Android Activate X v15.2.0 

Release Date: February 26, 2021

Enhancements

Discounts

  • The Entitlements plan used by Disney (Dine Plan) has been reviewed to support transactions with a high number of items (up to 99). These orders can also be refunded using the non-receipted refund flow.

Modifiers

  • Users are now able to remove modifiers from orders individually, regardless of their configuration.

Credit Payments & Hardware

  • Receipted refunds can now be processed at a Back-of-House station with no pinpad attached, for Freedompay accounts. Refunds to alternate cards, or custom (non-receipt) refunds, will continue to require a pinpad for entry of the card.

Suites

  • Suites Tokenized Payment: Payment methods saved in the Suites Pre-Order Portal can be used to pay for Suites Checks in AX. This only works for venues configured with Freedompay payment gateways for the time being.

Integrations

  • Tip-at-Charge functionality added to Compact Mode.

Limitations

  • Tokenized payment requires a matching Suite Account and User in order to utilize the stored payment.
  • If the final order of the day is offline, it may not automatically sync to Connect. Work-around is to manually sync at end-of-day, or it will auto-sync with the next online transaction.
  • BarCode scan does not dismiss if the cancel button is pressed on ISMP4 pinpad. Work-around is to manually dismiss the dialog and cancel scan.
  • When rebooting an attached pinpad, user must wait until device is fully completed with the reboot prior to selecting EMV info icon from the Diagnostics page. Attempting to view EMV properties DURING a reboot may hang the device, making it unable to take payments.
    • For Elavon pin pads : wait for Appetize logo screen to appear after restarting
    • For Freedompay pin pads : wait for Secured by Freedompay screen to appear after restarting

Fixes

  • ActivateX now allows users to correct rest, assign and unassign the Cash Drawer using the Side Menu.
    • When the drawer is assigned to the current user, the option will appear as Unassign Cash Drawer.
    • When the drawer is assigned to another cashier, the option will appear as Reset Cash Drawer.
    • When the drawer is not assigned to any users, the option will show as Assign Cash Drawer.
  • The "Please Close Cash Drawer" Prompt now appears correctly.
  • ActivateX no longer freezes in the Payments Screen.
  • Corrected PAR Restock unit display on the PAR Restock view.

  • Resolved issue with Stadis discounts.
  • Refunds on a check-management account, for orders created at the kiosk no longer prompts for the payment card to be presented.
  • Corrected an issue with Ingenico Tellium devices reporting as incompatible due to RBA AOD flag detectable by POS.
  • Corrected an issue with correct Ingenico pinpad diagnostic information after a pinpad is rebooted.

Android Activate X v15.1.0 

Release Date: January 8, 2021

Enhancements

Core Functionality

  • ActivateX now supports configuration that allows customers to decide what happens when the Cancel Order button (top bar) is used: Only clear unsubmitted items; Clear unsubmitted items and void submitted items; Void any submitted items and close the order.
  • We added support to a new setting in Connect that lets users define how ActivateX assigns Check Ownership - sales can now be assigned to the user that opened the check OR to the user that last edited (or closed) the check.
  • ActivateX users are now able to view and edit all aspects of an item from a single screen - details such as Qty, Price, Seat, Course, Modifiers, Instructions, Notes, Discounts and Fees are all now accessible from the same point.

Discounts

  • ActivateX discounts now offer an additional setting (available in Connect as Max Qty per Match).
    • This was requested to limit the number of items from a category that a customer can choose to include in a discount, supporting Pick 2 combo scenarios (where the customer can choose 1 soup and 1 sandwich, but not 2 soups to make up the combo and get the discount). 

Modifiers

  • Our Modifiers in ActivateX now support two additional options - Exceed Max and Exceed Max Price.
    • Exceed Max allows customers to define that specific modifiers can exceed the limits on each item set.
    • Exceed Max Price defines an alternative price that will be used for a modifier that  exceeded the max quantity.
    • Both options are only available when Pricing Mode is set to Add price to order.
  • The User Interface on the Modifiers screen was simplified to allow users better visibility over the modifier prices. 

Credit Payments & Hardware

  • ActivateX can be configured to play the VISA and/or MASTERCARD sonic brand audio, when a customer presents a card of those brands.
  • Elavon pinpads now support USB-only connections. With appropriate firmware loaded, they do not require an internet connection or COMBOX for install. They only need to access the network (WiFi) for device updates.
  • Pinpad Health
    • Diagnostics page now provides pinpad detail when clicking on EMV Device icon, to aid in trouble-shooting device setup.
    • Analytics report now available on history/status of pinpad updates, across the venue/vendor.

Integrations

  • Compact Mode - Added support for checks functionality; an AX user can now create, transfer, proxy, or combine checks as well as make tip adjustments on mobile devices.
  • Offline Stored Value - The following Stored Value payment methods can be utilized in Offline Mode: Vantiv, Fortress, LAVA, & Givex.
  • Camera Barcode Reader - Device camera now capable of scanning barcodes for promos.

Limitations

  • Tips and Fees are not refundable, unless using a custom manual item added as non-receipted refund to order.
  • Use of traditional “Freedompay Direct” gateway is no longer supported, and will block use of credit tender. Account must use the “Freedompay SDK” gateway configuration.
  • Use of incompatible pinpads - with incorrect firmware or communications mode or unsupported mode, AX will not allow devices to be connected. Payment will result in “unable to connect” to pinpad.
  • ISMP4 scanning requires the user to select BARCODE method on the POS. This works for payments, but not for item lookup, at this time.
  • Compact Mode does not support coursing nor seating functionality for table service. Tip-at-charge is not currently supported but will be in a subsequent release.

Fixes

  • Freedompay ISMP4 Payments - disconnect from POS has been corrected.
  • Elavon / Canada Payments - updated firmware allows correct handling of Interac Debit for check management workflows.
  • IPP Pinpad Updates - resolved some instability in the device update process.
  • Elavon Payments - removal of tip or items does not block adding further items or tip to cart.
  • Elavon Payments - update firmware allows correct identification of card brand when using contactless payment method.
  • Skidata - Fixed issue with Skidata payments resulting in negative balance on AX.

Android Activate X v15.0.0 

Release Date: December 11, 2020

Enhancements

Credit Payments & Hardware

  • Card Present payments are accepted in Canada on Freedompay and Elavon.  This includes support for Interac Debit cards.  These cards can be used for sale and custom-refund actions only - they cannot open check or tip, due to industry rules for use of Debit-only cards.
  • Gift & RFID tenders can be read using Elavon pinpads.
  • ActivateX prompts the user to select a desired method of scanning, between Barcode, Card, RFID, or (future) VAS.  ISMP4 pinpads are able to scan barcodes using this method.
  • Automatic update of Ingenico IPP pinpads is supported, from the Diagnostics page, to allow Activate to upgrade the pinpad for use with “Freeway SDK” gateway, when it was previously using “Freeway” (direct) workflow.
  • Elavon pinpads can now be connected with USB cable only, and no longer require a COM-box or splitter cable for ethernet connection.  However, a download of a usb-only patch for the pinpad Simplify application is necessary for this feature.

Performance

  • ActivateX was updated to run correctly in ELO v1 devices, including AIO units. Most noticeable improvements relate to memory usage (reducing crashes) and device interface (mitigating connectivity issues).

Kitchen Interfaces

  • ActivateX is now certified to operate with QSR Automation kitchen systems, covering both Quick Service and Table Service modes.
  • This release supports the KDS iOS update (v4.4.0), set for this month.

  • Split Checks: An item can now be split across multiple checks.
  • Receipts translated into French based on cardholder preference.

Fixes

  • Lane/3000 debit cards were processed with PIN, but were not captured to the gateway, using Elavon on v14.1.1 - this no longer occurs.
  • Entry of a credit card with PIN caused no tip or signature line to show on receipt.  Tip and signature are now shown, if they are enabled on the account.
  • Refund of order which used a credit tender for split payment was not correctly processed, using Elavon on v14.2.0 - this no longer occurs.
  • Users are no longer able to add/edit items to partially paid orders in the Pending Closed tab.

Limitations
