Signature Message (Tran Types 36-01, 36-02)
Simplify supports Signature Request / Response messages from / to the POS process.
The POS system sends Simplify a Signature Request message when the POS system needs to collect a customer signature. Upon receipt of the Signature Request message a pop-up screen prompts the customer for a signature. The customer completes the signature entry (by signing or canceling).
Simplify sends a Signature Response message back to the POS system. If signature data is captured by Simplify, it will be sent to the POS in field 5000 of the Signature Response. The format of this data is three-byte ASCII.
