Set sales tax rates and tipping right in the app, and leverage bar codes and images to create specific inventory groups to expedite sales. EMV-READY Firstep POS is one of the first EMV-enabled and -capable mPOS solutions to be released in the U.S., offering chip card transaction support* and EMV payment acceptance for merchants aiming to avoid liability when responsibility for card payment fraud shifts from consumers to merchants on October 1, 2015.
