When the download completes, select 'Yes' to start the installation Follow the installer directions. You can now restart the WineryPOS application. It is better to update your base terminal first. You can leave your remote terminal(s) running and connected while you update the base terminal. If you have anti-virus software running, you may need to verify that the WineryPOS application is still being allowed through the anti-virus firewall. If your remote terminal does not automatically pull the update from the base terminal, and goes into Temporary Sales mode on start-up, just check for updates on the remote terminal while in Temporary Sales mode. UPDATE IPAD INSTRUCTIONS 1. Start the App Store app on the iPad. 2. Pick your account (press on your account) , which shows all available updates. 3. Update WineryPOS END OF UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS Updates (from 5.13) in this version: 1. Winery Reporting template V27.2 - Wholesale pricing for licensees, effective July 1st, 2026 a. This template has significant changes due to pricing changes for licensees and the removal of Ontario wine/cider/bottle levies The licensee price is now calculated as markups on the landed cost, instead of a straight 10% discount of the retail price. b.

If you notice any discrepancies, please let me know. 2. Import Sales from Excel feature. a. This is a paid for feature. b. The WineryPOS software can now import sales from excel files, that you have exported from Quickbooks (or other accounting s/w). c.

Improved network connectivity if your base terminal has multiple IPs. 5. Improved remote printing support from another terminal.

Merchant terminal processing semi-integrated support. If an unknown payment type (eg Discovery card) is accepted the POS used to default this to payment type of Other, Now that can be configured (eg to Visa). 7.
