WHAT’S NEW ABOUT THIS TERMINAL

Your Verifone device supports chip card technology. More information on chip card technology and how to process those payment transactions can be found on page 20.

INTEGRATED CONTACTLESS AND CHIP PAYMENTS

WHAT ABOUT MAGNETIC STRIPE CARDS?

Your terminal will still have the capability to process magnetic stripe cards. If a chip enabled card is swiped, the terminal will prompt for the card to be inserted into the chip reader. Do not attempt to force a chip card to process as swiped.

1. LOOK: Look out for the contactless symbol at the terminal.

2. TOUCH: There’s no need to enter a PIN.

Just hold your card flat against the reader.

3. GO: Wait for the green light or the beep to confirm your payment and go!

CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS

For added convenience for both you and your customers, certain

Verifone VX Evolution devices are equipped to automatically support contactless payments. In many cases, a separate PIN pad can be attached to your terminal, to allow your business to begin processing chip cards and contactless payments. Your customers can tap and hold

CONTACTLESS CHIP CARD TRANSACTION

INTEGRATED CONTACTLESS AND CHIP PAYMENTS

their contactless payment method (cards, fobs, mobile phones, etc.) on the device to submit payment account information to the terminal, removing the need to swipe, insert or manually key.

During a sale transaction, the terminal will display the ”Tap/Insert/

Swipe/Key Card” prompt and the contactless symbol. At this time, customers with contactless-enabled payment method should touch or “tap” them to the terminal. Your terminal will process contactless payment transactions as if a card were swiped or inserted.

As an added security measure, transaction amounts over a pre-set threshold will require a card swipe.

CHIP CARD TECHNOLOGY

When a customer presents a chip card, you should initiate a sale and then pass the POS device to the customer (if you do not have an external PIN pad). The customer inserts their card into the chip reader at the bottom of the terminal or PIN pad, where it should remain until the transaction completes. Your terminal will instruct the customer when to remove their card. This ensures that the card never leaves the customer’s possession and that your business does not accept counterfeit plastics.

SETTLING THE BATCH

Your transactions must be “settled” daily. Read this section to ensure the settlement process operates smoothly.

ABOUT SETTLEMENT

A Settlement operation is used to close the current batch and open a new batch for logging and accumulating transactions.

Your Verifone terminal stores transactions throughout the day and sends batch totals of sales and refunds to the host (Chase) after the close of business.

There are two settlement options: Manual Settlement and Auto

Settlement.

OPEN BATCH

INDICATOR

When a batch is open, the VX 520 terminal displays OPEN on the menu screen, and the

VX 680 terminal displays

$ on the menu screen.

1 – MANUAL SETTLEMENT

If your terminal is set to manually settle, select Settlement from the main menu and follow the prompts displayed.

2 – AUTO SETTLEMENT

If your terminal is set to automatically settle, it will automatically settle transactions in the current batch at a specific, predetermined time, within a 24-hour period. When configured, auto settlement begins any time after the set time occurs if there are transactions in the batch.

For example, if auto settlement time is set to 22:30:00 (10:30 p.m.) then auto settlement occurs any time after 22:30:00. If the terminal is turned off before the set time, and turned on again (usually the next morning), auto settlement occurs at that time.

INTEGRATED CONTACTLESS AND CHIP TECHNOLOGY

CONTACTLESS PAYMENTS

For added convenience for both you and your customers, certain

Verifone VX Evolution devices are equipped to automatically support contactless payments. In many cases, a separate PIN pad can be attached to your terminal, to allow your business to begin processing chip cards and contactless payments. Your customers could tap or hold their contactless payment method (cards, fobs, mobile phones, etc.) on the device to submit account information to the terminal, removing the need to swipe, insert or manually key.

During a sale transaction, the terminal will display the “Tap/Insert/

Swipe/Key Card” prompt and the contactless symbol. At this time, customers with contactless-enabled payment methods should touch or tap them on the terminal’s screen. Your terminal will process contactless payment transactions as if a card were swiped or inserted.

As an added security measure, transaction amounts over a pre-set threshold will require a card swipe.

ç | Table of Contents

EMBEDDED CHIP CARD TECHNOLOGY

Your Verifone device may also support chip card technology. A chip payment card looks just like a regular card but has an embedded chip on the front in addition to the standard magnetic stripe on the back.

What you see on the front of the card is not the actual microchip, but a protective overlay. The microchip provides an additional level of authenticity for the transaction.

When a customer presents a chip card, you should initiate a sale and then pass the terminal POS device to the customer (if you do not have an external PIN pad). The customer inserts their card into the chip reader at the bottom of the terminal or PIN pad, where it should remain until the transaction completes. Your terminal will instruct the customer when to remove their card. This ensures that the card never leaves the customer’s possession and that your business does not accept counterfeit plastics.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE | VERIFONE VX | 21

CHIP TECHNOLOGY Q&A

WHAT IS CHIP TECHNOLOGY?

Chip technology is an evolution in our payment system that will help increase security, reduce fraud and enable the use of future valueadded applications. Chip cards are embedded with a micro computer chip. Some may require a PIN instead of a signature to complete the transaction process.

WHAT ABOUT MAGNETIC STRIPE CARDS?

Your terminal will still have the capability to process magnetic stripe cards. Chip cards will still have a magnetic stripe in order to be compatible with other international and regional standards so that customers will be able to use their cards on your terminal.

WHAT ARE THE TRANSACTION

PROCESSES AND NEW PROMPTS?

Your terminal can process EMV transactions for chip cards that have been issued in the U.S. or from other countries. In addition, your terminal will continue accepting all non-chip payment cards. Simply use the magnetic stripe for those transactions.

To process a chip card transaction, follow these five steps:

1. Initiate the transaction on your terminal by pressing [0], selecting

Sale or [Enter] , and following any additional prompts.

2. Ensure the customer has access to the payment device by passing it to them if necessary.

3. The customer inserts the chip card into the chip card reader (slot on the bottom-front of the terminal) and leaves it there until the transaction completes.

4. Follow the prompts displayed on the terminal.

5. Let the customer complete the transaction by keying in a PIN or signing the receipt.

CHIP TECHNOLOGY Q&A

CONTINUED

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR MY BUSINESS?

Fraud Protection — Chip technology is virtually impossible to copy, and combining its use with a PIN helps reduce fraud due to lost, stolen or counterfeit cards.

Reduced Chargeback Risks — As fraud decreases, so will the amount of customers who dispute transactions.

CHIP TECHNOLOGY QUICK TIPS

CUSTOMERS USING THEIR CHIP CARD FOR THE FIRST TIME

Make sure the card stays in the terminal’s chip reader slot for the duration of the transaction, which ends when the receipt is being printed. If the card is removed before the end of a transaction, the payment will not be processed.

INSERTING THE CARD

The card can be inserted into the terminal’s chip reader slot. Make sure the card is inserted face up, with the chip first.

FOLLOW THE TERMINAL PROMPTS

When processing any type of card, follow the prompts on the terminal display. The terminal will tell you what to do.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE | VERIFONE VX | 23

CHIP TECHNOLOGY QUICK TIPS

CUSTOMER VERIFICATION METHODS

Some customers will carry a chip card that requires a PIN for identity verification, while others may require only a signature. Your terminal will recognize the card and prompt you and the customer to follow the required verification process.

FORGOTTEN OR UNKNOWN PINS

If a customer can’t remember their PIN, they should contact their bank or card issuer to reset the PIN. Ask for another payment method.

DEALING WITH A LOCKED PIN

If a PIN is locked, then the wrong PIN has been entered too many times in a row, rendering the card temporarily unusable. The terminal prompt will tell you whether payment on this card will be accepted using a signature, or whether the customer needs to provide a different method of payment. The customer needs to contact their bank or card company to unlock the PIN. Customer service contact telephone numbers are on the back of most payment cards and on account statements.

DECLINED TRANSACTIONS

There is no change to procedures for declined transactions.

REFUNDS

To process a refund, simply insert the card and proceed with the refund.
