Before You Begin
Before creating a payment method, ensure you have:
-
Created roles to have access to the payment method. If these have not been created, you can assign them at any time. For more information, refer to Creating a Role.
-
Created a ticket template, if applicable. If this has not been created, you can assign it at any time.

Setup for Debit Payments
A receipt must be printed for each debit transaction, regardless of whether it is a payment or refund, successful or not. As a result, it is very important that users accepting debit card payments must select a printer that is properly configured to print debit transaction receipts.
To process debit transactions, you must have the following configured:
-
One or more printers for the user to select in the Change Your Settings window (SHIFT+S).
-
A ticket template attached to each debit payment method.
-
Each ticket template attached to a debit payment method must be configured with elements for every printer device and stock type combination that is available to the user.
Attempting to process a debit transaction without an appropriate printer selected will generate an error that may be difficult to remedy.
