Processing a Debit Payment

Process a debit payment through the Transactions button panel on the POS view. Other checkout options are cash, credit, gift card, cheque, split tender and store credit. Debit payments are processed differently depending on whether you are an integrated or a non-integrated merchant. The integrated debit payment process is also slightly different if the Debit Cashback feature is enabled.

PAYD Pro PlusTM also supports processing payments on an invoice and putting items on layaway. For details, see Invoicing Sales and Putting Items on Layaway.

NOTE: Before checking out from a sale, you can apply a discount to it.

Integrated Debit Payment

If your PAYD Pro Plus In-Store Solution is integrated with Moneris® payment processing, you will be processing integrated debit payments.

NOTE: Card type is determined by the processing response received by PAYD Pro Plus. If you select a debit payment, but a credit card is used, the transaction is processed as a credit card transaction and recorded as such on receipts and reports.

 

To process an integrated debit payment:

  1. Process the transaction: assign a customer (optional), add products to the bill, adjust quantities or prices, apply discounts (if applicable).

  2. On the POS view Transactions button panel, click Debit.

  1. If the assigned customer has outstanding store credit, a popup prompt appears asking if you would like to use it as the payment method. Do one of the following:

  1. If your store is set to prompt for the commission employee, the Employee search popup appears. Select an employee by clicking their name in the list.
    The Debit Purchase popup appears.

  1. If you want to print a gift receipt, select the Gift receipt checkbox.

NOTE: Contactless transactions are only available to merchants using an iPP320 PINpad and integrated payment processing with Moneris. The 7800 (i3070) PINpad does not support contactless transactions.

  1. Follow the prompts on the PINpad. Refer to Merchant and Customer Prompts on an Integrated PINpad for more information.

  2. If you experience problems, click the Swipe button again and swipe/re-swipe the card.

NOTE: Debit card numbers cannot be entered manually.

If you choose to re-set the POS view, the sale is terminated but is saved on your system as a Cancelled sale. (See Viewing Transaction Details.)

 

Integrated Debit Payment with Cashback

If your PAYD Pro Plus In-Store Solution is integrated with the Moneris payment processing solution, and you have the Cashback feature enabled, you will be processing integrated debit payments with the ability to offer Cashback to your customers.

NOTE: If debit Surcharge is enabled on the terminal, the tender type is forced based on the card type swiped/inserted. For example, if you click DEBIT as payment, but swipe a credit card, the PINpad prompts that the wrong card type was used and cancels the transaction. Similarly, it would behave the same way if CREDIT was clicked, but a debit card was inserted/swiped.

To process an integrated debit payment:

  1. Process the transaction: assign a customer (optional), add products to the bill, adjust quantities or prices, apply discounts (if applicable).

  2. On the POS view Transactions button panel, click Debit.

 NOTE: See Card Entry Methods for more information on how to enter cards on the PINpad.

NOTE: If the customer is prompted for a Surcharge amount, have the customer follow the prompts as necessary. For more information, see Surcharge on Debit Transactions.
