How-to · Setting up

Add a Lane terminal

A Lane on the counter takes the card on its own screen. Type the code it shows, and Sparto registers it with SpartoPay.

A SpartoPay cloud terminal, such as a Lane, sits on the counter on its own Wi-Fi or cable. Sparto sends it each card sale through SpartoPay, and it takes the card and, if you like, the tip.

Before you start

Set up Card processing under Setup with SpartoPay and the location's key. The Lane uses the same key.

Plug the Lane in and connect it to the internet. While it waits to be registered, it shows a short code that changes every few minutes.

Add it

1. Open Counters and tap Add a device, then Payment terminal, and choose the counter.
2. Name it, such as "Front Lane".
3. Set Provider to SpartoPay cloud terminal (Lane).
4. Type the code from the Lane's screen under Code on the terminal's screen.
5. Tap Add it to the counter.

Sparto registers it with SpartoPay, and the Lane shows its name. If the code had changed, type the new one.

The tip

To have the Lane ask the customer for the tip, tap Change on the counter's Card reader line and tick Asks for the tip itself. It offers the tip choices set under Permissions. Otherwise a Customer Display asks, if the counter has one.

Taking it out of service

Retire it on Counters. Sparto frees it at SpartoPay, so it can be registered again, here or elsewhere, with a new code.
