Performing Transactions
In order to perform a transaction in a quick and efficient manner you
may type in the transaction amount from the idle screen. This method
may be used to start any sale transaction, regardless of card type is (i.e.
contactless cards or cards with, or without, a chip).
Enter the transaction amount while the idle screen is being displayed by
typing in the amount in pence (i.e.
1234
for £12.34) followed by the
enter
key. If you make a mistake when entering the amount you can
correct this by using the correction keys. Press the
clear
key once to
delete one character at a time. Press the
cancel
key to cancel the
amount entry and return to the idle screen.
Contactless card transactions are performed by this method and when
the transaction value is under the contactless card limit (e.g. £30.00).
Your terminal will only prompt for a card to be presented
when a contactless transaction is allowed. When a
contactless transaction is allowed your terminal will show a
contactless symbol on the screen.
Contactless transactions that are above a pre-set value (Floor Limit)
may go online/dial for authorisation.
If you consistently sell an item at the same price you can
‘
recall
’
the last
transaction amount by pressing the
dot
key while the idle screen is
being displayed. Your terminal will allow you to confirm if this is the
correct amount, and you can continue with the transaction by pressing
the
enter
key.
Alternatively the traditional method of starting the transaction by swiping
or inserting the card first may be utilised if required.
