Using a USB swipe device or card reader in the virtual POS interface does not necessitate any software installation other than the device drivers, which are typically installed automatically. To use a card reader within Payeezy Gateway you must be set up with a retail terminal. If you need to set up a retail terminal please contact your First Data representative for assistance.
To run a swiped transaction from the RPM (RealTime Payment Manager) choose the POS tab and select the appropriate Retail merchant and terminal from the drop down menus on the right.
Next, choose Purchase from the Transaction Type menu and then enter the dollar amount of the sale.
Next, put your curser in the either the Card Holder’s Name or Credit Card Number field and then swipe the card. Note: If you do not put the curser in one of these fields then you will get an error message.
After you swipe the card, the card holder information will populate in those fields. You can then enter any reference numbers manually and then click on Process Transaction to complete the sale.
