In the event that your integrated POS has a major failure and is unable to communicate with the terminal, you are able to change the terminal to operate in standalone mode. This will allow you to continue to accept card transactions even though your POS system is not operational.
Your POS will have no record of these transactions
When in standalone mode, your POS won't record transactions because it's not connected to the terminal. You'll need to manually reconcile these transactions with your POS and other systems.
By following the below instructions you can failover to standalone mode and back to integrated mode.
| Instructions | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Select the Menu button (☰) from the top edge of the display. |
| 2 | Tap Operating Mode |
| 3 | Enter your Merchant Passcode. |
| 4 | Receive on-screen confirmation that the terminal has changed to Standalone Mode. |
| 5 | Tap the cross in the top right to close the menu, then tap anywhere
on the screen to bring up the amount entry screen. Your terminal is now
operating in Standalone Mode |
Your terminal will automatically revert to Integrated after a terminal reboot
Your current operational mode is set until the terminal is rebooted, at which point, it returns to its default operating mode.
In addition to changing the operational mode to Standalone for failover, you also have the option to complete a single transaction in Standalone Mode without needing to change operational modes.
