Payment Features
Overview
To meet business requirements, additional features may be used to offset costs; this is inclusive of Tipping, Cashout and Surcharge.
In addition to this, to accommodate for a range of customers, there are configurations that enable your terminal to process details without a card being presented to a terminal. These details are outlined below.
Tipping
Tipping can be enabled by contacting support and requesting this feature be turned on.
Step | Instructions |

1 | Enter the sale amount into the terminal keypad and select Enter. |
2 | Your customer will be asked if they wish to enter a tip. Customer selects Yes. |
3 | Customer enters the amount they wish to tip and selects Enter. |
4 | Request the customer to tap, swipe or insert their card. |
5 | If the cardholder has chosen to insert or swipe their card, they will be prompted to select their account. |
6 | The cardholder will be prompted to enter their PIN (if required). |
7 | Under certain circumstances (ie. customer does not enter a PIN or the card does not have a chip), a signature is required to verify whether the customer is the owner of the card. If the terminal requests you verify the customer's signature, ask the customer to sign the printed receipt. Ensure that the signature provided matches the signature on the rear of the customer's card and select 'YES'. |
8 | The transaction result is displayed on screen and a merchant receipt will be printed (if configured). Should the customer wish a copy of the receipt, select Print Customer Copy. |

Tip Amount will not be Surcharged
If surcharging has been turned on, a surcharge will only be applied to the original amount. The tip amount will not have a surcharge applied.
Cashout
Typically used in a retail environment, this feature is used if a merchant wishes to provide cash to a customer as a part of an EFTPOS transaction. When enabled (in a Standalone environment), a prompt will appear when tendering transactions that allows a merchant to specify a cashout amount.

Cashout Amount
Australian physical currency consists of 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 & $100. Therefore, any cashout amount needs to be a minimum of 5c and ends in $X.X5 or $X.X0, where X is a variable amount.
Surcharge
Surcharging allows a merchant to a add an additional amount to the purchase to cover the cost of accepting card payments. When enabled, surcharging is available when taking a card payment.
Surcharging is turned off by default, but can be enabled by contacting support and requesting this feature be turned on.
