Processing Transactions Through the Plug-in 

Once the terminal is set up and connected to the network, you can verify the setup was done properly by running a transaction. Run card transactions by swiping, dipping (EMV/Chip), or keying in card information. 

Step 1: Enter static IP address and port number

The first time the plug-in is loaded, you will see the following pop-up. Enter the static IP address and the following port number: 8081.

The IP address and port number are saved as a cookie in the browser. If the cookie is deleted for any reason, you will need to enter this information again.


Step 2: Run a transaction

Manual/key entry 

  • Enter the card information. Fields will display a green check for valid entries. Fields will be highlighted in red for invalid entries.
  • Check "Remember Card?" to save the card to the customer vault for future one-time or recurring payments. The 'Remember Card' feature is for keyed-in transactions only and cannot be used for swiped or chip transactions on the terminal.
  • Click PAY to process a transaction.
  • Click More Options to print or email the receipt.


EMV/Chip 

  • Click Chip
  • Continue the transaction by following prompts on the terminal. The approval screen will be displayed in the plug-in once the transaction is completed on the terminal (be sure to press the green ENTER button to complete each transaction and return to the 'Ready/Welcome' screen).
  • Receipts for swiped and chip transactions are generated with the terminal printer and are not available in the plug-in.
