Help and Training Tools

The Secure Payment application's payment module includes tools for training and user assistance. These include:


Training Mode

The terminal has a training mode that allows users to process transactions in a simulated environment allowing them to learn and understand the terminal’s various functions. When in training mode, the terminal does not communicate with the server, and it functions even when the terminal has no network connection. The available options for training mode are:


Enable Training Mode

When you enable training mode, the terminal does not process any actual transactions and has no communication with any other device, everything occurs on the terminal.

IMPORTANT! It is possible to lock a card in training mode, as some security features are stored on the card’s chip. Be cautious if you are using an actual payment card even in training mode.
