What if a contactless payment card is not being read?



It is possible that the card you’re accepting is not contactless. You should double-check this before proceeding to accept a payment. Simply find the contactless sign on the card and, if it’s visible, you’ll be able to accept the card with your myPOS Glass app. Also ensure that the card you’re accepting is a Visa or Mastercard card.

The performance of contactless cards can vary based on the card design, such as the card material or the location of the antenna. As a result, some cards connect more easily than others.

Try the following to ensure a successful card read:

First, ask the customer to hold their contactless payment card directly on the device with the chip on the left side and the longer side of the card lined up with the edge of the tap area for several seconds.
If the card still doesn't read, ask the customer to slide the card to center the chip directly over the notch on the device.
If the contactless card remains unread without any feedback from myPOS Glass, the card might have a damaged antenna or might not work with contactless payments. In this case, ask the customer for another contactless card or for a digital wallet.

How can I send a receipt to the customer after a payment?



You can send an electronic receipt to the customer by either emailing them or sending them their receipt via SMS. Choose the most convenient option for your customer and be accountable for each sale you make.
