SAM4POS Help & Support

SAM4POS support can cover sales operation, menu and item programming, printers, scanners, cash drawers, customer displays, networks, payments, reports, backups, and licensing.

Before contacting support

  • Record the terminal model and SAM4POS version.
  • Identify whether one station or every station is affected.
  • Copy the exact error message.
  • Note recent network, payment, printer, or programming changes.
  • Keep a current database backup.

Need help? Send SAM4sDirect the exact model, serial number, connected equipment, and a clear description of what you need.

SAM4POS Service Swap / Dealer Change

Use this form when an existing SAM4POS installation needs a license moved because a terminal was replaced or serviced, or the customer is being transferred to SAM4sDirect as the servicing dealer.

This is not a new software license

A normal SAM4POS software license is a lifetime license. This request is specifically for a service swap / dealer change. SAM4sDirect collects the complete request first and forwards it to CRS for processing.

Submit your request to SAM4sDirect

Complete the form below once. SAM4sDirect will receive the information, review it, add our CRS dealer information, and forward the request to CRS. You do not need to submit a second CRS form.

Station 1 License Codes
Additional Stations (if applicable)

What happens next

  1. SAM4sDirect receives your completed request.
  2. We review the details and add our CRS dealer information.
  3. SAM4sDirect forwards the service-swap request to CRS using dealer account #9998.
  4. CRS reviews and processes the actual SAM4POS license change.

SAM4sDirect does not generate or alter the SAM4POS license directly; CRS completes the final license change.

Help with a SAM4POS system you already own

You do not need to have bought the system from us.

We take paid remote support and configuration work on SAM4POS systems regardless of where the system came from. Tell us which SAM4POS terminal or system you have, what software or version information is available, what is connected to it, and what is happening. We will tell you honestly whether we can help remotely.

Support — something is not working

Choose support when the SAM4POS system, terminal, or connected hardware is not behaving correctly and you need it diagnosed.

  • The POS terminal or application is not operating correctly
  • An error message or unexpected behavior needs diagnosing
  • A printer, cash drawer, scanner, scale, payment device, or other peripheral is not responding
  • A workstation cannot complete a normal sales workflow
  • Working out whether the problem is software, configuration, network, or hardware related

Configuration & programming — something needs changing

Choose configuration or programming when the system works but setup, data, or behavior needs to change.

  • Item, PLU, department, menu, or price changes
  • Tax, receipt, employee, or terminal configuration
  • Printer, scanner, cash drawer, scale, or other peripheral setup
  • Payment or communications configuration
  • Backup, restore, workstation, or network-related setup
  • Larger SAM4POS configuration projects

What to send us so the session is productive

SAM4POS terminal or systemTerminal model, workstation role, and any system details you can identify.
Software / version contextVersion or build information if available, plus whether this affects one terminal or more than one.
What is happeningThe exact error text, symptom, or specific change you need made.
Can the system open and complete a sale?Tell us how far a normal sale gets and where it stops or behaves incorrectly.
Connected equipmentPrinters, scanners, drawers, scales, payment devices, and anything else involved.
Existing support plan?Whether you already have an active agreement with us.

Add these details in the notes at checkout, or send them first if you would rather we confirm the work is possible before you pay.

Support hours Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM Eastern, excluding holidays. We do not offer or advertise 24/7 support.
Not everything can be fixed remotelySome faults need onsite hardware work, replacement parts, networking access, or another provider. If remote work will not solve it, we will say so rather than bill for time.
Configuration is separate Configuration and programming work is distinct from troubleshooting, and is not automatically included in a support plan.
Needing help more than occasionally? If you expect several sessions in a year, an annual support plan may work out more economical than buying individual blocks of time. Compare the plan against what you are likely to use — it is not the right answer for everyone.

We can help you work through programming, supplies, support, whether the register is worth keeping, and whether it makes sense to separately review what you pay for credit card processing.
