   1. Select the .CARD Payment Method from the top of the Payment Methods list.

      If this is the first use of the .CARD Payment Method,
      Choose a terminal when prompted to Set Default Card Terminal.
      EXACT will by default use this terminal for payments from this current workstation.
      You need to repeat this procedure for all workstations where practitioners will take card payments:

      
      
      If you attempt to continue without adding a default card terminal you will be prompted:

      

      
      

   3. EXACT starts sending the payment to the terminal but you still have the option to Cancel it:

      

      
      

4. When you see a prompt to Please present card, the system is waiting for card payment so you can use the patient card on the terminal.

   

   
   

5. Dip or swipe the card and ask the patient to type their PIN.

   

   If you delay too long the transaction will Time Out!
   
   

   
   

   You will see successive messages:

   

   

   

   
   

   Checking signatures: Some cards require that you check the patient signature against that on the card. Catering to these cards requires an additional procedure where you remove the card and confirm when the patient signs a sample.

   This starts with an instruction to remove the card: Image Modified Then you will be prompted to confirm the signature: Image Modified Ask the patient to sample-sign and compare the signature to that on the patient card. If in order, click the Yes button to continue. If you cannot confirm, and click No, EXACT will reverse the payment rather than finalise it, and you will see this message: Image Modified ... followed by Image Modified This initial payment and subsequent reversal is on the machine itself so EXACT does not track the transaction.

   
   

   
   

   

   

   
   

   The Payment Succeeded screen displays when the card terminal successfully processes the payment.

   Some card terminals will automatically print a receipt at this point.

   If your card terminal does not auto-print you have the option to Print Merchant Receipt for the practice and/or Print Customer Receipt for the patient (the merchant receipt has additional information such as transaction ID and patient card number):

   

   Transaction ID:
   The part in brackets is assigned by the terminal itself. The remainder of the number is incremented after each transaction, to match the number printed on the docket from the card machine.

   
   

   [30000006]	TXN000103
   Terminal number	Incremented docket number

   
   

   
   

   Stored: The Card Provider details and the Transaction ID are stored.

   
   

6. Print or reprint from the terminal (some forms of card processors do not automatically print customer receipts).

   This is a docket printout from the card terminal, not an EXACT printout.

   Ask the customer if they require a receipt. If YES, select Print Customer Receipt.

   Print Merchant Receipt if your practice requires it. This has information that the patient does not see such as Transaction ID and card number.

   NOTE: The terminal only remembers the last transaction, so you cannot print historical receipts from this window.

   
   

7. Select Close.

   You will see the EXACT Payment menu:

   

   These are EXACT printouts, not docket printouts from the card terminal.

8. Print any receipts or statements as required.
