Configuring CHIP AND PIN (EMV)

To process Chip and PIN payments, you must set up the Chip and PIN payment devices available at your property.

  1. From the Administration menu, go to Enterprise | OPERA Controls | Groups | Credit Card | Parameters.

  2. Online Settlement: Select this check box to allow online settlement. OPI is an online settlement and this must be checked to activate the Chip and PIN Application Setting.

  3. Select this check box to enable CHIP AND PIN payment types.

    • Chip and PIN Enabled Payment Types: When the IFC | Chip and PIN application parameter is set to Y, this option is visible and selected by default. You may not deselect the check box. Select the LOV to choose the credit card payment types that will trigger a Chip and PIN message with or without credit card data to the EMV Device. Payment types that are configured here will not require a credit card number or expiration date to be entered when selected as a payment method on the Reservation screen or on the Payment screen. This data can be provided in the response message from the Payment Partner.
