# App to App Module User Guide

#### Download the PDF&#x20;

The Secure Payment App to app module provides payment processing to merchants who use a non-PayFacto terminal payment application. The App to app module is different from the SecurePay, SecureTable, and Gateway modules as there is no communication between the Point of Sale (POS) system and the payment terminal.

Operation of the App to app module more closely resembles the Payment module in standalone mode. The merchant enters the amount of the sale on a third-party terminal application and then the App to app module receives the sale information and processes the sale using the PayFacto servers.

The interface of the third party terminal application used to enter the sale amount can be (and likely is) different from the Secure Payment interface. Any amount for tip, cashback, or fees (where applicable) is added using the Secure Payment interface, as is the prompt to present the card and the authorization server results.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.payfacto.com/payfacto-knowledge/canada-doc-center/applications/secure-payment/app-to-app-module-user-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
