Chip on PreAuth

Enables/disables the use of chip cards for Pre-Authorization transactions. This parameter does not affect the use of magnetic stripe cards for Pre-Authorization transactions.

On

Off (default)

Note: Many chip cards require a PIN instead of a signature from the cardholder. If a chip and PIN card is used during a Pre-Authorization, the cardholder MUST be present to enter their PIN during the transaction. For this reason, some businesses may wish to disable the use of chip cards for Pre-Authorization transactions. If the Chip on Preauth parameter is set to Off, the "Swipe Card" prompt appears instead of the "Swipe or Insert Card" prompt during a Pre-Authorization and you can swipe the card even if it is a chip card.
