Product description
4.1 Means of payment
The CWT Compact terminals support different means of payment and a number of
payment applications.
Payment applications
Currently the CWT Compact offers:
1. pre-payment, that is, the user pays in advance and receives a ticket
A special pre-payment application is Code Payment which requires that the
user enters a code or number, for instance a license plate number. The user
pays at the terminal using an available payment option.
2. Post-payment, that is, the user pays afterwards for the time used and receives
a ticket depending on the configuration.
The user checks in on the terminal on arrival with her credit or fleet card and
checks out and pays when she leaves. All steps of this process can be
followed in the WebOffice Post Payment menu. The feature is licensed.
Payment methods
The card and coin payment systems work independently of each other. Should
one payment unit be out of order for some reason, the other payment unit will
remain operable. A message in the display informs the customer about available
payment methods.
Cards
CWT Compact terminals offer the possibility to pay with credit/debit magnetic
stripe cards, smart cards (chip cards), contact less cards, and hybrid cards using
various card reader configurations.
The standard card reader in CWT Compact is a hybrid reader capable of reading
all track-2 ISO payment magstripe cards (common credit/debit cards) and ISO
smart cards (chip cards). The reader requires manual card insertion and retraction
of the card which enables the customer to remove the card if the terminal or
transaction fails. It is also possible to install card reader solutions to be used with
certain chip card applications, such as EMV2. The reader automatically detects if
an inserted card is a magnetic card or a chip only card and the card functions are
adapted accordingly.
To verify that a card is valid, the card number is evaluated according to prescribed
rules before being checked against a blacklist containing non-valid card numbers.
