EFTLink Server

EFTLink is usually deployed as a service application running on each POS and connecting to a single payment device. To support environments where the POS runs as a thin-client application with restricted local device access, or where the hardware has limited processing power or memory, EFTLink can be deployed in Store Server mode.

A single EFTLink application runs on a designated server and all POSs connect to that one server. EFTLink manages the connections to multiple payment terminals and routes payment requests from each POS on to the relevant device.

EFTLink Server has two distinct modes that offer different use cases. A static mapping where a 1-1 logical connection between POS and payment terminal is still used or for EFTLink to make a dynamic selection of payment terminal based on its availability and convenience. This is referred to as PED-pooling (PED - PIN entry Device).
