SmartCard Product Level Blocking (PLB) available though Beacon POS
Beacon POS now has the ability to handle SmartCard Product Level Blocking through certain integrated EFTPOS solutions. This is available as part of our standard solution to our Subscription Customers
How it works
The SmartCard Product Level Blocking function lets your Beacon system identify restricted items in your product range. Your POS system will identify these items and stop the sale from completing, without any need for your staff to recognise the SmartCard or remember which items are restricted.
When your Beacon POS doesn’t detect a restricted item, the sale will proceed normally.
If the Beacon POS system detects a restricted item, the PIN Pad will cancel the payment. The customer can then choose what to do, they can pay for the unrestricted items with a SmartCard and not buy the restricted items at all. Or they can pay for the restricted items with cash or a different card.
This process does not affect any other customers; only those attempting to purchase restricted items with a SmartCard.
Who can get it
Your mixed merchant business can get product level blocking if all of these apply:you accept Visa or eftposyou sell primarily non-restricted items.You can’t get it if the primary goods in your store are alcohol, tobacco, gambling services, pornography and cash-like products, prepaid cards, and some gift cards.
You don’t need it if your business only sells non-restricted items.
