What this page is for
This page wires a card terminal to the till it sits beside, so card payments taken at that till go through this terminal. Card payments only work once your plan includes card payments.
Only people whose role can manage the business's structure see this page.
Before you start
- The till the terminal is wired to must already exist — see New till.
