Depending on the architecture of your site you will choose for a PayPro or PowerPro terminal:
1)
PayPro: Card holders cannot be divided into user groups. All card holders pay the same
price; discounts and budgets cannot be assigned.
2)
PowerPro: Card holders can be divided into user groups, allowing for complex price
differentiation by assigning discounts and budgets per user group. User groups can have
multiple special features, such as free sale, discount or budget. Card holders can also be
divided into cost centres so that billing reports per cost centre can be generated.
The terminals are managed with the software FacilityPro Manager developed by Magna Carta.
With the PayPro module of FacilityPro Manager, the system administrator manages the payment
terminals. He can edit products and prices, put stolen cards on the hotlist and configure and
audit the terminals. The PowerPro module of FacilityPro Manager allows the system
administrator to define user groups and cost centres, so that a complex terminal configuration
can be realised, where user groups may be assigned multiple special features. Transaction data
stored includes the cost centre, allowing for through billing. For further details on FacilityPro
Manager you are referred to the datasheet for this product.
The FacilityPro POS 3000 can communicate with FacilityPro Manager via Ethernet LAN or via
mobile or analogue telephone network using a GSM/GPRS- or PSTN-modem (except SoloPro
terminals). Terminals can also operate stand-alone. Communication with FacilityPro Manager is
then via infrared communication, using a PDA. In some cases additional hardware and/or
software might be necessary, such as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and the COMET software
for communication via infrared, or a modem on the back-office computer for dial-up connection
to a modem. If the FacilityPro POS 3000 is connected to a network the terminals can be
audited and configured automatically at set times.
If Chipknip is accepted at the terminal (footnote 1) the Chipknip payments must be transmitted
to the acquirer Equens. This can be done with the Chipknip module of FacilityPro Manager, a
‘store and forward’ module, which collects the transactions from one or several terminals and
then sends them to Equens in a batch, where they are processed. It is therefore not imperative
to have a telephone line or network connection at every terminal that must accept Chipknip.
Another option is direct transfer of the Chipknip payments from the terminal to Equens using
the built-in Chipknip terminal software. This does require a network connection (TCP/IP or
telephone) certified by Equens.
