GrowthZone Pay - Point of Sales

Updated

When using GrowthZone Pay, you can set up and run Point-of-Sale functionality using the StaffApp from the App Store (iOS) or the Google Play Store (Android).

Save time and receive additional convenience by connecting the mobile card reader to your Android or iOS device. Then, log in to the StaffApp and receive event registration payment at the door by swiping the attendees' credit/debit card. An automatic invoice and payment (or sales receipt) transaction is immediately created in your database. In addition to taking payment for event registration, the included Point of Sale feature will allow you to receive payment on one-off items like raffle tickets, silent auction items, and mulligans. Click here for an overview video.

  • Event registration payment using the mobile card reader immediately updates the back office with the billing transaction – no manual matching of payments later
  • Payment receipt emailed immediately after submitting payment info
  • No surcharge for mobile payment processing; same single, simple rate no matter where/how you process the card
  • Quickly and easily check-in attendees at your events 
  • Point of Sale module allows for the smooth, efficient sale of single items such as Raffle tickets, silent auction items, or Mulligans
