Signatureless Transactions

A “signatureless” transaction is a swiped Purchase for which a customer signature is not required because the amount of the Purchase is equal to or less than a maximum Signatureless Dollar Value (SDV).  The terminal may be configured to print a Merchant copy and/or a Cardholder copy or no receipts at all.

Note:  If your Merchant account is enabled for signatureless transactions, you may configure your terminal so that it does not print a Cardholder copy (or even a Merchant copy) of the receipt for qualifying Purchases.  

If a Merchant Receipt Prints

If a Merchant copy of the receipt prints for a qualifying transaction, the statement "NO SIGNATURE REQUIRED" appears on the receipt instead of a cardholder signature line.

IMPORTANT:  Do NOT obtain a signature, but retain this receipt for your records.

Note: Receipts are always printed for Refunds, Void-Purchases, Void-Refunds or any Cancelled / Declined / Not Completed transaction.  A signature line will appear on receipts for Refunds, Void-Purchases, or Void-Refunds; you or the cardholder will be required to sign a copy of the receipt depending on the type of transaction.

Card Entry Method

Only a Purchase can qualify as a signatureless transaction.  Cards must be swiped on the terminal.  The Purchase amount including all taxes must be equal to or less than the maximum Signatureless Dollar Value of the card type (i.e., MasterCard or Visa).
