EFTPOS - PCEFTPOS/LINKY - Auto Split EFTPOS Payments Card Types

Overview

This lesson covers the steps and prerequisites required to automate the Split Payment Card Types in the EFTPOS system via BackOffice

Prerequisites​​​​​​​

  • This only applies for PC-EFTPOSANZ_ TCPIP as PC_EFTPOS (ActiveX) does not have Card Bins 


Procedure:

​​​​​​​Global Settings:

  • To enable this function, a flag needs to be enabled in the Global Settings called 'Split EFTPOS to Credit Cards'

​​​​​​​Venue Settings:

 

  • Within Venue Settings and the Names tab, the Credit Cards and Currencies section will have sixteen (16) available

  • By default, each Venue will have numbers 1 through 4 already entered

  • Leave these defaults as they are; when splitting EFTPOS payments to their respective card types, these Credit Card Names MUST match with the standard Card BIN Descriptions as seen in the below table

  • If the defaults are changed, that's OK; however the above Descriptions will need to be used for the corresponding Card Type as these are used to match the Card Prefix to the Card Type

  • For example, if the Credit Card Name is entered as M"Card instead of Mastercard, the Transaction amounts will go towards either EFTPOS or another Credit Card Name with a closer match, such as "Master Gift Card"

  • Use the remaining Credit Card Names to add any that are relevant to your venue

  • When using the Split EFTPOS to Credit Cards flag in Global Settings, optionally choose Hide Button for all Default EFTPOS methods

  • After restarting SmartPOS on a Workstation, those Payment methods will no longer be visible

After

​​​​​​​SmartPOS:

  • From the SmartPOS Workstation, use the EFTPOS payment method for any of these Card Types when a Credit Account is being used

  • Initially, an EFTPOS Transaction will be requested, however it will Approve to the Credit Card Type that is used

  • The Card Type used will display in a window prompt and then in the Transaction Window

​​​​​​​Financial Reporting:

  • In financial reports, the EFTPOS Payments will now be split into their respective Card Types rather than all together as EFTPOS
