Before deploying your terminal in your business, we recommend processing a sale for a low amount (e.g. £1.00) to check the terminal has been configured correctly.
-
If you haven't done so already, open the app. By default, you will land on the "Amount" page, as shown below. If you are on a different page in the app, tap the icon in the top-left, then "Amount" to get there.
-
Enter a low amount for the test transaction, then tap "Charge" at the bottom of the screen.
-
Present the contactless payment option to the NFC point on the device.
You must obtain consent from the cardholder before processing this transaction.
Because the sale is processed in a live environment, funds will be debited from the card if the transaction is not reversed by following the instructions described later in this article. Please note that transaction fees apply and these are not returned as part of the reversal.
-
The payment is processed.
Ensure that a confirmation message is displayed on screen and a receipt is printed.
To view the receipt, scan the QR code with another smartphone or alternatively tap "Send the receipt by email" and enter your email address.
Please check that the business name, address and total amount paid are present and correct on the digital receipt.
-
Now let's reverse the transaction.
Tap the icon in the top left and from the menu select "Receipts".
-
Use the interface to find the transaction for which you wish to reverse and tap to open.
The most recent transactions are displayed at the top.

Once you have selected the transaction, you will be shown the screen below. Tap "Cancel transaction".

You'll be prompted to enter your admin username and password to proceed. Once you have entered your details, tap "Confirm" to proceed.

Troubleshooting
- Decline: As with any card transaction, there is a chance that the payment will be declined by the card issuer. You can review the receipt for additional information that may help you determine the reason for the decline. Unless you can address the cause of the decline, do not keep retrying the sale with the same payment card. Instead, if possible, try a different card, preferably from a different card issuer. Please contact our Support Team if you need further assistance.
- Connection: It's not possible to process a sale if you don't have an internet connection. If using a portable terminal or SoftPOS, ensure you have a stable connection to the internet via Wi-Fi (preferred) or mobile data. For countertop terminals, check that the ethernet cable is securely connected at both ends and that the wired network has a connection to the internet.
- Card or bank: While rare, payments can also fail if there is an issue with the specific payment card (e.g. it has expired or has been suspended by the card issuer) or the payment network at large (e.g. widescale outage at a bank or card issuer).
- Not all solutions support the printing of a physical receipt. Please check if your terminal has this capability before performing further troubleshooting.
- Check that the terminal has printer paper installed and that it is seated in the correct orientation, as shown below:
