Setting Reference
Setting | Description |
Display Name | Controls how customer names are displayed throughout Sharper. First Last (default) or Last, First. |
Customer Balance | Controls how customer balances are shown. Balance By Customer/Outlet shows balances per outlet. Balance By Customer shows a combined balance across all outlets. |
Default Payment Type | When enabled, a customer's credit card is automatically set as their default saved payment method when added. |

Save Pay Method All Outlets | When enabled, a saved payment method added at one outlet is available across all outlets for the same customer. |
Credit Card AVS Enabled | When enabled, Address Verification Service (AVS) checks are performed on card transactions. AVS compares the billing address provided against the address on file with the card issuer to help detect fraud. |
