EFFECTIVE USE
Process Payments Efficiently
If you have a fast-paced business, it is a good idea to integrate at least one swiping machine with Cyrious. When you choose to apply a credit card payment, you can then swipe the card, rather than having to type numbers in.
You can also access the payment screen when you have an order window open, or by selecting the Post Payment option when right clicking on the order from the order grid in Explorer.
