Are You Using Layaways?
With the holiday’s not too far away it is probably time to start thinking about how to make the most of it. If you are using NCR CounterPoint, setting up the the Layaway feature might just be the ticket.
Although I will not go into great detail into setting this up, NCR CounterPoint’s layaway feature handles layaways exactly like orders, allowing you to add layaway lines to a ticket, accept deposits and payments, view and edit open layaways, and pick and release completed layaways.
You can configure NCR CounterPoint to require minimum deposits for orders or layaways, either a flat amount or a percentage of the total amount due. Minimum deposit requirements can vary based on line type. For example, you can
require a $5 minimum deposit for an order, 20% for a backorder, 50% for a special order, and $10 for a layaway.
And you can tender multiple payment types for each deposit, allowing a customer to pay a part of a deposit in cash and put the remainder on a credit card.
If you would like help setting your system up for doing layaways or orders, contact the CCS Retail Systems Support Department at 800.672.4806 or email us.
