Introduction

A payment terminal, also known as a point of sale (POS) terminal is a device used to authorize bank cards and conduct payment transactions. A terminal contacts the r_keeper 7 cash station using one of the supported protocols described below. Depending on the protocol, a bank card can be read using its own bank terminal reader or a reader connected to the r_keeper 7 cash station.

Payment terminals allow paying for orders using bank cards, with an automatic request for transactions to the r_keeper cash station. For this:

  1. Allow using the terminal for the selected card type. To do this, go to Money > Currencies > Credit cards and check the Use POS terminal box in the Interface section of the card properties
  2. Add the appropriate device to the configuration. To do this, go to Service > Stations and Devices, select the required cash station and add the driver you need on the Drivers tab
  3. Create a logical device on the Printers tab. To do this, go to Service > Stations and Devices and open the Printers tab of the required cash station
  4. Select the created device as the POS Terminal. To do this, go to Service > Stations and Devices, select the required cash station and in the Printer Assignments section of its properties, select the created device in the Authorization Terminal field.

The general settings for the Verifone vx510 and Ingenico 5100 terminals are as follows:

The vx510 driver has the CmdRetries configuration parameter. It determines the number of attempts to execute the authorization command if the terminal does not give either a positive or a negative response to it.

Arcus

Below is an example of a configuration file — ops.ini, usually configured by a banking software company. Some parameters from it can be used when setting the properties of the arcus.dll driver in the r_keeper 7 Manager Station:

# COMPATIBLE for PIN-PADS software for processing OPENWAY,SMARTVISTA,TIETO (NewWay v4.0.2.x)
# The structure of the operation description string (operation configuration)
#
# [op code] [op class] [op id] [op name]
#
# 1 = 1, 1, PAYMENT
# The comment sign - "#" at the beginning of the line - OPERATION IS NOT USED and cannot be called from POS software
# to ENABLE operation processing in Arcus2 mode - DELETE COMMENT SIGN
#
# Op code - operation code for the cash register, CAN BE EDITED FOR A SPECIFIC CASH REGISTER IMPLEMENTATION
# Op class Op id - DO NOT EDIT !!! these codes are may influence the PIN-PAD SOFTWARE operability

As an example of use: in the properties of the arcus.dll driver connected to work with the pin pad, you can configure automatic reconciliation of results when closing a shift at the cash station. To do this, in the CmdClose field, write the value 7 in the «Reports and shift closing» section in ops.ini.

In the r_keeper manager station, configure the following:

  1. The driver for the cash station. Go to its properties and in the Options section specify:
  2. The logical printer driver
  3. The logical printer for cash station in printer assignment
  4. The authorization terminal selected as a print layout for current print scheme
  5. The authorization terminal selected as the document view with the printing assignment
  6. The currency has the Use POS Terminal setting enabled. To do this, go to the currency properties and expand the Interface section

If you are using a terminal without a built-in printer, the setup is identical, except for the following:

  1. In the copy of the Authorization result layout, add the [SlipToPrint] memo to the created band or to the Report Title band
  2. Instead of the POS terminal assignment, select the printer assignment that is used to print receipts and reports
  3. Add a layout to the print scheme you are using.

    4. Click on the 3 dots in the LowDriverParams line and fill in the lines:
      • full path to emvgatessl.dll and emvgate.cfg
      • KKM number
      • Send number of guests
    5. Save the changes
  2. Go to the Printers tab
    1. Create a new printer in the empty field, using the context menu item

      • Name your printer
      • Change its status to Active
      • In the Module line, select the added Universal driver for card validators (HTTP) driver from the drop-down list
