How To Set-up The Phone Only POS

With our new Phone Only POS, simply use "Tap To Pay" with a credit card or mobile wallet to the back of your Pocket POS to accept payment

Set-Up Tap to Pay

-There are no initial steps needed to activate the Tap to Pay functionality on your Pocket POS. 

-Tap to Pay now automatically populates on compatible devices^** as a payment method.

Make Tap to Pay the Default

If you do not utilize an NYC1 with your Pocket POS or simply want Tap to Pay as the default, you can do so.

-Navigate to More--Settings--Payments in your POS.

-Set "Tap to Pay" as the "Default Device for Preauth".

Note: The Default Payment Device for Preauth only affects the method of credit card payment the device will default to when authorizing a credit card. If "Tap to Pay" is chosen as the default, then your device will be expecting a tap of a credit card or mobile wallet to the back of the phone when attempting to authorize. If "Card Reader" is selected, then the device is expecting an authorization via the NYC1 card reader.

How To Use

-Click Authorize (if default interface is set to "Tap to Pay") or click "Tap to Pay" from your payment method options.

-Tap mobile wallet or Tap to Pay capable credit card to the back of your Pocket POS as shown below.

-The phone will buzz with a small chime and you should see "card successfully read" on your POS.
