All devices will display an Activation Code (6 or 7 letters and numbers) when setup correctly. After the Activation Code is received, then the configuration can begin for CE Payments with the Clubessential Configuration Team.

Setting Up a Card Reader in Classic POS

Stationary Device

After the Credit Card Readers are configured with CE Payments, POS Devices that will work as a Stationary Device and not roam throughout the Club will need to be configured to work with one specific reader (Often the iPP320 Reader). 

1. First, access System Tools. 

2. Next, select the Utilities tab and then the Credit Card submenu. 

   • From here, link the terminal with the corresponding CE Payments device by selecting Lookup. This will populate all activated devices and users can select which device they would like to function as the default for transactions. 

     • Please Note: Users must search for devices through the Lookup button, they cannot type directly into the CE Payments Device box. 

3. Finally, once the device is selected from the Lookup, select Save Configuration. This will save the device into the registry.

Roaming Tablet

For POS Devices that will work as a Roaming Tablet,

1. Select Prompt for CE Payments Device. 

2. Click Save Configuration and select Yes to the confirmation prompt.

When enabled, this setting will prompt the user to select a credit card reader when settling a ticket.

Please Note: For those using Classic POS, this option should generally not be checked, as the POS systems do not typically move and should be sent to the same Payment Device.

Test Credit Card Transaction in Classic

Next step is to test a Credit Card Transaction. 

Build the Ticket

1. Double click the POS Application to launch the Point of Sale.

2. Select the applicable POS Device. (Eg. F&B GrillPOS).

3. Enter your POS Pin Code (Consult Club Admin if you do not know your code).

4. Depending on the nature of the POS Station, choose Select Table/New Transaction to start a new ticket.

5. If the POS is an F&B Environment choose any table. If Retail, skip this step.

6. Choose Guest to start a guest ticket.

7. Add any item the ticket.

Settle the Ticket

In the POS ordering screen,

1. Select Close Ticket.

2. Select the Credit Card Settlement Type.

3. Select OK (or Print and Done).

   • If this is a Stationary Device configured to work with only one reader, you will move straight to inserting the Card. If this is a Roaming Tablet, select the Reader that is closest to you and then insert the card.

4. Insert the Card.

Additional Gratuity Prompt

This is the 2nd step to processing a Credit Card Transaction and where the user enters any additional gratuity. Remember, ALL Credit Card tickets must complete this step even if they do not have any additional gratuity to add to the ticket.

After the credit card has been swiped/inserted, an authorization is created. If the authorization is successful, the ticket is sent back to the main Open Tickets Tab highlighted in yellow.

In order to complete the transaction and create a credit card capture, select the ticket in yellow and the Gratuity Prompt will populate.
Please note: This step must be completed to fully process the transaction. 

1. Enter the additional Gratuity amount (the user can either use the percentages or manually key in the amount).

2. To print a receipt showing the added tip, select Print settle ticket on close.

3. If there is no tip to add, simply select OK to specify a $0 tip.

4. The ticket can also be Reopened from this screen if necessary.

Click OK to complete the transaction.

Starting a Tab

Charge Tab is used to store the Credit Card on the ticket at the time the ticket is open as opposed to using the card at the end when closing. Mainly used by clubs who allow non-member visits; this allows them to capture the Credit Card information before the sale.

1. Select Charge Tab, and then Insert the card. Please Note: If this is a Set Device configured to work with only one reader, you will move straight to inserting the card. If this is a Roaming Tablet, select the Reader that is closest to you and then insert the card.

2. Proceed to enter the order as normal. When finished, select Close Ticket.

3. Select the Tab Button (located on the keypad under the Exempt button). The Credit Card information is stored on the ticket so you do not need to insert the card again. Click OK to complete the transaction.

4. Select OK (or Print and Done).

Please Note: If you have not inserted the card the Tab button will not appear.

Delete/Refund Credit Card Tickets

The most important thing to remember when attempting to refund a Credit Card ticket is that the ticket must be completely closed first (both settled and 2nd step) before it can be refunded through the POS. This is the only way the deleted transaction will communicate back to the CE Payments.

Select System Tools on the bottom left corner of the main POS screen.

1. Navigate to the Closed Tickets tab.

2. Highlight the ticket.

3. Select Delete. 

4. The user will be prompted, Are you sure you want to delete ticket #XXXXX? Click Yes. This will communicate back to CE Payments and Refund the Ticket.

Refund Debit Card Tickets

Debit card transactions cannot be refunded through the original Ticket. You will need to create a new ticket with negative quantity items and then settle the ticket and enter or swipe the debit card that is to be refunded.

Reopen a Credit Card Ticket

If a user needs to reopen a credit card ticket to make corrections, remember the user cannot use the Credit Card Settlement Button again.

Select System Tools on the bottom left corner of the main POS screen.

1. Navigate to the Closed Tickets tab.

2. Highlight the ticket

3. Select Re-Open. 

4. The user will be warned that all Payments made on this ticket will be erased. Click Yes.

5. Navigate back to the main POS screen, select the reopened ticket, and make the necessary corrections. When finished, select Close Ticket.

6. On the settlement screen, select the Tab button (located on the keypad under the Exempt button). The Credit Card information is stored on the ticket so the user does not need the Credit Card to reclose the ticket.

7. Click OK or Print and Done to reclose the ticket.

Contactless Payments

All CE Payments Card Present Devices are configured for Contactless Payments out of the box. Once the prompt appears on the device to Insert/Swipe the card, hold the Contactless Payment form within a few inches of the device to complete payment.
