Please be advised that an issue occurred while processing the monthly PAR Payment Services billing for February 2026 which resulted in the billing file being submitted twice. The issue has been identified and solved.
To correct the issue, a credit for the additional billing amount will be issued and funded to your account on Friday, 3/13/2026. It is important not to reject the duplicate billing with your bank, as doing so will require and additional debit to be processed to offset the credit we are applying.
We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused. If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact our support team.
Thank you,
PAR Payment Services Support Team

Monitoring - Support for PAR POS on Legacy Windows Versions has ended. For questions or assistance, please contact your PAR representative directly.
Original notification: Effective July 31, 2025, we will no longer support PAR POS on terminals and KDS hardware running:
- Windows 10 2015 LTSB - Windows 7 - Windows 8
These versions do not support Microsoft .NET Core, which is essential for future features and integrations. Upgrading to a supported Windows version ensures uninterrupted service and access to the latest functionality, including the Brink in-store API, which provides real-time data access in-store, regardless of internet connectivity.
