Te act of a customer shopping in a brick and mortar store, then paying for their merchandise at that location is still relevant, but is rapidly being joined by other more flexible options such as Internet sales, area kiosks, telephone sales, and even trade shows and sidewalk sales. As a result, salespeople are no longer tied to a cash register and are free to do what they were hired to do: sell. Tis flexibility, along with the need to tie kiosk sales, multiple store locations, or web sales to back office accounting soſtware has posed a problem, particu- larly for smaller retailers, who have oſten spent many hours reconciling off-site, Internet, and telephone sales to their existing AR. That reconciliation just got a lot easier with the latest functionality added to the Sage Exchange payments platform from Sage North America.
