Payment terminals for business - a card reader at the counter
Register your physical card reader - Nayax, Dejavoo or Tranzila - and take payment with it at the register, for a booking deposit hold, or directly on the device the app runs on.
What a payment terminal is in Lynxbe
A payment terminal is the physical card reader at the register - today Nayax (including the F20 model), Dejavoo (the Q3 model) and Tranzila are supported. You register it once for the business, with a provider and a connection type: local network (LAN), the Lynxbe app running directly on the terminal (F20 or Q3), or Nayax Spark in the cloud. Once registered, the reader shows up as a device choice on the charge screens - checkout or booking deposit hold - and three actions that talk to the device itself (connection check, retailer check and end-of-day settlement) go straight from the app to the reader's local address, never through Lynxbe's servers.
What a payment terminal actually does
Register a card reader per branch
Add a reader with a provider - Nayax, Tranzila or Dejavoo - and a connection type: a local network address, the app running directly on the terminal, or Nayax Spark in the cloud. Every reader belongs to one business and to role permissions, and more than one reader can be registered at once.
Charge by card at checkout with a terminal receipt
At checkout, pick card payment and the app sends the amount to the registered reader, showing a terminal receipt with the transaction number once approved. If the business has more than one reader, a device picker opens first.
The app itself as the card reader
When the app runs directly on a Nayax F20 or Dejavoo Q3 terminal, no extra network reader is needed - checkout charges on the device it is running on, and the checkout screen detects this and defaults to it.
Card deposit hold for a booking
Bookings can place a card deposit hold through Nayax Spark - freezing an amount without charging it yet - and later complete the actual charge or cancel the hold if the booking falls through.
Connection check and end-of-day settlement at the reader
The reader management screen offers a connection check, a retailer check, and a settle-transactions action that runs the day's approved transactions against the card company. All three go straight from the app to the reader's local address, not through our server.
Several readers, one device picker
Register several card readers for the business. At the register and for deposit holds a picker lists every reader and you choose which device takes the payment. Viewing and managing readers is controlled by role permissions.
