Prerequisites

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

Payment Type(s) are the different ways a customer pays for the purchases made on the Point of Sale terminal. Cash, Credit Card, Gift Card, On Account, Loyalty, Store Credit, etc. are some examples of Payment Types.  

However, at times you may be required to void a payment type. For example while making payment a customer may change his mind and opt for a different payment method. This is simple, as the application allows the cashier to flip to a different payment method in a matter of seconds. 

Please Note: You can only void a Windcavet payment in case where a part payment is made.
