One of the major reasons why the Payment Terminal might not be working is the lack of connectivity issues with the Pin pad to the POS. If this is the problem, on your POS it should show a Red error line saying “Can not connect to the payment device please check your internet connection”. Other issues regarding the Payment Terminal are backend and can only be solved by the payment processors, for such cases, feel free to contact us.
