What's New with PaymentMate

New Features and Enhancements

The latest release of PaymentMate® is version 2.1.170, and offers enhanced support for 64-bit versions of Micorosft® Windows® 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. This new release also supports the latest card and check scanners from MagTek® and Epson®, including the MagTek ImageSafe® and Epson CaptureOne™ dual-sided check scanners. The new check scanners are more secure and reliable than previous models. They scan an image of both sides of each check, so they are able to process nearly any kind of check—including personal, business, insurance, traveler's, payroll,and other checks. To process all of these kinds of checks and more, all you need is one of these card and check scanners, the latest release of PaymentMate, and the all-new TeleCheck® LockBox® Pro 21 service. (To inquire about adding TeleCheck Pro 21, contact your First Data™ or TeleCheck representative, or call us at 800.225.8979 and dial extension 3.)

New for PaymentMate Standard and Enterprise

New features for PaymentMate Standard and PaymentMate Enterprise Editions include the option of accepting batch recurring card payments. Now you can process dozens of credit card payments with one click of the button! Simply copy the information from your own spreadsheet software, paste it into PaymentMate, and you're done. Within seconds you have authorizations for all of the credit card payments. You can then export this information into your spreadsheet software for your own records.

New for PaymentMate POS and Pharmacy

New features for PaymentMate POS and PaymentMate Pharmacy Editions include enhancements to the import options. Now you can optionally choose to have PaymentMate prompt for taxable status for either new or updated inventory. When you import new sales items, you can opt to have PaymentMate ask you whether each one is taxable or non-taxable. You can have the software prompt for the taxable status during the import, or when the imported item is first scanned during a sales transaction.

Updating PaymentMate

The dedicated software programmers of the PaymentMate Research and Development team are always ready to respond to our customers' requests to enhance PaymentMate, and they frequently release updates to the software. The list that follows shows enhancements for many of the released versions of PaymentMate, as well as the supported software editions and supported computer accessories of each version. Unless otherwise stated, software updates are cumulative, and an enhancement added to an earlier version is also present in all later versions. If you see an enhancement you'd like in the following list, but you are using an earlier version of PaymentMate, you may update your software free of charge.

When to Update Your Software

You should schedule an upgrade if you are using a version earlier than the one having the enhancements you need, as show in in the list of version enhancements that follows. If you are unsure what version of PaymentMate you are currently using, open the PaymentMate software. PaymentMate displays the version and build number at the bottom, left-hand corner of the software. The first three numbers, separated by periods, are the version number; the last number is the build number. (These numbers will be the same whether you are using PaymentMate Standard Edition, PaymentMate Pharmacy Edition, PaymentMate POS Edition, or PaymentMate Enterprise Edition). If the version number is lower than the latest build in the list that follows, you may call to request an update, as explained in the next paragraph.

How to Update Your Software

There is no additional fee for those PaymentMate updates that your Software User Agreement covers. However there might be an additional cost to upgrade from one edition of PaymentMate to another. (For example, additional monthly fees might apply if you decide to upgrade from PaymentMate Standard Edition to PaymentMate Enterprise Edition.) Whether you update or upgrade your software, it takes little effort from you. All you have to do is contact the PaymentMate Helpdesk of Tempus Technologies, Inc. and schedule an automatic update. PaymentMate will then automatically download and install scheduled updates when it next closes the daily check or card batch.

Information provided includes the software editions supported by each, and the computer accessories supported by each, and the software enhancements, feature requests and bug fixes added to each version of the software.
