Cash Drawers

Did you know that cleaning and re-greasing the cash drawer rails could help in the operation of the cash drawers?

A basic de-greaser and a clean cloth will work wonders to clean the rails. Once clean, use a “petroleum” based grease to apply on the ball-bearings in the rails. Stay away from WD-40 as this hardens over time and hinders the operation of the cash drawer.

Please note: Not all cash drawers are the same and cleaning does not guarantee improved operation.

The collaborations will continue to multiply rapidly, retail analysts say. Read full story here.

What Exactly Is the Impact of End to End Encryption on PCI DSS Compliance? - Tue, 19 January

Submitted by VeriFone

Implementing a proper end to end encryption solution should allow retailers to reduce PCI compliance scope. This does not mean that they can remove systems that are in the path of payment processing from needing to be PCI DSS compliant, but it means that they will no longer need to implement and maintain many of the required controls on those systems.
