Introduction

Windcave 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 Windcave 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 Windcave is to add Windcave as a payment type in Tagrain.  

Steps to perform sale using multiple credit/debit cards

The steps to perform a sale using multiple credit / debit cards is no different than a sale made using a single credit / debit card. The only difference between the 2 is that on the former you are making use of more than one credit / debit card to make the payment. 

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 Windcave listed as one of the payment methods.

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

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

Let’s assume that the customer pays $10.00 using one card and $8.67 using another. 

Edit the Amount to Pay field and specify $10. This amount will be paid via the Credit / Debit Card using the Windcave Payment Device.  

The payment authorisation request is sent to the Windcave Device mapped to your POS register. Ask the customer to insert, tap, or swipe the EMV card on the Windcave Payment Device and then enter the PIN and authorise the payment.

Since we have split the payment the application would take you back to the payments screen to collect the remaining amount.

Edit the Amount to Pay field again and specify $8.67. This amount will be paid via the Credit / Debit Card using the Windcave Payment Device.  

The payment authorisation request is sent to the Windcave Device mapped to your POS register. Ask the customer to insert, tap, or swipe the EMV card on the Windcave Payment Device and then enter the PIN and authorise the payment.

The split payment made reflects on two places:

On the Recent Sales screen

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 Windcave was used as a Payment Method.

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