Integrate your Go terminal with Go Restaurant - Cloud mode
 |
In order to accept payments through the Go Restaurant application on your tablet, you must integrate your Moneris Go terminal with the Go Restaurant POS using cloud integration mode.
What is cloud mode or cloud payment? It is a type of payment integration in which the Go Restaurant app on your tablet is connected to your Moneris Go terminal through the Moneris cloud. In this payment integration, you enter takeout orders using the Go Restaurant app on your tablet. The tablet app sends the payment request information to your Go terminal through the Moneris cloud. Your customer views the payment prompts on the terminal and uses the terminal to enter a payment card. The terminal sends payment information back to the tablet so that the tablet app knows how much has been paid and how much is still owing.
This topic explains how to set up your Moneris Go terminal to communicate with the Moneris Go app on your tablet where you will be entering orders and managing payments. This payment integration applies to quick service where customers place an order at the counter and pay immediately.
Make sure the terminal is located close to the tablet on which you will be entering orders and managing payments. Follow each section of this topic to set up cloud payment.

The terminal is in stand-alone mode by default unless you change it to cloud mode.
