Merchant Cards

If you use stand alone EFTPOS, the Merchant Cards File is used to configure which merchant card types can be used to make payments at the FOH e.g. Visa or Master Card. These merchant cards are then added to the Media Keypad so they can be used to make payments.

From Polygon Back Office,

Select Accounts from the Main Menu then select Merchant Cards.

The Merchant Cards file lists all merchant cards currently available in the system. Cards can be created, edited or removed from here. Other details displayed for each card include:

•Commission Percent - This shows the card provider's Commission Percentage that will apply when this merchant card is used at the POS Terminal;

•Commission GST Inc - This shows whether the card provider's commission is inclusive of GST;

•Commission Auto Pay - Whether the commission will be paid to the card provider automatically when depositing the Merchant Cards revenue.

Once you have added Merchant Cards they should be made available to the FOH via the Media Keypad Update Form in Polygon POS Management. Remember to send an update once these changes have been made.

To edit an existing Merchant Card - Highlight the merchant card which you wish tho edit, then click on the Change button to access the Merchant Card Details File;

To delete a Merchant Card - Select the Merchant Card and then click on the Delete button;
