4 CARRYING OUT TRANSACTIONS
4.1 Overview of transaction types
Your payment terminal supports several different transaction types. However, not all transaction types
are supported by all payment cards. The acquirer and the type of payment card determine which types of
transactions you can carry out.
Important: Contact your acquirer if you are unable to carry out a transaction with a particular type of
payment card.
The table below lists the different types of transactions you can carry out, and describes the situations in
which they occur.
