What Are The Benefits? ▲ ▼
Card Masking is necessary for swiftpos to be able to easily recognise and identify the type of barcode/card/QR Code/etc being entered/scanned/swiped at a Touch terminal, so that it can appropriately action the required processing associated necessary. For example, a Member's card, a Voucher, a Gift Card, a Product's Barcode, etc.
To Be Considered ▲ ▼
- If no Card Masking is configured for a Peripheral, then when a barcode is scanned the default type for Product scanning will be assumed.
- To ensure Card Masking is ignored, then ensure that the Card Masking type is set to Ignore scan to ensure the card being scanned is ignored.
Notes...
This can be useful to ensure a TAB is ignored when scanned in a Venue's Location where TABs cannot be used.
What Is Required? ▲ ▼
- The chosen Peripheral will need to be configured at the Touch terminal to which it is connected.
How To Configure Card Masking? ▲ ▼
In general, the following applies when setting the Card Masks to one of the above Peripherals. In the How To example below, Card Masking is being configured for swiftpos Vouchers:
