# Select Accepted Card Type

### Select Accepted Card Type

You can configure your terminal to accept credit cards, debit cards, or both. If you select only one type of card, the terminal will not recognize the other type. For example, if you configure the terminal to accept only debit cards, when a customer tries to pay with a credit card, the terminal will display a message that it only accepts debit cards.

#### **To set the terminal's accepted card type(s):**

1. From the main screen, touch **Settings**.

2. Enter the merchant password and touch **Confirm**.
3. Scroll to the **Configure application** section.
4. Touch **Terminal options**.
5. In the **General** section, touch **Accepted card type**.
6. On the *Accepted card type* screen, touch the desired card types to accept for payments. The options are:
   * **Credit / Debit**
   * **Credit only**
   * **Debit only**
7. If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps **1** to **6** for each additional terminal where you want to set the terminal's accepted card type.

NOTE: If you have multiple terminals, you should ensure that they are all configured to accept the same card types to avoid one terminal refusing a card type that another accepts.

# 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/payment-standalone-mode/terminal-configuration/select-accepted-card-type.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.
