A new field in Account Settings updates labeling for the Dual Price and Admin Fee settings. Now the Dual Price and Admin Fee settings both have custom fields. These enhancements provide increased control and clarity over how pricing labels appear on the Customer Facing Display (CFD).

Merchants now have the ability to use their Google app password to send emails via Exatouch. This benefits merchants by enabling them to use their corporate or personal email accounts to send mass emails and other messages. Entering an app-specific password also simplifies the connection between Exatouch and a merchant’s email server.
To use this feature, merchants create a Google app specific password, and then enter that password on the Email tab under Settings Preferences.
- See: Enable Email Settings.
Merchants can now send customers receipts via SMS text message from the Register app. When the Receipt Prompt setting is enabled in Printer Settings, the Text Message button displays as a selectable option on the receipt prompt pop-up screen.
This feature benefits merchants by providing a fast, reliable, and environmentally friendly method of providing receipts. Customers don’t have to worry about losing paper receipts, and SMS receipts help save merchants money by reducing paper costs.

Release Notes 8.367 (April 10, 2024)
A new Add Fee to Suggested Tip setting has been added to the Admin Fee tab under Account Settings.
Enhancements in this release also add suggested tips amounts on the Customer Facing Display. This makes it easier for customers to quickly include a tip preassigned or custom tip to their check.

We’ve made it easier to manage tips by adding a Deduct Fee from Tips setting, which gives merchants the ability to deduct credit and debit fees from staff tips. This setting ensures that dual pricing fees do not impact employee tips.
- Note: To enable the Deduct Fee From Tips setting, contact Technical Support at 800-966-520 – Option 3.
- Warning: Exatouch versions 8.367 and earlier may not fully comply with recently implemented card brand requirements. Electronic Payments, Inc. strongly recommends you update to the latest version of Exatouch to meet these requirements.
