What Do We Mean by a POS Terminal?
A POS (Point of Sale) terminal is the card machine you swipe, tap, or insert your card into when paying at a store or restaurant.
It’s the screen that:
processes your card payment, and
asks how you want your receipt - print, text, or email.
Whenever this machine gives you an option to receive an email receipt, you can enter your Magic Mail ID.
How Magic Mail Works When You Swipe Your Card
When you swipe, tap, or insert your card at a store or restaurant:
The card machine may ask how you want your receipt
If you see an Email receipt option
Enter your Magic Mail ID
The receipt is emailed to Magic Mail
Sage Expense Management automatically creates or updates the expense for you
Some POS machines also remember the email ID you have entered and links that with your card
Next time you swipe the same card and a POS terminal by the same operator, it might automatically send the receipt to that email ID
No photos. No uploads. No manual forwarding.
