Forced Transactions

Forced Transactions

(This can only be done from a Standalone terminal and not from a Semi-Integrated terminal i.e s300, sp30s etc.)

On the terminal:
Press the down arrow until SALE changes to FORCED or Press F4 until it changes to FORCED
Enter the amount of the forced sale
Enter the card numbers manually
Enter the Auth Code from either the original sale receipt or provided by the host
Press Enter to complete the FORCED transaction

***If the forced transaction does not process the caller will need to speak with the host about how to receive compensation for this transaction***
