Contactless Transactions
Contactless Transactions
If your terminal supports contactless payment technology, you can configure the feature with the following topics:
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:
From the main screen, touch Settings.
Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.
Scroll to the Configure application section.
Touch Application options.
In the Contactless section, toggle the Contactless transactions switch to the right.
If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 5 for each additional terminal where you want to offer contactless transactions.
Select Supported Contactless Cards
Each payment processor/card brand has their own touch/tap payment technology. The terminal supports all major technologies. When you enable contactless transactions, you can select which technologies you will accept. The available technologies include:
Visa PayWave
MMCL / PayPass
Interac Flash
AMEX ExpressPay
JCB JSpeedy
Discover DPAS
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:
From the main screen, touch Settings.
Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.
Scroll to the Configure application section.
Touch Application options.
In the Contactless section, enable each desired card's contactless function by sliding the toggle switch to the right or disable a card's contactless function by sliding the toggle switch to the left.
Enabled | Disabled |
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:
From the main screen, touch Settings.
Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.
Scroll to the Configure application section.
Touch Application options.
In the Contactless section, toggle the Contactless transactions switch to the left.
If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 5 for each additional terminal where you to disable contactless transactions.
