Overview

This article describes how to configure Heartland Retail to use the PAX S920 device to process payments. The PAX S920 is supported only by Heartland Payment processing.

To function properly, the PAX S920 must be loaded with a Special PAXStore template for Heartland Retail.

We recommend you make any adjustments to the device at the PAXStore level to ensure that, if the device’s firmware is ever updated or changed, those updates will include the site-specific settings. If you do not set them at the PAXStore level, your settings will be overwritten by any downloads.

Prerequisites

  • You must add an S920 SKU to an opportunity in Salesforce.

  • The merchant account must have a Heartland Processing MID in Salesforce to complete the order.

  • The merchant must be processing with Heartland Payments Systems.

PAX devices are set up in BroadPOS or PAXStore with a pre-configured template for Heartland Retail. We recommend you make any adjustments to the device at the BroadPOS/PAXStore level to ensure that, if the device’s firmware is ever updated or changed, those updates will include the site-specific settings. If you do not set them at this level, your settings will be overwritten by any downloads.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the PAX device, please email them to paxsupport@e-hps.com, or call 1.888.909.8498.

Other Features

Payment Signature Capture

> When connected with PAX S920 devices via Heartland processing, signature-capture will be enabled by default. If you do not wish to use this feature, go to the Settings -> Location -> Station page at each station to disable the setting.

> Once you capture the signature on the PAX device, it will be stored with the transaction and will display it in the following areas:

  • Under the payments section when viewing a completed Sales Ticket

  • Under the payments section on a Sales Order

Customer-Facing Display

The PAX S920 can be used as a customer-facing display. In order to access this functionality, you must enable the Customer-Facing Display setting on the device.

Once you have configured the device, configure in Heartland Retail as described:

> Go to the Point of Sale screen and select the menu icon (displayed as ≡) located in the upper left corner.

> Go to Settings to open the connect app. The Customer Display Device dropdown will automatically display a list of all connected devices that support this feature.

> Select your device from the list to enable Customer Display.
