The Select Till Payments Terminal pop-up window will then open, showing a list of terminals and their statuses:

  • Available terminals have been detected and are ready to be paired.
  • Unavailable terminals cannot be detected, possibly due to a lack of power or internet connection, and cannot be paired until they are made available.
  • Busy terminals have been detected to be processing a transaction or other activity and will not be able to be paired until the task is complete and they have become available.

To check the latest status of each terminal, click on the Refresh action button to the top right of the Till Payment terminals list.

Once available, select the relevant terminal in the Till Payments terminals list.

To save the pairing and return to the Money and Banking tab, click on the Save button at the bottom right of the pop-up window.
