    Hi guys,
    Im looking at a way in which card terminal purchases made can be itemized for both consumer and business.
    Is there such a way it can be done?

    You would need to connect it to a POS system for this that would have a reader connected and linked together. Most care machines cannot itemise themselves as they're fairly basic.

    Hi Mr G,
    Thanks for your reply, Thats what I thought. From what I have researched a lot of machines cannot, however I came across this online http://www.destinationcrm.com/Articles/CRM-News/CRM-Across-the-Wire/Thanx-Launches-to-Fix-Customer-Loyalty-100177.aspx

    It appears that these guys have a partnership with VISA and MasterCard however that's where my question lies..How is that purchases are itemised and tracked if no additional hardware or software is required

    Looks like a merchant can grant permission to access the merchants Visa, Mastercard, ApplePay sales records.
    Then this service, running it's 'cloud CRM' downloads this, and matches purchases with customers who have registered their phone and card with their service.
    It appears to count only purchase $ amount, not the items purchased.

    But I'm only going by a quick glance.
