Accepting Payments
Contactless enabled cards, smart phones or smart watches can be used as a method of payment on this terminal. The customer chooses a preset or custom amount and the terminal will then display the contactless logo on the screen.
The customer then taps their card or device above the contactless logo on the terminal’s display. Four green indicator lights will be displayed when the card or device has been successfully read. The transaction result will be displayed on the terminal as either approved or declined
Standalone Transactions
Selecting a Preset Transaction Amount
Customers are presented with 4 preset amounts (values are by logging into the Cloud EFTPOS Web Portal). A customer simply selects a single preset amount that they wish to purchase.
- The customer taps on a preset transaction tile
- The customer taps their contactless card or smart device on the card prompt screen
- The transaction result is displayed and the customer can select Receipt to obtain a receipt via scanning a QR code
Entering a Custom transaction Amount
Selecting CUSTOM AMOUNT will allow a customer to input any amount up to $99.00. The amount will change up (+) or down (-) by $1 when tapped.
Enabling Custom Amount
The CUSTOM AMOUNT button is not displayed by default. To enable this button, go to the Cloud EFTPOS Web Portal and turn Enable Custom Amount Input feature ON.




Integrated Transactions
In an integrated environment, the transaction amount is passed from the ANZTEC machine to the terminal. The customer will only need to tap their card/device when prompted.



Cancelling a Transaction
To cancel a transaction, press the button. The terminal will then return to the preset amounts screen.


Understanding Error Codes & Declines
It is important for a terminal operator to understand payment error codes and why a transaction has declined in order to rectify any issues. A decline can occur for multiple reasons. It may be an issue with the customer’s card, the customer’s account, insufficient funds, the back end system, communications between the terminal and the back end system, etc. The error code is displayed on the declined screen.
