Cash Register Integration

Accepting the card becomes even more simple if your terminal is connected to an existing cash register system. Depending on the type of connection, data can be sent to and from the cash register.

If you have questions regarding our cash register solutions, especially for your own cash register integration, please call our hotline.

For adaptation, the terminals are connected to the cash register via an interface. The amount is transferred automatically from the cash register to the terminal. The authorization and the data transfer are handled via the telephone connection of the terminal. Advantages for the dealer:

• The automated transfer of the amount, avoiding entry errors.
• Time saving, because the amount does not have to be entered in the terminal.
• The daily balance of the cash desk becomes easier.

When integrated the cash register handles a major part of the dealer's functions. It controls the transactions at the terminal. All security related functions (i.e. entry of the PIN code) and the service functions are operated on the terminal. Slip printing is done on the cash register printer and the card reader can be located close to the cash register.

montrada offers you the possibility of putting a large number of terminals into a subsidary network. The modular architecture of terminals allows ISDN or TCP/IP connection at any time by changing the EDI module. Furthermore, several terminals can be linked together to multiple workstations. An integrated interface even allows cash register connection.This can lead to substantial cost savings and reduce the load on the existing telephone switchboard.
