Installation Process Overview
Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Install Java for Windows
Install the RTI-SIPA Plugin
he STPISecure Installer, the STPISecure client software for SecureTable and the RTI-SIPA plugin for SecurePay requires the installation of Java for Windows software. This can be downloaded and installed for free from Oracle’s Java website, Here.
Please download and install the latest version of Java for Windows for your specific Windows edition (32-bit or 64-bit)
NOTE: Please consult Oracle's Java website for detailed licensing conditions and support.
This document will cover the configuration required to operate SecurePay with integration to POS systems through the Retail Terminal Interface for Semi-Integrated Payment Applications (RTI-SIPA) plugin.
The SecurePay Android application is a bi-directional interface which links the PayFacto payment application to a POS system such as Maitre'D or Veloce. SecurePay automates some operations which previously had to be carried out by the clerk, such as the entry of the sales amount and card brand selection. SecurePay is especially well-suited to quick service environments and drive-through windows, with or without tip management.
The RTI-SIPA plugin is part of the STPISecure installer package and can be installed as a standalone component. RTI-SIPA's main purpose is to link the POS system and its POS workstations to the SecurePay application which resides on each payment terminal. This plugin will be installed on the POS system's main back-office PC as well as each POS workstation where a payment terminal will be used.
The integration of SecurePay with various POS systems allows the payment terminal to retrieve guest check data from the POS System. Once a payment has been processed by the payment terminal, SecurePay sends the payment data back to the POS System for reporting purposes. Payment amounts, tip amounts and card brand used are all automatically transmitted to the POS system to allow for accurate reporting.
SecureTable and SecurePay can both be used on the same POS system. This allows merchants to use any combination of stationary Pay-at-the-Counter terminals and wireless Pay-at-the-Table terminals. SecureTable and SecurePay share a similar user interface which provides a consistent user experience for customers and employees.

Main Media Type for SecurePay
With semi-integrated protocols such as SecurePay, a main media type is required to start processing any card payment. The purpose of this media type is to activate the payment terminal and initiate the transaction process.
IMPORTANT! The media type described here is essential to process card payments. While it is technically possible to process card payments without any additional media types configured, media types known as "mappings" are required to generate accurate reporting data for each card brand accepted by the merchant. See Media Type Mappings for SecurePay for more details.
Logon to the Maitre’D Back-Office with appropriate credentials. (Distributor or System Owner)
Start the Point of Sale Control Module.
Click the Payments menu, and select the Media Types… option.
The list of all current media types will be displayed. Click the Add button.
A blank Media Type window will open directly on the Media Type branch. Configure according to the information below:
Media Type ID #
The Media Type ID number is automatically determined by Maitre’D when the Media Type is created. Maitre’D will always use the lowest available number between #2 and #23 inclusively.
Description
Enter a meaningful description for this media type. This should be as generic as possible, as the sole purpose of this media type is to initiate a card payment with any card brand. A common name used for this media type is simply CREDIT/DEBIT.
Payment Type
Select the External Pinpad option from the drop-down list.
Payment Surplus
Select Tip Entry if the merchant accepts tips for servers.
Select NULL if the merchant does not accept tips.
Configure remaining options per the customer’s needs and preferences.

Tips Credit Fees
Enter the percentage of tips paid to the waiters that will be withheld to cover for fees charged by payment processors. If you do not wish to use this feature, leave it at 0.00.
NOTE: Some jurisdictions don't allow transaction or credit card processing fees to be passed down to employees. Please verify your local regulations before using this feature.
Electronic Funds Transfer
Disable this option. This option needs to be disabled on the main EMV Credit media type. Leaving it enabled will cause unwanted effects.
Hide Card Number
Disable this option. This option needs to be disabled on the main EMV Credit media type. Leaving it enabled will cause unwanted effects.
Show on Merchant Copy
Disable this option. It should be grayed-out anyways.
Credit Only
This option is not usable (grayed-out) with most EFT protocols. It is only used with the Datacap - DSIEMVUS semi-integrated protocols to allow Pre-Authorization and PreAuth Capture with select processors that support this feature.
Validation
Disable this option. Validation is only used with fully integrated EFT protocols and has no effect with semi-integrated protocols such as SecureTable or SecurePay.
Expiration
Disable this option. This option automatically becomes enabled when Electronic Funds Transfer is enabled. Make sure to DISABLE it. Otherwise, the POS will request the credit card’s expiration date, which will slow down your operations. This information is already checked by the payment terminal and does not need to be re-validated by the POS.
Debit Card
Disable this option. This option needs to be disabled on the main EMV Credit media type. Leaving it enabled will cause unwanted effects.

All the options in this section must be cleared. Make sure to clear the Custom Card checkbox as well as all the fields in the Card Validation section.
Click OK to save changes. The new media type will appear in the list.
Click the Close button to close this list and return to the POS Control module.
This completes the configuration of the main media type used to activate the payment terminal and initiate the transaction process.
While it is technically possible to start processing card payments right away without creating additional media types, doing so is not recommended. Without additional mappings, all card payments will report under the generic media type. This means that data and statistics for each card brand will not be available, therefore you will not be able to differentiate Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Debit or any other type of card payment.
Each payment terminal using SecurePay needs to be assigned to a POS Workstation. Note that each POS workstation can only drive one payment terminal, therefore the number of payment terminals using SecurePay shouldn't exceed the number of POS workstations.
The following procedure is required to assign a specific payment terminal to a specific POS workstation in Maitre'D.
Logon to the Maitre’D Back-Office with appropriate credentials. (Distributor or System Owner)
Start the Point of Sale Control Module.

Default Automatic EFT
Enter the default amount to be used for authorization when opening a bar tab with a credit card. This amount is also used as an increment value if the total of items already ordered is higher than the default amount. For example, if the default value is $25.00, Maitre'D will increment the suggested amount by $25.00 slices, going from $25.00 to $50.00 and then to $75.00 and so on, as needed to cover the current amount of the running tab.
Single Auto EFT Pre-Autho.
Enable this option to modify and re-use the existing pre-athorization when the authorized amount is exceeded. Disabling this option will cause a new pre-authorization to be processed every time the authorized amount is exceeded, which requires the card to be re-swiped. Some payment processors don't allow existing pre-authorizations to be modified while others may explicitly require it, so please check with your processor whether you should enable or disable this option.

The .NET Framework (pronounced as "dot net") is a software framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.5 Service Pack 1 is required before the STPISecure installer can be used to install the STPISecure client or other components, such as the RTI-SIPA plugin.
On Windows 10, starting with version 1809, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is included as a standard Windows feature and enabled by default. However, older versions of Windows 10, Enterprise or IoT editions, could be missing this essential component. Here is the procedure to check whether .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is installed and how to enable it on Windows 10:
Click on the Windows 10 Start button and type Control Panel.
The Control Panel app should appear as a search result. Click on Open.
Within the Control Panel app, click on Programs.
Under Programs and Features, select Turn Windows features on or off.
The Windows Features list will appear.
Look for the feature called .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0).
a. If this feature is not listed, install .NET Framework manually. (See below)
b. If you see a black square in this checkbox, .NET Framework 3.5 is already enabled and no further action is required.
c. If the checkbox is blank, enable it.
NOTE: The black square in the check box means that the feature itself is enabled, but that some optional components are disabled. The optional components are not required for STPISecure or RTI-SIPA, so leave them disabled.
Click OK on the Windows Features list. This will close the list and apply any changes.
Files may be copied and you may be required to restart the PC.
or versions of Windows prior to Windows 10 1809, or for some older Enterprise or IoT editions, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 may need to be downloaded and installed manually.
The full installer can be obtained from the official Microsoft download site here:
Download the file and double-click it to start the installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions and restart your PC as required.
IMPORTANT! If the link provided here does not work, please use your preferred search engine and look for "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5". Be sure to download the files from the official Microsoft download site. For security reasons, please avoid non-Microsoft sources.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to change the default password as soon as possible. See for the detailed procedure.
Electronic Funds Transfer Module Setup
Assign a Payment Terminal to POS Workstation
Main Media Type For Secure Pay
Media Type Mappings for SecurePay
Generic Media Type Mapping for SecurePay
Employee Configurations
This configuration is optional for most merchants. Before proceeding, make sure that the main media type and individual media type mappings are created for each accepted card brand.
A generic media type mapping may be required to cover the rare cases where a customer may pay with a card that is accepted by the merchant, but not already configured as a mapping in Maitre'D media types. If a dedicated media type mapping does not already exist, the payment would be recorded against the main media type, generally called "CREDIT/DEBIT". The goal of the generic mapping is to have such payments recorded against a media type with a more meaningful name, something like "Other Card Payment" for instance.
NOTE: SecureTable and SecurePay can be used at the same time on the same POS system. Therefore, the merchant can have any combination of stationary terminals using SecurePay and mobile terminals using SecureTable. Both types of terminals will share the same generic media type mapping.

If this option is disabled, the tip confirmation screen will be skipped when selecting a tip preset or the NO TIP option. If using custom $ or custom % with this option disabled, the tip amount, percentages and resulting totals will be updated in real-time as the customer types the numbers in, but no additional confirmation screen will be presented before the actual payment.
Auto Start
Enable this option to have the SecurePay application start automatically when powering on the payment terminal.
Request Preauth Before Void
This option is used to determine the behaviour of incremental preauthorizations for bar tabs, when the sale amount exceeds the original preauth amount.
When this option is enabled, a new preauth request will be processed before voiding the old one. The advantage is that the merchant will know for sure that the new preauth is approved before voiding the old one. However, there is a risk that the new preauth could be declined, due to the card's credit limit being exceeded, as both preauths will coexist until the original preauth is voided.
When this option is disabled, the original preauth will be voided before the request for the new preauth is made. With this method, the risk of getting a decline is somewhat lower, but still exists nonetheless. As the new preauth amount is generally higher than the original preauth amount, it could potentially exceed the card's credit limit.
Exit Password Required
With this option enabled, the SecurePay application will request the settings password before closing.
Currency
Select the default currency for your region. Supported currencies are:
Canadian Dollar (CAD ($))
United States Dollar (USD ($))
United Kingdom Pound (GBP (£))
European Union Euro (EUR (€))
Australian Dollar (AUD ($))
Enable this option to allow users to access and print the Detailed Report and Summary Report from the No-password menu. If this option is disabled, the reports can still be printed from the FUNCTIONS menu, which requires the settings password.
Enable this option to activate the Reprint Receipt option in the No-password menu. If this option is disabled, the receipts can still be reprinted from the FUNCTIONS menu, which requires the settings password.
Upload Logs

Allow App Reboot
Enable this option to allow the SecurePay application to restart itself. Note that this only re-initializes the application, and does not involve a full terminal reboot.

Being specifically designed with the Hospitality industry in mind, tip management is an integral part of SecurePay. This section focuses on the various options available in SecurePay to facilitate tip management.
Tip options are found in SecurePay's . Here is a summary of available tip options:
Tip
Enable this option to have the SecurePay application prompt for tip entry. Disable this option to prevent tip entry. Disabling this option will also hide all the tip-related options below.
Tip Preset (Select percentages)
Configure preset tip percentages that the customer will see when prompted for tip. Up to 3 presets can be configured. If you do not wish to use all of them, presets that are set to 0% will not be displayed to the customer.
Tip Preset Text Size
Select the text size used to display preset tip percentages. Available choices are Normal, Medium and Large.
Tip Threshold
Enter the maximum allowed tip percentage. Any tip amount that exceeds this percentage will require the settings password to be entered. Setting the percentage to 0% disables the tip threshold validation.
Enable Confirmation
Enable this option to present a dedicated tip confirmation screen for the customer. If this option is disabled, the tip confirmation screen will be skipped when selecting a tip preset or the NO TIP option. If using custom $ or custom % with this option disabled, the tip amount, percentages and resulting totals will be updated in real-time as the customer types the numbers in, but no additional confirmation screen will be presented before the actual payment.
Tip presets are used to simplify and speed up the tipping process by allowing customers to select between pre-calculated tip percentages that are commonly used. Any percentage can be configured, but they need to be realistic for the market in which the terminal is used.
Up to 3 tip presets can be configured.
Presets configured at 0% are not displayed.
The space used by each preset button is automatically adjusted to fit the width of the screen, as demonstrated in screenshots below.
The Tip Preset Text Size drop-down allows you to change the font size used to display percentages and amounts in each tip preset. The screenshots below illustrate each available size.
Normal
Medium
Large
The Tip Threshold is a control measure to prevent accidental over-tipping. If the tip amount exceeds the set threshold, SecurePay will request the administrator password before applying the tip.
IMPORTANT! Be sure to carefully evaluate how tips work in the establishment before setting this value. With low value items, the threshold percentage can be exceeded very quickly. For example, buying a water bottle for $2.00 and leaving $1.00 as a tip is already 50% in tip value.
Tip amount is higher than 30% threshold
The tip confirmation screen is an extra step which allows the customer to review the details of the payment in a clear, minimalist display, without any other distractions on the terminal screen.
Add tip
Confirmation screen
Payment
If tip confirmation is disabled, the confirmation screen is skipped and the terminal proceeds directly to the payment. If the customer notices a mistake once the payment process is started, the transaction needs to be canceled at the payment application which will bring the customer back to the tip calculation screen.

After the Retail Terminal Interface for Semi-Integrated Payment Application (RTI-SIPA) plugin has been installed, configured and running properly on the POS system's Back-Office and POS workstations, make sure that all payment terminals are properly configured so they can communicate with the POS system and the Internet. Android payment terminals are generally shipped with all the necessary applications pre-installed by PayFacto, including the latest version of SecurePay and the latest version of the Payment application. If the SecurePay application appears to be missing, install it using the instructions below.
The instructions below were created using the PAX A920 and PAX A80 Android-based Payment terminals and the PAX store. However, the instructions are the same for all Android-based payment terminals, such as other models offered by PAX, AMP terminals or Clover Flex. For brands other than PAX, the mechanism they use to install apps may look different, but the general principle should remain the same.

This section will cover the general workflow that users and customers will see when using SecurePay. The workflow will vary slightly based on the SecurePay application's configuration.
With SecurePay, the payment process is always initiated by the POS system. SecurePay cannot be used to initiate a payment directly at the payment terminal.
If you need assistance with the functions of your POS system, please consult the documentation specific to the POS system you are using. Generally speaking, the following operations need to be carried out at the POS before a payment can be applied:
Ring / order sales items.
Print a check.
Select a payment type.
In most POS systems, selecting the payment type that is assigned to card payments will initiate the transaction process on the payment terminal.
f the Tip option is enabled in the SecurePay application settings, the tip calculation screen will be displayed.
When the Tip calculation screen appears, the payment terminal needs to be turned towards the customer. The customer has the following options:
Select one of the pre-set percentages;
Enter a custom dollar amount;
Enter a custom percentage;
Leave no tip at all.
Bill Amount
This section shows the total amount to be paid.
Add a Tip
In this section, the tip presets configured in the Tip Preset Percentages in SecurePay's advanced settings are displayed. Each percentage box also indicates the corresponding dollar amount.
Touching a preset automatically adds the stated tip amount to the transaction.
$
Touch the $ button to enter a custom dollar amount as tip instead of using a preset.
%
Touch the % button to enter a custom percentage of tip instead of using a preset.
NO TIP
Touch this button to skip the tip entry process altogether and leave no tip.
The screen below only appears if the customer touches the $ button to enter a custom tip amount.
The customer uses the provided keypad to enter a tip amount, which will make the green CONFIRM button available.
The customer can use the backspace key to correct typing mistakes.
When ready, the customer presses the green CONFIRM button.
NOTE: On devices equipped with a physical keypad, the on-screen keypad will not be displayed. The physical keypad buttons will be used instead.
If the Enable Confirmation option is enabled in the SecurePay application settings, the tip confirmation screen will appear. This is the last confirmation before the actual payment.
Total amount
This is the total amount to be paid, which is calculated from the check amount plus tip amount.
Bill Amount
This is the amount that was passed from the POS system. It is also known as the Check amount or Invoice amount, depending on the terminology used by the POS system.
Tips (__%)
This field displays the tip amount added. The percentage between parenthesis is calculated from the Bill amount vs. tip amount, and is always rounded to the nearest percentage point.
CONFIRM & PAY
Touch this button to proceed with the actual payment.
CANCEL
Touch this button to cancel the transaction and return to the home screen to start over. A confirmation screen will be displayed before actually cancelling the operation.
At this point, SecurePay will call the payment application installed on the payment terminal. The prompts that the customer will see will depend on the payment application used and the card type used. For more information on this specific part of the workflow, please consult your payment application's documentation.
BroadPOS Payment Process
After the payment has been authorized by the payment application, the payment data will be sent to the POS system. Note that only non-sensitive data is exchanged between SecurePay and the POS system.
Once this is done, the application will return to its home screen.
The payment workflow with SecurePay is now complete, and the application is ready to process the next payment.
