Customer Display Screenshots and Brochure
We have created a booklet demonstrating the benefits of using the ExtremePOS Customer Display. This program is free with the purchase of the necessary hardware and ExtremePOS, Musicware, or Praiz, and can be used to show advertisements. You may view this brochure here; contact sales for more information about the hardware needed for running this useful program!

Regarding Upgrades & PCI Compliance
If you are using ExtremePOS, Musicware, or Praiz to process
credit card transactions, you will need to be aware of the following
information. If you are processing transactions outside of ExtremePOS,
Musicware, or Praiz, and not storing any credit card data within these
products, then you should check with the provider of your credit card terminal
or software for information on this topic.
Visa, MasterCard, Amex and Discover adopted the Payment Card
Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. The standard contains 12 requirements
and more detailed sub-requirements. These are detailed here: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/download.html?id=pci_dss_v1-2.pdf
As a merchant, you will need to be compliant by following
and practicing the PCI Data Security Standards.
To help our merchants meet the constantly changing PCI
requirements, we have created a new, separate payment application to handle the
processing of credit card data. This new application is PA-DSS compliant,
and is currently being validated by an authorized auditing firm named 403 Labs,
LLC. Currently, this application is available to customers to run
completely separate from the existing Extreme Software Corporation software,
and testing is taking place to provide an integrated version to offer as much
of the convenience of the old method of processing as is possible under these
new security guidelines. The integrated version will require version 2.9
of the Extreme Software Corporation software, which will be released before the
July 1st deadline for switching.
Extreme Point of Sale, Inc and Extreme Software Corporation
did not mandate this standard, so please don't shoot the messenger! We are here
to alert you!
Please contact us regarding setting up a time for the
installation of a new version to meet the software portion of the PCI
requirements. If you are unsupported, we can discuss options for your
upgrade.
