Release 5.0 History

Release 5.0.1 Build (BETA-1) NS Bundle 5.0.1, SF Package 4.37

  1. Initial BETA Release

New in Release 5.0.1

Exchanges

Exchanges are advantageous to a retailer because it results in smaller credit card fees, avoids a forced return to cash/gift card (current workaround) and is overall simpler.  Additionally, Exchanges reduce the dependency server side (return to gift cards) which can significantly better the shopper experience when the NetSuite server is having issues. This feature is perfect for retailers that have a lot of returned items.


More Information (TBA)

List View

Currently, SuitePOS displays up to three rows of item text under each item/category tile. It then auto reduces accordingly.  Long text, common in wine & spirits, shrinks too much can make selecting the correct one difficult. You can now toggle your item selection from tiles to a list view.


More Information (TBA)

Promotion Saved Item Searches

Currently, automatic item level promotions are multi-select from a list of items. This is good for simpler more clearly defined groups of items but does not work well for more complex and larger groups of items. 

Promotion Saved Item Searches allows you now to include item level promotions that include items from a saved item search. This makes things a lot easier and more flexible.  

More Information (TBA)

Square Mobile Payments SDK

Square Reader SDK is being deprecated at the end of 2025. The Square Mobile Payments SDK is now used moving forward and supports the later versions of iOS and Square test environments. This reduces API calls and facilitates better future integrations into Square features. In addition, SuitePOS Unlimited is now available for those using the Square Reader as opposed to being available for only Square Terminal and Stripe.

More information (TBA)

Failed Queue Alert

To be more proactive when posting errors occur, a red bar is now displayed in the POS when there are errors in the Failed Queue. This should better facilitate proactive reporting. 

More Information (TBA)

Total Cash Setting for Open/Close Shifts

Some retailers don't want to count each specific tender method on a open/close drawer at the POS. International Customers can't use the USD tenders we offer either.  Instead, they prefer to count coins and bills as a total.

More Information (TBA)

Custom Payment Method

Retailers may accept 3rd party vouchers, have a need to accommodate various return scenarios, and/or accommodate non-integrated credit card payments (when an outage and/or using a 3rd party system for payment/refund) to keep it segregated from other methods. A Custom Payment Method allows this.

Remove Redundant Stripe Fields

With the newer Stripe SDK, some redundant Stripe fields have been removed from the POS Settings record. 

Various Minor Bug Fixes

Such as minor Failed Queue lockups under certain circumstances, customer price level not horored if an item has a price group assigned and various other minor bugs.
