Terminal Authentication
To improve security, terminals can be configured to require authentication before transactions can be processed.
PIN Authentication
When PIN authentication is enabled, authorised users must enter a PIN before accessing the terminal.
Benefits:
- Restricts terminal access.
- Prevents unauthorised use.
- Suitable for fixed-location devices.
OTP Authentication
When PIN authentication is disabled, one or more mobile numbers can be configured to receive a One-Time Password (OTP).
The OTP must be entered before the terminal can be used.
Benefits:
- Additional security for mobile devices.
- Suitable for shared terminals.
- Allows multiple authorised users to receive authentication codes.
Note: Multiple cellphone numbers can be configured using a comma-separated list.
Ordering a Terminal
If you require a new POS device, a terminal can be ordered and assigned to your account.
Once provisioned, the device will appear automatically in the Terminals section where it can be configured and managed.
