6. Starting a Transaction
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Your terminal may be configured to start a transaction by either entering the transaction amount first or
by inserting/swiping the payment card.
If your terminal is configured to accept Contactless payments it will always expect you to enter the
transaction amount first for whichever type of transaction you are performing.
If your terminal is configured to request the card details first the customer will be required to insert
their card into the PINpad’ rather than the terminal. Once this is done, enter the transaction amount
and continue from the ‘Checking Card’ prompt for the chosen transaction type.
PLEASE NOTE: In this guide the PINpad displays are shown alongside the terminal displays so that you
know what the customer is being asked to do.
If you make a mistake, press the YELLOW button and re-enter the correct amount.
If the card is a Chip card, please see Sale (Inserting a Card) in Section 7.
If the customers card is a Contactless card and is to be used for a Contactless transaction,please see
Sale (Contactless) in Section 7.
If the customers card has been swiped, please see Sale (Card Swiped) in Section 7.
