  • New in Activ8 POS: Smarter Customer Insights, Transfer Notes & More

    We’re excited to roll out a fresh update to Activ8 POS, designed to make your daily operations faster, clearer, and more connected. Here’s what’s new in version 195:

    • Inventory Transfer Notes
      You can now add notes when performing inventory transfers directly in the POS. This gives your team added visibility and clarity around each movement.

    • Customer Search Enhancements
      When you search for a customer, you’ll now see both their pickup count and tasting room visit count for the current month. These are displayed as clickable buttons with helpful tooltips.

    • Improved Customer Selection Workflow
      Whether you’re starting a new order or selecting an existing customer, all related buttons are now clickable and include tooltips to guide you through the process.

    • Pending Order Search
      Quickly find pending orders with the new search functionality. This feature was introduced last month and is now fully integrated into the customer experience.

    • Bug Fixes & User Interface Improvements
      As always, this release includes various bug fixes and UI refinements to keep everything running smoothly.

    If you have any questions or feedback, our support team is here to help.

  • Activ8 Commerce and Tock Reservations

     Activ8 Commerce Tock Integration… READ MORE.

    We are excited to announce an upcoming integration with Tock’s Reservation System. Initially, we can automatically upload customers from Activ8 to your Tock account. However, our integration will soon offer more functionalities. You will be able to view your Tock reservations directly in the Activ8 Point of Sale, allowing you to accept payments for unpaid reservations and manage upcoming reservations, helping you better prepare for staffing needs.

  • Activ8 POS Version 2023.4.179 – New Release Notes

    • Splitting a check capabilities from the New Order and Pending Orders screens… READ MORE.

    This will allow you to separate a check by line items instead of just splitting the amount of the order on the Checkout screen.

    • Worldpay Cloud has been added as another Worldpay option in Activ8 POS settings. With this new integration, our customers using Worldpay as a gateway will be able to purchase and use the Lane 3000, Lane 7000, and Link 2500 (wireless) devices. These new devices will allow your customers to choose a tip directly on the credit card reader removing the need for them to choose the tip on the iPad. The larger Lane 7000 will display the items purchased in the customer’s order.
    • Our Canadian customers that have a Worldpay account can now use either the Lane 3000 or Link 2500 devices to process payments. This integration allows the ability to have the readers to display in English or French.
    • You now have the ability to send or print a receipt for swaps that result in a refund directly from the checkout screen.
    • Fixed pickup location not saving when a different location is selected than the location logged into.

    When navigating to the Pending Orders screen it will now default to showing the Shared tab instead of the Local tab.
