About EMV receipt compliance

Sales Overview | Receipt Fields

EMV is a new US credit card payment standard meant to make credit transactions more secure.  "EMV" stands for Europay, MasterCard, and Visa - the developers of this standard.

EMV cards feature smart chips which encrypt data for every sale, making card transactions more secure.  These cards are designed to be inserted into the reader and remain in place throughout the entire transaction.

Along with this change, there are new industry standards for the information contained on receipts.  The default 40 column and Letter receipt templates are EMV compliant.  If you use a modified template, make sure to add the fields required for EMV compliance.

• Body Header:

• • Transaction Date & Time
