Greetings!

Version 3.0.3 is out, and we're going to review the changes in this issue.  In addition, ExtremePOS Enterprise is available; contact sales for details!
Before You Update 

Before you apply the update to version 3.0.3.0, you need to make certain you are on SQL server version 10.0 or higher.  This is the version that has been installed with all installs since July 2010, and many of you have already been updated, but you may contact us to have us check that you are on the current version if you wish.
Email Receipt       

With version 3.0.3.0 of ExtremePOS, Musicware and Praiz we've added the option to have receipts emailed to customers.  To do this, you will first need to configure your email server with your account (information for this can be retrieved from your email provider.)

First, from the invoice screen go to tools, then to options, then to internet features.  Hit Email Settings, and you'll get the configuration screen.

Plug in your settings, and at the bottom you can set whether to send the receipt.

Email receipts will only be sent if the customer who is selected for an invoice has an email address set in the customers menu.

Additionally, you may send a copy of any past invoice number to any email address through the menu.  Simply go to view -> invoices -> email previous invoice and enter the invoice number and the address to which to send it.
New Feature Tutorials 

 Keep an eye out on our Youtube site!  The first batch of video tutorials for Enterprise and for 3.0 features are already available, and more are coming soon.  Subscribing to our feed can let you know when new videos are available.
New Discount Card Features         

A few changes to discount cards have been implemented for version 3.0.  These allow for the cards to be used more easily without having the card there, and for automated renewal of expired discount cards.

To apply a card for a customer that does not have the card with them, first select the customer for the invoice.  Hit "Details" in the customer section of the invoice screen, and this will bring up the customer details screen.  If they have a current discount card, it will be listed here, including the expiration date.

If they have a card, hit the 'apply discount card' button in the lower left-hand corner to apply it, same as scanning it would have.

To renew a card, simply scan the expired card and hit 'yes' when prompted if you wish to renew, then finish the transaction out.

For customers on an update plan, the most recent version of the software is 3.00.0003.
