When you make a Terminal API transaction from your POS app, the API response includes receipt data. This contains values you can add to the receipt that you print, show, or email to your shopper.<\/p>\n

\n

Standalone terminals are not integrated in a POS system. They have a built-in printer that automatically prints a compliant receipt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Requirements<\/h2>\n

Before you begin, take into account the following requirements, and preparations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Generating compliant receipts<\/h2>\n

Card schemes have very specific requirements on what should be included on a receipt. These requirements differ per scheme and country\/region, and can change. Receipts generated by Adyen have been certified as compliant by the card schemes that we support.<\/p>\n

We strongly recommend generating receipts using the Adyen-generated receipt data<\/a> without alterations.<\/p>\n

Card schemes will occasionally visit stores to verify that the receipts are fully compliant. Non-compliant receipts can result in payments being charged back<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

If you override the Adyen-generated receipt data<\/a>, or validate values against a hard-coded list, it is your responsibility to ensure that scheme requirements are met at all times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

URL encoding<\/h2>\n

If the Terminal API request includes characters from a non-Latin script, those characters are URL-encoded. To ensure those characters appear correctly on the printed receipt, you first need to URL-decode the PaymentReceipt<\/code> object from the payment response.<\/p>\n

Displaying virtual receipts<\/h2>\n

If you are using a wide-screen multimedia payment terminal<\/a>, such as the M400, you can show line items or receipts<\/a> on the display of the terminal.<\/p>\n

Receipt printing on terminals with a built-in printer<\/h2>\n

Some payment terminals, like the V400m<\/a> or V400c<\/a>, have a built-in printer. Such terminals automatically print the receipt using the Terminal API receipt data.<\/p>\n

You can optionally add your company logo<\/a> to this receipt.<\/p>\n

If you do not want to print the receipt on the terminal, specify the tender option<\/a> ReceiptHandler<\/strong> in your payment requests.<\/p>\n
