New menus on non-Android terminals
From software version 1.85.2, the menu structure is aligned between Android and non-Android payment terminals.
From software version 1.90, support for old terminals menus will stop and all non-Android payment terminals will automatically switch to the new menu structure.
To enable the new menus on your non-Android terminals:
- In your Customer Area, go to Terminal settings > Customization. This enables the new menus for all terminals in your fleet.
To enable it for a specific terminal, go to Terminals, select your terminal, and go to Customization.
- Under Home screen > Upgraded terminal interface, select Enabled.
This enables the new menus but the buttons for Settings and Transactions, as well as on-screen notifications are hidden by default. This is because the self-serving terminals do not use them. - To show buttons and notifications, select Show under Settings menu button, Transaction menu button, and Notifications.
- Select Save and update the configuration on your terminal.
