Credit, Debit, and Gift Card Printed Receipt Options

Merchant Service Overview | Gift Card Service Overview

Three preference options are available for printing of credit, debit, and gift card receipts.

Automatically Save/Print Credit, Debit and Gift Card Receipts Upon Approval

With this option selected (default) credit, debit, and gift card receipts are automatically saved and printed as soon as the transaction has been authorized when using the QuickBooks Desktop POS Merchant or Gift Card Services. This allows the cashier to swipe or insert a card and immediately return to servicing the customer while the approval is in process and the receipt printing. This option can be disabled, if necessary, on the Merchant and Gift Service page of company preferences.

Printing Two Copies of Credit Card Receipts

When a customer pays for a purchase with a credit card, two copies of the receipt can be printed: a signature copy for you and the customers copy.

By default, Point of Sale is configured to print two copies. However, if you use a two-ply receipt paper that prints both copies at the same time you should turn off this option, or you will end up with four copies of credit card receipts. Set this option independently for each workstation on the print options page of workstation preferences.

Pause Between Printing to Allow Tearing Off Printed Receipts

By default, Point of Sale is configured to pause briefly after the first copy of a credit card receipt prints so you have time to tear it off before the second copy starts printing. If your receipt printer auto-cuts receipts, you can turn off this option independently for each workstation on the print options page of workstation preferences.
