If an optional modular contactless reader is connected to the Vx810 Duet terminal and your merchant account is configured for it, you can process transactions with contactless cards. Customers can simply tap or wave their card in front of a contactless reader and a transaction is completed in seconds with no signature verification or PIN entry.
The Vx810 Duet supports four Contactless Programs: Visa payWave, MasterCard PayPass, American Express ExpressPay and Interac Flash.
To process a transaction with a contactless card, look for the Visa payWave, MasterCard PayPass, American Express ExpressPay or Interac Flash logo. When prompted, the customer taps the card on the contactless reader where the Contactless logo is located.
The card does not need to touch the reader but must be within 0.5 in. (1.1 cm) of it. The card must be tapped or waved by itself (e.g., the customer cannot leave the card in their wallet and wave it in front of the reader).
If the card does not work or is unsupported:
If the card is also a chip card, insert it into the chip card reader.
If that doesn’t work, try swiping the card on the magnetic stripe card reader (look for the magnetic stripe).
