The terminal ID is an 8-digit identifier associated with one or more card types and/or the point-of-sale device or application through which a financial transaction was initiated. The terminal ID displays as a line item on the "Transaction details" page of every approved/declined transaction except for cash transactions (see Transaction details).
A debit/credit terminal ID can be assigned to only one device/application at a time. Therefore, this ID can also denote the point-of-sale device or application through which the transaction was initiated as described in the table below. Conversely, a gift terminal ID is variable and may be assigned to multiple point-of sale devices/applications.
Note: The "Transaction details" page includes additional information about a transaction that can help you to identify the point-of-sale device or application through which the transaction was initiated.
