@NDyer regarding the item count, the first few screens of the preview show it at the bottom, but it is not there at the end of the preview. Since it was removed with version 10.9.2 it became a real problem for us not having it. Why remove such an essential basic feature for no good reason?
Will there be a change to the cash counting in the tracking sessions? Right now when we start a tracking session and count our drawer the little box that pops up is very small and there is a weird “done” button down at the bottom of the page that seems odd and you don’t know that’s what you press to get out of the box. It would be great to have a larger normal number box pop up and when you enter the number either there should be an enter or next button to go to the next line. What is in place right now is not very user friendly and our employees have constantly been complaining.
The multi-item editing and streamlined payment process should significantly reduce transaction times. For merchants managing inventory across multiple channels, these performance improvements in search and cart building will complement automated order sync workflows nicely.
