  • Enter the Refunds passcode that is set in your Customer Area under In-person payments > Terminal settings > Terminal passcodes > Refunds.

Enable new menus on older versions

If your terminals are using a software version between 1.85 and 1.90, you can enable the latest menu structure in your Customer Area. The buttons for the Settings and the Transactions menus as well as the on-screen notifications are hidden by default. This is because the self-service terminals do not use them.

To enable the new menus on your non-Android terminals:

  1. Log in to your Customer Area.
  2. Go to the account level for which you want to enable the new menus.
    • For a company or merchant account, select the account and go to In-person payments > Terminal settings.
    • For a store, go to In-person payments > Stores and select the store.
    • For a terminal, go to In-person payments > Terminals and select the terminal.
  3. Select Customization.
  4. Under Home screen > Upgraded terminal interface, select Enabled.
  5. To enable on-screen button and notifications:
    1. Under Settings menu button, select Show for the Settings menu on the terminal home screen.
    2. Under Transaction menu button, select Show for the Transaction menu on the terminal home screen.
    3. Under Notifications, select Show for the on-screen notifications about important events, like software updates or Bluetooth base station pairing.
  6. Select Save and update the configuration on your terminal.

Manage passcodes

You can manage passcodes in your Customer Area or with an API call. For both options, you can manage passcodes at the company, merchant, store, or terminal level.
