How to Register the Pabau Pay Card Terminal

This article provides step-by-step instructions for registering the Pabau Pay card terminal, an essential process for enabling seamless payment processing within your clinic through your Pabau account.

Step 1: Turn the Reader On and Off

Installing the Battery:

When you first receive the device, install the battery. With the back of the device facing you, lift up from the indentation at the bottom left corner to detach the back cover. Insert the battery by sliding it into the exposed slot with the gold connectors at the top aligned.

Charging the Reader:

After the battery is in place, charge the reader. Use an outlet or the optional Ethernet dock. Connect the reader to power by plugging the provided cable into the port with the lightning bolt symbol.

Powering On:

After the reader is fully charged, hold down the power button on the right-hand side until the screen turns on. Once the device powers on, press the power button to sleep or wake the device.

Powering Off:

To fully power off the device, hold down the power button until the power-off option is shown on the screen. Select the power-off option to turn the device off completely.

Countertop Deployment:

In a countertop deployment, leaving the device on for extended periods is expected. With a full charge, expect the battery to last about eight hours.

Step 2: Accessing Card Terminal Setup

Begin by logging into your Pabau account. Navigate to the Setup section and select Card Terminals under Financials. Then, click on the "Card Terminal" tab on the left.

 

Step 3: Registering the Terminal

To register the terminal, choose the location where it will be used from the available options.

Ensure all fields are completed for the location where you are registering the terminal by navigating to Setup, then Locations. To edit the location's details, hover over it and click on "Edit" on the right.

 Then, enter the terminal code obtained by following the steps below.

Step 4: Obtaining the Terminal Code

To obtain the terminal code, follow these steps:

• Swipe right on the "Stripe" screen of the terminal.
  
  

• Tap on "Settings" and enter the admin PIN by typing the key sequence 0-7-1-3-9.
  
  
• In the Admin options menu, select "Generate pairing code."
  
  
• The terminal will generate a code; enter this code into the "Terminal Code" field in Pabau.
• Optionally, add a label for the terminal to indicate its location within your clinic.
  
  

Step 5: Completing the Registration

Click on "Register" to finalize the registration process. If you have more than one terminal, repeat the registration process for each additional terminal.

Step 6: Check if the Integration is Successful

Upon successful registration, your Pabau Pay card terminal will be connected and displayed in the "Card Terminals" section of the Card Terminals feature in your Pabau account.

Ensure your card terminal is properly connected and working by following this simple guide.
