INTEGRATED CONTACTLESS AND CHIP PAYMENTS

WHAT ABOUT MAGNETIC STRIPE CARDS?
Your terminal will still have the capability to process magnetic stripe
cards. If a chip enabled card is swiped, the terminal will prompt for the
card to be inserted into the chip reader. Do not attempt to force a chip
card to process as swiped.
CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS

their contactless payment method (cards, fobs, mobile phones, etc.)
on the device to submit payment account information to the terminal,
removing the need to swipe, insert or manually key.
During a sale transaction, the terminal will display the "Tap/Insert/
Swipe/Key Card" prompt and the contactless symbol. At this time,
customers with contactless-enabled payment method should touch
or "tap" them to the terminal. Your terminal will process contactless
payment transactions as if a card were swiped or inserted.
As an added security measure, transaction amounts over a pre-set
threshold will require a card swipe.
CHIP CARD TECHNOLOGY
When a customer presents a chip card, you should initiate a sale and
then pass the POS device to the customer (if you do not have an
external PIN pad). The customer inserts their card into the chip reader
at the bottom of the terminal or PIN pad, where it should remain until the
transaction completes. Your terminal will instruct the customer when to
remove their card. This ensures that the card never leaves the customer's
possession and that your business does not accept counterfeit plastics.
