud. The vast majority of us don't need that we just need a simple cash register with a few departments. The ER-260EJ works in retail stores and saves you a tone of money. It features 15 departments, computes tax, computes change, applies discounts, can do bar code scanning, Mix and Match pricing and even EBT (Food Stamp) sorting better then most cloud based POS. 

The SAM4s ER-260EJ even can connect to a credit card terminal

You always want to have your cash register or POS system attached to a credit card terminal directly. Don't rely on a standalone credit card terminal. The reason to connect directly is to eliminate the costly mistakes your cashiers are making on accident or possibly on purpose. If they ring up $19.99 make sure the customers card is getting charged $19.99 not accidently $1.99 which happens all to often when you don't directly connect the terminal. Why do you think big companies connected their POS to credit card terminals years ago. It is because they did the match and knew it was a great investment in trying the two devices together.  With the ER-260EJ it is so affordable to connect the two together there is no reason not to and far more reasons to do it. To find out more about ordering a SAM4s ER-260EJ with  a connected credit card terminal  call us at 800-863-2274.

Incredibly affordable Dual Pricing Cash Register System from SAM4s

 


You can eliminate all or most of your credit card fees using a SAM4s ER-265EJ with Dual Pricing and its affordable

If you are not familiar with Dual Pricing credit card programs you should look into it. It is a pretty straight forward program being offered from merchant services around the country. Here is the program works. You ring up your sale like normal and send the transaction to the pin pad connected to the cash register. The pin pad will then display two prices on the pin pad. let's use a dollar amount of $10.00 to make this simple. So on a $10.00 sale the pin pad will display Cash = $10.00 Credit = $10.39. The customer will then select on the pin pad which method of payment they would like to use. If they select Credit they will pay $10.39 which is the amount of the sale plus the credit card fees. You as the merchant will receive $10.00 for that sale. If the customer selects Cash on the pin pad the register will cancel the credit card sale and the cashier will then finish the sale with cash. In this case you also receive the entire $10.00. This is a game changer for small business, you can now eliminate thousands of dollars worth of credit card fees. 

The Cash Register Guys offer a very affordable cash register credit card terminal bundle that supports the Dual Pricing merchant services program

We have bundled the SAM4s ER-265EJ cash register and a pin pad at a very affordable price. The advantage of using a SAM4s cash register like this are many and also save you even more money. One way the SAM4s saves you even more money is unlike other systems the SAM4s can be bought outright, no costly monthly subscriptions like you have with Clover, LightSpeed, Square, NRS or others. Have you ever thought about how much you really pay with a subscription based POS? Just think about it, if you are paying $49.00 a month and you have used it for five years than you have paid $2940.00 and still paying. SAM4s systems are also not cloud based so your sales data stays in the register in your store or restaurant.
