Now your customer can pay by:
Chip: Insert the card into the top of the card reader (chip-side first with the front of the card facing up)
Contactless Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay: Tap the card or phone on the top of the card reader. After tapping the card onto the reader you’ll hear a beep and the 4 LEDs will light up, signaling a successful transfer
Swipe: Swipe the card through the slot at the top of the card reader, with the magnetic strip placed downwards and facing you
Next, your customer will have to authorize the transaction. This can be done by signing the screen when requested and then pressing the green tick. On your smartphone or tablet, the app will display a notification to confirm that the transaction was successful.
If you want, you can now send a receipt to your customer by entering their email address or mobile number into the corresponding field. You also have the option to print a receipt via a mobile printer or AirPrint/Google Cloud Print.
