To make a terminal ready to accept payments, it needs to be assigned to your store, and then boarded. Often the terminal is already assigned to your store<\/a> and all you need to do is confirm. But it is also possible that you need to select your store<\/a> from a list on the terminal display.<\/p>\n

If you have a large number of stores, you can enable your store staff to initiate the boarding process with a one-time password<\/a> (OTP).<\/p>\n

The boarding process can take up to 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
