The new version of MerchantOS is ready for you to try! We’ve upgraded the system with an even easier to use interface, faster operations, and more touch screen support.

What’s Changed

• Menus help guide you as you use the system. Less hunting for functions.

  No more guessing by selecting in the menus. The new tab styled menus tell you about each function before you click so you know you’re going to the right place the first time. As you become more familiar you can start using keyboard shortcuts.

• Keyboard shortcuts help you get the job done fast!

  As you learn to use the software, you can start to use keyboard shortcuts. For a complete list of shortcuts select the Help button in the menu. Characters that are underlined indicate you can trigger or move focus to the field by holding down the Alt key and then pressing the underlined key.

• Friendly colors and a simplified layout.

  We hope you like our new look and feel. It should make the application easier to use by drawing your attention to what’s important.

• Faster overall operation of the system

  We’ve made a number of improvements behind the scenes that will speed things up for you.

• More Support for touch screens

  You’ll notice many of our buttons are larger to accommodate your digits. This is the first phase in bringing complete support for touchscreen to the MerchantOS system.

• Improved functionality for alternative browsers (We still recommend Firefox)

  You can now safely checkup on your shop from a computer that doesn’t have Firefox. We now support all the most popular browsers: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera. For maximum performance, functionality, and viewing pleasure please stick with Firefox when possible.

• New Reports and other features added

  Number of minor features you requested have also found their way into the newest version, and we are working hard to add more every day. In the new version you’ll find a new report to show employee hours for all employees at once. All new enhancements will only be found in the new version.
