Activation

Every myPOS Go device has a unique serial number. During the activation, myPOS links the serial number of your myPOS Go device to your myPOS account. Once your new myPOS Go device is activated, every transaction accepted with it will be credited to your myPOS account.
You can link more than one myPOS device to one merchant account. In this case, the payments accepted with all myPOS terminals will be credited to the same myPOS account.
Your myPOS Go device needs to be activated before you can start using it.
To complete the activation process, the device must be connected to the Internet.

Follow these steps to activate your device:

Step 3: Enter your SIM PIN.
If the mobile network was not recognized, the myPOS Go device will display an error message and two options: to try again (X) or to manually enter the APN settings (O) of your mobile network.

Once it has connected to your mobile network, the myPOS Go will perform a test of the connection to the myPOS system.

If the test is successful, the activation screen will appear; If the connection test is unsuccessful, the myPOS Go screen will display an error message.

The activation procedure is a one-time process and requires an activation code generated by myPOS to be entered manually on your myPOS Go device.

Accepting payments

Payment transactions

Every time you switch your myPOS Go terminal on, it will automatically connect to the Internet and will display the home screen.

When you press any key (aside from F1 and F2), the terminal will go directly to the PAYMENT screen, ready for performing a Payments transaction. Making a PAYMENT transaction with your myPOS Go is easy and convenient. Please follow the steps described below.

Step1: Enter the amount of the transaction in the PAYMENT Screen. The amount must be entered without the decimal point. For example: for an amount of 5.00, enter 500 on the keyboard. When the PAYMENT screen display the correct amount, confirm by pressing the green key (O). If you need to correct the amount, please use the yellow key ( <) to delete the last entry or the red key (X) to start the process from the beginning.

Smart card
If the card has a CHIP, insert the card in the bottom reader with the CHIP facing towards the keyboard.

When your myPOS Go successfully reads the card, the screen will flash Green.

If the card is not recognized, the screen will flash Red. Please check if the card is inserted properly in the reader, remove it and try again. If the problem persists, please ask your customer for another card.

CHIP cards usually require a PIN code in order to confirm a transaction. If a PIN code is required for a card, your myPOS Go terminal will display the ENTER PIN screen.

Please hand the terminal to the customer and ask him or her to enter his or her PIN code securely and to press the green key (O) when ready.

If the card supports PIN (personal identification number) check, the terminal will process the PIN code and will display PIN OK if the correct PIN code has been entered by your customer.

The myPOS Go device will initiate the transaction authorization process by communicating with my POS. The Processing screen will indicate that the procedure is not completed.

If the transaction is approved by the issuer, the confirmation message “TRANSACTION IS APPROVED” will be displayed. At this point, you can remove the card from the reader and return it to the customer.

Magnetic stripe card
If your customer’s card only has a mag stripe on it, please follow the procedure below after you enter and confirm the amount of the transaction.

Magnetic stripe cards are swiped with the magnetic stripe facing up through the reader located at the top side of the myPOS Go device.

Make sure that the card is inserted properly and the bottom of the card runs firmly and at even speed. The speed of swiping the card must not be too slow, as this can sometimes cause problems.

If a CHIP card is swiped as a magnetic one, the terminal will display the following screen.

Contactless card

The contactless (NFC) technology is gaining popularity and it is very likely that many of your customers will hand you such cards. Your myPOS Go device can accept two types of contactless cards – PayPass and payWave, issued by Mastercard and VISA respectively.

Contactless cards always need to have the following logo printed on it.

If your customer’s card has a PayPass or payWave logo on it, please follow the procedure below after you enter and confirm the amount of the transaction.

Hold the card (or smartphone) approx. 3cm above the display of your myPOS Go.

When the secure contactless reader recognizes the card, the four-color indicators will flash, showing that the card is being processed. If the card is successfully read, all four indicators will be on. The process takes one second and after you hear a beep, you can remove the card.

If the card requires a PIN code to be entered, please hand the terminal to the customer and ask him or her to enter his or her PIN code.

Send an e-receipt to the customer for the approved PAYMENT transaction via SMS or e-mail by choosing the preferred option from the Receipt menu.

If the customer wants to receive an e-receipt from myPOS via SMS, press (1) and enter the mobile phone number of the customer on the screen. IMPORTANT: Always enter the phone number with the country code. If the customer wants to receive an e-receipt from myPOS in his or her e-mail box, press (2) and enter the e-mail address of the customer. If the customer does not want to receive any receipt for this transaction, press (3 – No Receipt).

IMPORTANT: It is always a good practice to send an SMS e-receipt in order to resolve any possible issues with the customer.

Send payment request

Step 5: Enter recipient’s name using the device keyboard and confirm with the green key (O ENTER).
Step 6: Enter reason for payment using the device keyboard and confirm with the green key (O ENTER). The payment request is successfully sent.
Step 7: Information about the Top-Up operation is displayed. Pres any key to continue.

Refund transactions

A refund transaction is used in order to issue a refund (credit) to the customer.
When you refund a card transaction, the amount of the refund is returned to the customer’s card account and your my POS account is debited with the corresponding amount.

Before making a refund

Never make a refund unless there has been an original purchase with the card. If you do, the service provider may block your myPOS Go terminal and withdraw your card processing facility.
Check that your customer has handed you the card used for the original transaction – the last four digits have to match those on the e-receipt. If they do not, ask for the original card.
Never give a cash or cheque refund for a card transaction – scammers often try to obtain cash that way by requesting a cash refund and then issuing a chargeback for their card transaction, costing you money.
Never refund more than the original transaction amount.

Step 1: From the home screen, press (F1) in order to enter the Transaction type menu. Select REFUND by pressing (4) and confirm with the green key (O). The myPOS Go terminal will display the REFUND screen.
Step 2: Type in the amount of the refund transaction and press the green key (O) to confirm. Present the customer card to the terminal either via the Magnetic Stripe, Chip or contactless reader.
Step 3: Ask your customer to Enter PIN code where required.

Last transaction void

Step 1: From the home screen, press (F1) in order to enter the Transaction type menu. Select Last Transaction Void by pressing (5) and confirm with the green (O).
The myPOS Go terminal will display the Last Transaction void screen showing the amount of your last transaction.
Step 2: Confirm by pressing the green button (O).
Step 3: Ask your customer to Enter PIN code where required.

If there is no previous successfully processed transaction or it has been voided, the myPOS Go terminal will display an error message “No transaction found”.

If the transaction is declined with a “Transaction is not permitted” message, then take into account that this type of transaction is forbidden for the particular myPOS Go device.
