Hi Ackroo Community!

Today’s update is related to the Ackroo Virtual Terminal (VT).  We’ve updated a new search method when you are trying to locate a customer’s account.  We’re introducing Search by phone number!  Feedback has been received from many clients requesting that we add more easy ways to search for customers. This update is super easy and will save you time at the checkout.  Previous to this update, you could search for your customer by:

  • Name
  • Card number
  • Batch
  • Reference #
  • VIN number (automotive-specific)
