Accepting Credit Cards

The iCMP supports a few different types of credit payments. Follow the steps below to learn how to accept swiped credit cards, EMV chip cards, and Apple Pay (Coming soon).

Swipe

When a customer has a card with only a magnetic stripe, process a swiped credit card sale.  Ring up a credit transaction as normal and select 'Credit'.  With the card stripe facing up, swipe the card through top slot of the iCMP credit card reader. Wait for payment to be approved and continue closing the transaction as normal.

EMV

If a customer has a chip card, run an EMV transaction by dipping the card.  Ring up a transaction as normal and select 'Credit'.  Wait for the iPad and iCMP to prompt for insertion of the card.  Insert the card at the bottom of the iCMP (chip end first). Follow the instructions on the Ingenico iCMP payment terminal. Most common is F3 for Yes to accept amount, then remove card. 

Visa debit cards might give two choices Visa Debit and US Debit.  US Debit will require a PIN, US Debit will not. Use the F2 and F3 keys to move the selection, green button to select.

Once the screen indicates the transaction has been authorized and the card can be removed, complete the sale by removing the card.  Give the DATIO POS App a second to react after the card is removed.

Apple Pay

For customers who want to pay with their iPhone, use Apple Pay. Ring up a transaction and select the 'Credit' tender option.  At the register, the customer holds their iPhone within 1" of the credit card reader while touching the home button on their phone.  The iPhone will automatically open Apple Wallet.  Customer waits for a slight vibration, a check mark and a beep, indicating payment confirmation. Wait for payment to be approved and continue closing the transaction as normal.
