Introduction

Elavon Payment Processor  plugin is a software module that seamlessly integrates with Tagrain POS and allows you to offer a quick, seamless and secure payment experience to your customers. Once set up, cashiers can take credit and debit card payments from customers at the POS using the Elavon Payment Device. This integration helps your cashier by removing the need to manually enter the amount and card details at the POS.

Prerequisites

The only prerequisite to collect credit and debit card payments using Elavon is to add Elavon as a payment type in Tagrain.  

Steps to perform sale using multiple credit/debit cards

Scan a few products to the transaction grid and click the Pay button to reach the Payment screen. 

On the Payment screen, you should see Elavon listed as one of the payment methods.

Click the Elavon button, to receive the credit/debit card payment via the Elavon payment processor. 

To demonstrate sales using multiple cards, we are going to split the payment. We are going to pay the total using different payment methods.

Let’s assume that the customer pays $25 using one card and $50 using another. The balance is paid in cash. 

Edit the Amount to Pay field and specify $25. This amount will be paid via the Credit / Debit Card using the Elavon Payment Device.  

Edit the Amount to Pay field again and specify $50. This amount will be paid via the Credit / Debit Card using the Elavon Payment Device.  

The balance amount of $82.66 is paid using Store Credit and Cash. The same reflects on the transaction receipt. 

Transaction Receipts

In the scenario that we just mentioned, where the payment has been made using 2 different credit cards, the application will print the following receipts:

• Sale transaction receipt (Consolidated)

• Multiple credit / debit card transaction receipts (one for each card)

A screenshot of the transaction receipt is shown below:

A screenshot of the credit / debit transaction receipt is shown below:

In a separate article on Web Register, we mentioned that the Recent Sales tile is used to view a list of all recent sale transactions performed. Navigate to Recent Sales and expand a transaction where Elavon was used as a Payment Method.

You will notice that Elavon is listed as a Tender Type and this entry appears twice. This is because the customer has paid using 2 different credit cards. He has paid $50 using one card and $35 using another. So for Elavon these are 2 separate transactions.
