FAQs-header-image-1

SpeedLine+ POS

I see the navigation menu at the bottom left has changed. Where’s the Logout button?
It’s been moved to the top right, next to the logged-in user’s display name.
How long does it take for new cloud settings to take effect at the store?
Up to 5 minutes. It’s not recommended to make changes to the menu or settings during the store’s business day, though.
With the settings now in the cloud, what happened to the reports that were in Store Manager?
SpeedLine+ uses the SpeedLine Cloud Analytics for reporting, which are available on the same administration website as the settings and menu.
With the menu now in the cloud, how do I configure my menu panels in Terminal?
Terminal uses the item lists and categories set up in the cloud menu to auto-generate the menu panels.
Since the settings and menu come from the cloud, what happens if my store loses its internet connection?
When the settings and menu are downloaded, local copies are kept in the store, so if it goes offline, it will continue to work with those offline settings.
Now that I no longer have the Store Manager software, where can I access my reports and menu builder?
Analytics dashboards and the menu builder are accessible at https://admin.speedlinesolutions.com. You should have been given an account on the SpeedLine Admin site already (check your email), but if not, please contact SpeedLine Support.
Can I update my Menu whenever I want and will it reflect onto SpeedDine instantly? Can I test menu changes before going live?
When you make your menu live, it’ll take effect on SpeedDine within a minute. It’s not recommended to change your menu partway through the business day; however, if you wish to test your menu before making it live. The Preview option will allow you to preview your SpeedDine site, and there is also a new option to run Web Terminal to see your preview menu in a virtual store’s Terminal.
How does remote messaging work?
Employee Messaging from the SpeedLine Admin site sends the messages into the stores, using the same method as the in-store messaging, allowing you to specify who at which stores will receive the message, whether they should confirm they read the message, or if it will expire after a certain amount of time.
Will software upgrades affect store operations?
The new automatic service will upgrade your store overnight, much like apps on your phone. Any follow-on updates, such as firmware upgrades to your PIN pads, should be fully complete by the time your store opens the next day.
What does "Getting Out of PCI Scope" mean? What are the benefits of being out of PCI DSS scope?
Because readable credit card information is neither stored nor transmitted due to Worldpay’s validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) card processing solution triPOS, both your computers and network are considered out of PCI scope. Because of this, your Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), e.g., Coalfire, will be able to evaluate your PCI status with considerably less paperwork, with SpeedLine, your computers and network being out of PCI DSS scope, that should be less work they would be billing you for, saving you money.
