This topic provides guidance for using an external EMV device to process electronic credit or debit transactions for Point-of-Sale orders rather than using an integrated magnetic stripe reader (card reader, card swiper). There is an increasing need to use EMV devices due to a shift in liability for fraudulent transactions in the credit card industry.
Go to Main Menu>Settings>Data Functions>Payment Methods to define one or more non-electronic payment methods in SEOM to record credit or debit transactions processed by an EMV terminal.
Refer to the topic on Payment Methods for more information. The example in this topic uses the Payment Method name of EMV_VISA. You can use any name you wish for your payment method name or names. You may want to create a separate payment method name for EMV payments for each credit card type so they are easily identifiable for reporting and accounting purposes.
Open the POS interface by going to Main Menu>Create a New Order>Point-of-Sale.
Add line items to the order. There are five ways to add line items:
Select items using the Hot Keys tab.
Scan the barcode of the item.
Type in a SKU in the field provided and press Enter on the keyboard.
Type in a barcode in the Barcode field and press Enter or Tab on the keyboard.
Perform a product search by selecting Prod. Lookup or pressing F6 key on the keyboard.
Process the payment for the total amount through the EMV® terminal.
Back at the POS interface, select Log Pmt on the Key Pad tab at the bottom of the POS screen to open the Enter Amount of Payment Received screen. The full amount due is pre-populated in Amount.
Select your Payment Method name from the list.
Select OK.
If the balance is now paid in full and UsePrinterMenu = True, the Printer Menu appears so you can select the printer where the invoice/receipt prints and the order is cleared from the POS interface.
If you want to view the payment information you added to the order, go to Process My Orders>View & Process My Orders and navigate to the POS order.
Select the Payment tab.
The logged transaction is displayed in the list of Existing Transactions.
