Credit Card


Note:

This section applies to Credit and Debit Cards.


Note:

Debit Cards are supported via Oracle Retail EFTLink.

Payment Terminals

You can read credit and debit cards on a PIN Entry Device (PED) payment terminal. The entry modes available are governed by the payment terminal capabilities and payment processor, plus also the transaction amount. The possible entry modes on the payment terminal include:

  • Dip (Insert) the card: Chip and PIN (or Chip and Signature)

  • Card Swipe in the MSR (Magnetic Stripe Reader)

  • Tap the card: NFC Tap & Go


Note:

NFC enabled smartphones can also be used to perform an NFC Tap payment if the payment terminal allows, using payment apps such as ApplePay, SamsungPay and GooglePay.

Figure 6-13 Card Read Prompt

Card Read Prompt

Note:

The payment terminal itself will decide on the authentication required, and can be influenced based on:
  • the country

  • the card type

  • the card entry mode

  • the recent card usage

  • other criteria as determined by the payment provider


When card payments are made using Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) on the payment terminal, that is when the payment terminal allows you to pay in foreign currency instead of local currency, the foreign currency information such as foreign currency amount and foreign currency exchange rate is captured.

QR Code

You may need to select a payment terminal if multiple PEDs are in use in the store.

Figure 6-14 Scan Payment Device

Scan Payment Device

Selection is either by:

  • scanning the QR code on the front of the payment device or,

  • use your device camera or,

  • by selecting from a list of PED devices.

If only one PED is available, no selection of payment terminal is required and the scanning QR code functionality configuration should be disabled.

To select a payment terminal from a QR code:

  1. Select a tender type requiring a need of a payment terminal that is authorized by Oracle Retail EFTLink such as a credit/debit card.

  2. From the prompt 'Please scan the payment device':

    • Scan the QR code on the front of the payment terminal or,

    Xstore will send a card service request to EFTLink specifying the PED to use and payment is completed at the scanned PED.


Note:

Retailers are responsible for creating QR codes for the payment terminals and placing them on the appropriate device. They are also responsible for configuring available PEDs.

The procedure for tendering a return on an eWallet tender is similar to that with a Credit / Debit card, that was used as payment on the original sale transaction. It is not possible to perform a blind return to an eWallet tender, it can only be selected from the original tenders on a verified return.
