The Embedded Contactless Reader

The VX 820 terminal (and external PINpad, if equipped) feature a contactless card reader embedded into the touchscreen. In a contactless transaction, the customer taps a contactless card on the screen (thus on the embedded contactless reader) instead of swiping or inserting it.

Note: If you wish to use the embedded contactless reader, it needs to be enabled on the Moneris host. Once enabled on the host, you need to re-initialize your terminal.

Note: Your ability to accept contactless cards is based on your merchant agreement with Moneris. The merchant agreement effects whether the embedded contactless reader is enabled or disabled on the Moneris host.

Contactless Transactions Allowed

Contactless cards can be tapped on a contactless reader for credit Purchases and Refunds only if the amount is at or below the maximum Contactless Dollar Value (CDV).

Maximum Contactless Dollar Value (CDV)

To determine the maximum CDV for a card, print the EMV Parameters report and locate the Contactless Trans Limit parameter under the report's record for the card. A CDV of 9999 means there is no maximum limit.
