Processing A Magnetic Swipe Payment
If a customer’s card does not have a chip then you can process the payment using the swipe function located on the
right hand side of the terminal.
Enter the amount to be charged in pence
Swipe the customer’s card with the magnetic strip on the card facing downwards towards
the terminal.
The terminal will then connect to your payment processing provider for authorisation
If the transaction has been approved an authorisation code will appear on the screen. If
the transaction has not been authorised the terminal will display Void, Declined or Call
Auth Centre
Once it has been authorised it will print off a receipt for the customer to sign. You must
retain this as your Merchant Copy
Check the signature.
Press F1 for an invalid signature
Press F2 for a valid signature
If the signatures match then the terminal will print a copy of the receipt. This must be
handed to the customer for them to retain as the Customer Copy
Once complete the terminal will return to the ‘Ready’ screen
You must only enter the Authorisation Code provided to you by the Authorisation Centre. Failure to do so
could result in the money not being paid into your account.
