How do payments work in detail?
- The amount of the invoice is displayed on the card reader.
- You then insert the card into the card reader:
- If it is a Maestro/VPay (EC-) card, the card reader will now request the card's PIN.
- A signature or PIN entry is required if it is a credit card (MasterCard/ Visa/ JCB/ Diners Club/ Discover/ ChinaUnionPay).
Good to know: The signature is stored by Payworks and can be recalled at any time.
- You will get the message “Payment successful.”
- The bill is printed automatically and is ultimately the customer receipt.
How does contactless payment (NFC) work?
- The amount of the invoice is displayed on the card reader
- Then, you hold the NFC-compatible card at the top of the card reader, where the 4 LEDs are. Contactless payments up to 50 euros are generally possible without a PIN, but limits may vary by bank and occasionally a PIN is required for security reasons.
- You will get the message “Payment successful.”
- The bill is printed automatically and is ultimately the customer receipt.
A bill paid by card has been reopened. What do I have to take into account?
When you reopen a table (= restore a bill) that has been paid by card, the amount will be automatically charged back to the cardholder. Therefore, your orderbird POS will always print a chargeback receipt, and you must re-bill this table.
