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.
