How-to · Setting up

Pair a card reader with a till

The reader is its own device beside the till. Add it once and choose which till it sits with.

  1. Open Till sign-in and find Card terminals.
  2. Add the reader with a name your staff will recognise, such as "Counter reader", and choose who provides it.
  3. In the list of tills, choose that reader for the till it sits beside.

From then on, a card sale rung on that till is sent to that reader.

More than one reader

A till with a reader paired to it always uses that one. A browser that is not a till is asked Which reader when there are several.

Taking a reader out of service

Retire it. It is unpaired from its till, and sales already taken on it stay as they were.

The till never sees a card. The customer taps or inserts on the reader, and the reader tells the till whether it was approved.
