Maximum Contactless Dollar Value

Contactless cards can be tapped at the $#.## TAP CARD prompt for an amount (Purchase or Refund) that is equal to or below the maximum Contactless Dollar Value set for the card type.  

• Credit Cards: If a card is tapped on the reader for an amount that exceeds its maximum CDV, the contactless reader will display the CONTACTLESS TRANSACTION LIMIT EXCEEDED message.

• Debit Cards: If a card is tapped on the reader for an amount that exceeds its maximum CDV, the contactless reader will display the TAP FAILED PLEASE INSERT OR SWIPE CARD message.

Note:  The maximum CDV for contactless debit cards is determined by the card and does not appear on any terminal report.   

To determine the maximum CDV for a particular card type:

1. Print a terminal Configuration report ...and locate the card's CVM Limit parameter, which is found in the CVM LIMITS section near the bottom of the report.  

* Purchase amount, including taxes, must be equal to or less than the $ value.
