Everything at a glance

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. A PIN entry is not required for amounts under €25.
  •  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.
