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.

  1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

  2. Scroll to the Configure application section.

  3. Touch Terminal options.

  4. In the General

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.

Automatic Invoice Numbering

By default, the Secure Payment application's payment module automatically assigns an invoice number for each transaction processed. You cannot process a transaction without an invoice number, which then appears on the transaction receipt.

To enable or disable the automatic invoice numbering:

  1. From the main screen, touch Settings.

  1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

  2. Scroll to the Configure application section.

Display language and Theme settings

Change Terminal Display Language

You can change the language that appears for terminal operations. The merchant language is the language used for the menus and commands and is separate from the language configured on the customer’s card. For example, your terminal’s merchant language could be English, but when a French speaking customer uses their card, the instructions appear in French.

Customer Payment Method Selection

Customer Payment Method Selection

You can configure the terminal to ask the customer if they want to pay with cash or with a card. When you enable the cash or card question, the operator enters the amount of the sale before passing the terminal to the customer. The customer then touches the payment method they want to use to continue the transaction.

By default, the cash or card question is disabled.

Test Network Connection

Test Network Connection

The Secure Payment application's payment module works with counter-top and mobile payment terminals. Many counter-top terminals use a wired (Ethernet) network connection but many also use a wireless (Wi-Fi) as a backup connection. Mobile terminals will connect to Wi-Fi and/or mobile (cellular) networks.

If the terminal is taking longer than expected to process transactions, you may want to check the terminal's network connection to ensure that everything is working correctly.

    2. If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 8 for each additional terminal where you have enabled the automatic terminal reboot and need to set the reboot time.

    Automatic Report Printing

    The Secure Payment application's payment module performs a settlement of all the business day's transactions automatically at the end of your business day, also known as closing the batch of transactions. This consollidates all your sales and reimbursement transactions and begins the funding process, which enables you to receive your funds in your merchant bank account with as little delay as possible.

    After the settlement completes, you have the choice of whether to have the terminal print a report that provides visibility on your day's transactions. The following topics explain how to configure the automatic printing of reports:

    • Enable Automatic Report Printing

    • Select Automatic Report Printing Time


    Enable Automatic Report Printing

    When the terminal settles the day's batch of transactions, you can choose to have the terminal print a detailed or summary transaction report. You can also choose to not have the terminal print any reports, but this may make it more difficult to compare your sales with the deposits in your merchant bank account.

    By default, the automatic printing of a summary transaction report is enabled on the terminal.

    1. From the main screen, touch Settings.

    Select Automatic Report Printing Time

    When you enable the automatic printing of transaction reports, you can choose the time when the report prints. By default, the automatic report printing occurs at 7:00 PM eastern time. If your business day ends later than 7:00PM eastern, you can adjust the time for the printing of the transaction report(s).

    NOTE: When you set a time for automatic report printing, make sure it does not conflict with the terminal reboot time if you've enabled that function.

    To adjust the time when the terminal prints the transaction report(s):

    1. From the main screen, touch Settings.

    2. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

    3. Scroll to the Configure application section.

    NOTE: Be aware that the time you select is set to the eastern time zone. If you operate in a different time zone, adjust the auto-print time (as needed) to correspond with your time zone.

    1. On the Auto-print time screen, set the hour and minute when you want the terminal to print the transaction report(s).

    NOTE: When entering the time, please make sure to use a 24 hour (military) time value for the Hour field. There is no AM or PM selection.

    1. Touch the Confirm button.

    2. If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 8 for each additional terminal where you want to print a report automatically.


    Select Report to Print Automatically

    Contactless Transactions

    Contactless Transactions

    If your terminal supports contactless payment technology, you can configure the feature with the following topics:

    • Enable Contactless Transactions


    Enable Contactless Transactions

    Most modern payment terminals support and accept payment cards that use contactless technology, where you present or "tap" the card on the reader to transmit the card information. By default, contactless transactions (sales and refunds) are enabled on the terminal.

    To enable contactless transactions on your terminal:

    1. From the main screen, touch Settings.

    1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

    2. Scroll to the Configure application section.

    3. Touch Application options.

    • Visa PayWave

    • MMCL / PayPass

    • Interac Flash

    • AMEX ExpressPay

    TIP: As a security measure, we recommend that you disable any contactless technology you do not accept; this will prevent a client from attempting to use a card from a payment processor or brand you do not have an agreement with.

    To enable or disable contactless card technologies on the terminal:

    1. From the main screen, touch Settings.

    1. Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.

    1. If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 5 for each additional terminal to configure its supported contactless technologies.

    NOTE: If you have multiple terminals, you should ensure that they are all configured to accept the same contactless cards to avoid one terminal accepting (or refusing) different contactless cards from the other terminal(s).


    Disable Contactless Transactions

    If desired, you can disable contactless transactions if you do not want to offer this option to your customers.

    To disable contactless transactions on your terminal:

    1. From the main screen, touch Settings.
