# 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.
