CivicPlus requires chip readers (EMV) and magnetic stripe readers to be purchased directly from the payment gateway provider. CivicPlus team members will provide customers with configuration settings necessary for their payment terminal, as well as IP and port information for their firewall, and can assist with troubleshooting API connectivity. However, CivicPlus Support does not troubleshoot terminal errors from your payment terminal. Those errors should be reported to your IT department, payment gateway provider, or hardware manufacturer.
Important Note
All integrated payment gateways do not allow for the use of unencrypted plain swipers.
Disclaimer
CivicPlus does not formally endorse or require the purchase or use of a specific device; however, many CivicPlus customers find success using the devices mentioned in this article, dependent on the gateway.
