Payment terminals

Associate a payment terminal with a computer

Navigate to admin>payment terminals.

You will see a list of payment terminals "providers".

If you click in one of the providers, Ingenico in this example, you will see a list of terminals configured for that provider

If there is a terminal already associated to your computer you will see a green associated tab on the row.

If you want to associated another terminal you can click the Associate button instead (It will show in the same place the associated label shows).

Once a terminal is associated to a machine you should see the Pinpad ip or the Square ID at the bottom of the profile menu.

One Square terminal associated to multiple computers (NOT RECOMMENDED)

You can have more than one computer associated to the same Terminal but this is NOT RECOMMENDED.

If you decide to do so, be aware that payment requests will be processed in the Square terminal as they are received. So two different computers may send the payment at the same time to the terminal and one payment will wait until the previous one is processed. Careful because the second payment will be in the screen as soon as the first one is processed, regardless if it's successful or not.

Once Cardpointe terminal associated to multiple computers (NOT RECOMMENDED)

You can have more than one computer associated to the same Terminal but this is NOT RECOMMENDED.

If you decide to do so, be aware that payment requests will be processed in the Cardpointe terminal as they are received. So two different computers may send the payment at the same time to the terminal, the first payment will be processed, the second one will fail and you will have to wait until the terminal is free to use.

Associate a Cardpointe terminal to a computer.

Turn on your Cardpointe terminal and make sure the terminal shows as BOLTED.

• If the terminal show UNBOLTED make sure the termninal is connecting to the internet, check details on Cardpointe documentation or contact your Cardpointe representative.

If it works you will see ping succesful message.

If it fails you will see a "No connected" message.

Force and reset terminal

In some cases a terminal may be unresponsive or remain connected to a machine that is out of service. This will mean that you will not be able to process payments.

You can click the Reset button to force the terminal to disconnect from the API and be available.

Connect to internet and basic setup

Create a device code

In the payment terminals "providers" list click in Square.

In the main screen (if it's the first time) you will have an empty state and you will have to create the first payment terminal.

If is not the first time, you can still use the upper right corner add new button.

The create screen only has two fields, a list of locations (as defined in your Square dashboard) and a text field to enter a name for the terminal.

We recommend you create as many Locations as you need in the Square Dashboard. It will help to identify where the Terminals are in your company. You can also create non-physical locations if needed.

Once you select a location and enter a descriptive name for the terminal click the Create button.

If the configuration of the Square payment is correct. You should see now a new Device code.

• The code expires in 5 minutes, so make sure to use it in time.

Connect to Betterez

You should now associate the terminal to the right computer

If you don't use the code and the code expires, you will not see it in the list. -info You can't associate a terminal until is PAIRED (that means the device code was used to sign into a terminal)

Deleting and Square payment terminal

The only way to logout of a device is to "deactivate" the code from the Square dashboard.

Click in the menu at the right of the device code to disable. In the contextual menu click the "Deactivate" link.

Deactivating the code will "logout" the terminal associated to the code and you will not be able to receive payments on that terminal until you re-pair the terminal with a new code.

The Ingenico terminals will connect with betterez using a web socket and that means that the betterez application needs to know the IP address of the terminal and a protocol to use to connect.

The protocol can be one of two options ws or wss if your terminals have WSS (Secure web socket) enable you should select WSS, if not you can still use WS, but you will have to Configure your browser to allow ws connections over https
