and chip&pin cards.
Smart card
If the card has a CHIP, insert the card into the chip card reader located on
the right, with the CHIP facing towards the screen. If the card is not
recognised, an error message will be displayed. Smart cards usually require a
PIN code to confirm the transaction. If a PIN code is required, ENTER PIN
screen will be displayed. The myPOS Pro device will initiate the transaction
authorization process by communicating with myPOS. If the transaction is
approved by the issuer, confirmation message “Transaction successful” will be
displayed. At this point, you can remove the card from the reader and return
it to the customer.
Magnetic stripe card
Magnetic stripe cards are swiped with the magnetic stripe facing up through
the reader located at the top side of the myPOS Pro 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 PIN code is required, ENTER PIN
screen will be displayed.
If a chip card is swiped, the app will display a screen with instructions that
the card should be inserted into the chip reader.
The myPOS Pro device will initiate the transaction authorization process by
communicating with myPOS. If the transaction is approved by the issuer,
confirmation message “Transaction successful” will be displayed.
Contactless cards
Hold the card (or smartphone) approximately 3cm above the NFC reader of your
myPOS Pro device. When the contactless reader recognises the card, the four-
color indicators will flash. If the card is successfully read, all four
indicators will be on. After you hear a beep, you can remove the card and
return it to the customer.
If the card requires a PIN code, ENTER PIN screen will be
displayed.
