Credit Card Processing
Microsoft Dynamics RMS provides the ability to directly integrating Credit Card Processing, which means you can eliminate old style countertop credit card machines and simply add a credit card (aka Mag Stripe Reader) swipe to your computer. This allows you the ability to process credit cards without the need to lease additional and expensive hardware from your Merchant Processor. It also provides added benefits by allowing a quick and accurate closing procedure at the end of day.

Barcode and Label Printing
If your business requires printing barcode labels to affix to your product, you will need a barcode printer or at minimum a laserjet printer with Avery Labels. However, please realize that using a laserjet printer to print barcode labels is only recommended if you print small numbers of labels per month. It is much more cost effective and time efficient to print a large number of labels using a dedicated Barcode Label Printer.

Barcode Scanner
Barcode scanners are recommended for quickly locating product at the point of sale. It also allows for accuracy by ensuring the correct product is being sold and the appropriate inventory is being reduced at the time of sale.

Cash Drawer
Many retailers purchase a locking cash drawer when they order a POS System. You may wish to mount your cash drawer under the countertop of your cash wrap, or if your cash wrap is being custom built you can provide your carpenter with the dimension of your new cash drawer and have it "embedded" within the counter.

Receipt Printer
A receipt printer is necessary to provide your customer with an itemized receipt of the sale as well as the credit card transaction. In some cases, you may wish to print to an 8.5" x 11" printer, however, most retailers wish to print onto a smaller receipt, which is 3.18" in width. These are the typical receipts you find at most retail locations.

Battery Backup
A battery backup combines the benefit of a surge protector along with the ability to keep your computer up in the event of a power failure -- long enough for the software that comes with the battery to gracefully shut down the computer and its applications. A battery backup generally costs $100 or less, and can be well worth the money when you compare it to the cost of reloading crashed computers.
