Generic Credit/Debit Payment Mode

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.
