# Switch to Standalone Mode

### Switch to Standalone Mode

If you experience issues with the third party payment application, you can temporarily switch from using the App to app module to Secure Payment's standalone payment mode. This mode allows you to process transactions directly on the terminal.

#### **To switch from App to app to standalone payment mode:**

1. Close the third party payment application if it is still open.
2. If the App to app main screen does not appear, touch the Secure Payment icon on the terminal's main screen.
3. From the App to app main screen, touch the **Menu** button.<br>

5. Scroll to the **Semi-integrated configuration** section and touch Switch to Standalone.<br>

### Switch Back from Standalone Payment Mode

If you switched from using the App to app module to Secure Payment's standalone payment mode, you need to switch back when the communication issue with the 3rd party payment application is resolved.

#### **To switch from standalone payment mode back to app to app:**

1. From the standalone payment main screen, touch the **Settings** button.<br>
