Have you considered sending out a mailing to your customers for the holiday season?  There are a couple of ways you can go about this using the point of sale to help you.

 

First, you can print mailing labels within ExtremePOS on your barcode printer.  To do this, from the customer lookup (F3) screen, go to the customer you want to print a label for and hit Print Labels on the left hand side.  Uncheck the barcode option, and print the label - it will print in a mailing label format.

 

If you want to print mailing labels on a standard printer, using sheets of labels such as those manufactured by Avery, and you have Microsoft Office this is also fairly easy to do.  Go to the customer address list report, under reports -> customer -> customer address list, and select your filter criteria.

 

Hit the export report button in the upper left hand corner.  Select the file type as Microsoft Excel (Data Only).

 

After the file is saved, go into Microsoft Publisher.  Create a new document from the label template - select the label style you want, making certain it matches the model label you've purchased.  We use and recommend the Avery 5160 labels, which get you 30 to a sheet.

 

Go to the mailings menu, then select the step by step mail merge wizard from the menu.  You will then need to select Use an Existing List and browse to the file you had saved earlier.  From there, you can proceed through the wizard, following on screen instructions, to lay out the labels how you want.

 

Upon printing, you'll want to make certain you're only printing one copy of each label (use the multiple pages per sheet option), and then you'll have sheets of labels ready for your mailing.

We've had a few people ask about our plans regarding Apple Pay and regarding EMV payments.  These will be supported in the future, given that the user has appropriate hardware, but are not supported at present.
