In the role Bercode Merchant services, menu List of Points of Acceptance, submenu New Point of Acceptance, you can add Base Data and Discounts related to the point of acceptance.
Base data:
- In the Name field, enter the name of your store (service provider’s location, webshop, etc.)!
- Present your activity, products and services with the help of even multilingual Recommendation text. Note that the recommendation text also appears in the Bercode application. Too long text can be confusing.
