Set up a Pay.nl payment terminal

Set up a Pay.nl payment terminal in our booking system. Create the payment method, import the terminal and link it to the correct cash drawer.

With a Pay.nl payment terminal, you can process payments directly from our booking system. This guide explains how to first create the payment method for terminal payments and then import and configure the Pay.nl terminal.

Create a payment method for terminal payments

Before you can import a Pay.nl terminal, you first need to set up the payment method for terminal payments.

  1. Go to Settings > Administrative > Payments and click Payment methods next to your payment provider.

  2. Scroll to the 'Terminal payment' payment method and click Add.

  3. Enter a name for the payment method and select the correct general ledger account.

  4. Click Save.

After the payment method has been saved at least once, the Terminals button appears next to the payment method.

Import a Pay.nl terminal

  1. Click Terminals next to the payment method you just created.

  2. Click Import terminals.

  3. The available Pay.nl terminals are now imported. The following information is automatically retrieved from Pay.nl:

    • the code as the terminal ID;

    • the supplier as the brand;

    • the terminal type as the model;

    • the serial number;

    • the name;

    • the description.

Configure a Pay.nl terminal

After the terminals have been imported, configure where and how each terminal will be used.

  1. Link the terminal to the correct cash drawer.

  2. Enable 'Active' to use the terminal.

  3. Is the terminal located at a self-service kiosk? Enable 'Kiosk' as well.

Leave Port and Acquirer ID empty. These settings are only used for Worldline terminals.

Differences between Pay.nl and Worldline terminals

A Pay.nl terminal can be used to process payments from our booking system. Some functions that are available for Worldline terminals are not supported.

With a Pay.nl terminal, you cannot use our booking system to:

  • refund a payment through the terminal;

  • cancel a payment through the terminal;

  • retrieve the most recent transaction;

  • retrieve daily totals;

  • reset the terminal;

  • restart the terminal.

The buttons for these functions are not displayed for Pay.nl terminals. This is normal and does not mean that the terminal has been configured incorrectly.

Want to refund a payment? Use the standard refund process in our booking system.
