Point of sale

Introduction

Peach Payments offers a point of sale (POS) device that enables you to accept in-person payments. For more information, see the Peach Payments website.

Configure MauCAS

The POS device enables Mauritian merchants to accept MauCAS payments.

📘

Before you can accept MauCAS payments, you must first configure the device.

Initial setup

Turn on the POS device

Press the On button. The device attempts to connect to the network.

Connect to Wifi (first startup only)

  1. Wait for the device to display Connecting to the Network.
  2. Press M and + to toggle between Wifi mode and SIM card mode.
    • Put it in Wifi mode (the device broadcasts Wifi Mode).
    • If it displays Please enter SIM card and restart, press M and + again until it displays Wifi Mode.
  3. Press M and - to display Please configure Wifi By Your Mobile Phone.
  4. Press - for a long time until you hear a beep.
  5. Check the available Wifi networks on your laptop. You should see a network that starts with NEXGO.
  6. Select that network. A screen opens to configure your Wifi network name and password.
  7. Once configured, the POS device displays Config Success. Press X to return to the main screen.

Process payments

Start a transaction

  1. Enter the amount (for example, MUR 1.00) and press 0 (the green circle button).
  2. Wait for the customer to complete the payment using their MauCAS app.
  3. Once paid, the POS device displays Transaction Successful.
🚧

If the customer does not complete the payment within 80 seconds, you can check the transaction status manually by pressing 0 (the green circle button) once the customer has finalised the payment.

Start a new payment before the previous payment is finalised

Press X to return to the main screen. You can check the transaction status later on the transaction history screen in case the customer still finalises the transaction.

View transaction history

  1. On the main screen (displaying MUR 0.00), press 0 (the green circle button) and select Transaction History.
  2. Navigate through the transactions using the and buttons.
  3. If a transaction still has a pending state, select it with 0 (the green circle button) and check the status again to see if you've received a Successful or Declined status. This is relevant when you had to close the QR code (for example, for a new customer) while it wasn't paid yet.
  4. The Peach Dashboard shows the transactions and their statuses as well.
  5. On the customer's app, the ID that shows corresponds with the merchant order ID on the Peach Dashboard. This ID doesn't show on the terminal transaction history due to space constraints.

Troubleshooting

  • If the POS device keeps displaying Login..**, restart the POS device by pressing the On button.
  • If there is an error creating the QR code, contact Peach Payments support.
