4.1.1
Which transactions can I perform with a payment card?
Your payment terminal supports multiple types of transactions. The ones you can perform depend on:
•
the payment card of the cardholder;
•
the acquirer.
Please note:
contact your acquirer if you are unable to perform the transaction you want with a certain
type of payment card!
To check which transactions an acquirer allows for a payment card, you can print an acquirer parameter
report. The actions to be performed to this end are described on the next page.
