# 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>

### 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>

# 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/tasks-and-how-tos/switch-to-standalone-mode.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.
