It is not mandatory to configure a generic Payment mode. However, it is strongly recommended. Thanks to this configuration, the cashier does not need to ask the customer which type of card is being used for payment. This method automates the card detection process and avoids potential mistakes when selecting the card type manually.
The generic payment method is used to activate the payment terminal and start the EFT payment process.
Login to the Veloce Back-Office.
Start the Point of Sale Control module.
Select the Invoice menu and select the Payment modes... option.
Select an empty slot, ideally choosing the smallest slot number available.
The payment mode's properties will open on the Configuration tab. Settings highlighted with red arrows in the screenshot below need to be configured. Other settings are either optional or need to be left disabled.
Type a meaningful name for this payment mode, such as Debit/Credit or By Card.
Type an alternate name for this card, to be used in a second language.
Optionally, this setting can be used to assign an icon to the payment mode to make it stand out on the POS screen.
Select Tip from the drop-down list.
From the drop-down menu, select the Payment Mode into which the tips will be accumulated. For instance, if servers claim their tips from the cash in their respective floats, select CASH.

IMPORTANT! Once the generic payment mode is configured, you must configure a payment mode for each card brand accepted by the merchant. For example, if the client accepts Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Interac Debit, you must create and configure a payment mode for each card brand individually.
