Contactless

Contactless Functionality

Contactless: Uses NFC (Near Field Communications) payments such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Wallet.  It must be enabled both in the payment host and at the terminal level.  If the contactless module is enabled but still doesn't work, they need to contact the payment host.

Contactless Transaction Limit: Transaction limit defaults to $100. If the merchant wants to process contactless transactions for more than $100 they will need to increase the limit in their file on the EMV tab for each card brand (Visa, Mastercard, etc.).






CVM Required Limit: Set the CVM Required Limit to at least 0.01 so that all contactless transactions will require CVM. You can set this on the EMV Tab of your file for each card brand.

Contactless with an SP20 V4: All new applications require an SP20 V4 or supported legacy PIN pads for Contactless. The supported legacy PIN Pads are models E00 and 130-4E0 .  Anything older is not compatible with new applications. The application will determine if the PIN pad is NFC capable.  It activates the reader on the SP20 if it has Contactless and on the S80 if it doesn't.
