Contact your account representative at PPI (http://www.paypros.com) to obtain the account token and payment processor name. These are the only values are required for initial setup.
Set up and test the magnetic card reader as described in the card reader setup topic.
Confirm that a broadband internet connection is available

 

Setup

 

Open Amigo Pos back office and navigate to Back Office > Configuration > Main Settings >Credit Cards to open the credit card configuration dialog, as shown below. Select PPI Paymover as the interface and enter the account token (obtained from PPI). All changes are saved immediately. Restarting Amigo Pos is not required to begin processing credit card transactions immediately. Repeat this setup procedure on all pos stations  used to process credit card transactions.

Transaction Options

 

Transaction Type
PRE-AUTH/CAPTURE TRANSACTIONS: When using the default PRE-AUTH/CAPTURE transactions, you first pre-authorize the purchase and present the customer with a signature slip. After the customer has entered the amount of the gratuity and signs the receipt, you must capture the transaction to complete the sale. Note that you must capture the transaction, even if the gratuity amount is zero. This method should be used by most restaurants that accept gratuities.
SALE/ADD GRATUITY (ADJUST): When using Sale/Add Gratuity Transactions, the sale is captured immediately after running the card, and adding a gratuity is optional. If a gratuity must be added, return to the order settlement screen and select the Credit Card payment type again. Touch the 'ADD TIP' button to add a gratuity to the sale. This transaction type is generally used in a retail environment or in restaurants where gratuities are not used (i.e. fast food). Note that the transaction type is determined on a per-pos station basis. As such, you can use Pre-Auth/Post Auth transactions on the dining room pos station and Sale/Add Gratuity transactions on the counter pos station. The PPI Paymover web interface refers to the ADD GRATUITY transaction as an ADJUST transaction.

Note: When using Sale/Add Gratuity transactions, if a mistake was made when adding the gratuity, add another gratuity by reopening the order  and pressing the 'Add Gratuity' button. The original gratuity value is overwritten by the new gratuity value.

Time-Out Value: This value determines the time in seconds that Amigo Pos will wait for a response after sending a transaction request to PPI Paymover. Although IP processing occurs in 3-10 seconds, up to 20 seconds should be allowed in the event of a slow internet connection or delays on the payment processor's end. Dial-on-demand router users should increase this value to 120 seconds or longer so that the router has sufficient time to establish an internet connection.
Print Signature Slips: Amigo Pos is capable of printing signature slips directly to your receipt printer. Amigo Pos will only print signature slips when a response indicating a successful transaction is received from PPI Paymover
Print Copies: One signature slip is printed automatically for transactions (with the ability to reprint a signature slip by pressing the Reprint button). If additional slips are required, select the number of copies from the drop down list. i.e. selecting '1 Copy' will result in 2 signature slips being printed when the transaction is processed.

 

 

Correcting Mistakes

 

PRE-AUTH/CAPTURE: Never void an open PreAuth transaction unless you have the customer's card in hand to run the transaction again. Once voided, an open PreAuth cannot be processed again. If a PreAuth is not captured, it will generally become invalid after 5-10 days.
If a mistake is made when capturing the PreAuth, i.e. the wrong gratuity amount is entering, first void the Capture (PostAuth) transaction and capture the PreAuth again using the correct gratuity amount. Voiding a PostAuth (Capture) does not void the original PreAuth, it only reverses the PostAuth so the the PreAuth can be captured again.
SALE/ADD GRATUITY: If an incorrect gratuity amount is entered when adjusting a sale transaction,  run another Add Gratuity transaction for the correct gratuity amount. The original gratuity amount will be replaced by the new amount.

 

 

Signature Slips

Amigo Pos offers the option to customize the signature slip line-by-line. Navigate to Back Office > Configuration > Main Settings >Credit Cards and expand the Signature Slips settings. The following settings are available:
