Payment Terminals is where you register the card readers in your shop and pair each one with the till it sits beside, so a card sale goes to the right machine without the cashier choosing.
This page covers features gated by Admin-tier permissions — typically Settings access. Admins have these by default; your administrator can adjust who has them in Settings > Team.
Go to Settings > Advanced > Payment Terminals. Each terminal is listed with its label, till, Status and Last seen time, with Edit and Deprovision on the row.

Before you start

Terminals come from your card payment provider, so connect that first. With Dojo connected and switched on, a Sync from Dojo button appears next to Register Terminal and the terminals on your Dojo account can be pulled in with one click. Without it, the page still lets you register a terminal by hand, but nothing can send a payment to it.

Registering a terminal

Click Register Terminal and fill in the screen that opens. Click Register terminal and the row appears in the list. Pair a terminal to a till wherever a counter has its own machine. When a cashier takes a card payment on that till, the amount goes straight to the paired terminal. Leave a terminal unpaired and the cashier picks it from the list at payment time.
A terminal’s location can’t change once it has taken a payment. To move it to another shop, deprovision it and register the device again against the new location.

Syncing terminals from Dojo

Click Sync from Dojo to pull in the terminals on your Dojo account. Any terminal that isn’t in your list yet is registered against your first location, set to Active and left unpaired, with a label made from its terminal ID. Open it with Edit to give it a better label and pair it to a till. Each row’s Status column carries two badges: the status you set, and what Dojo last reported for that terminal. Sync again to refresh the second badge and the Last seen time. A terminal that has dropped off your Dojo account shows Missing rather than disappearing, so you can see it has gone.

Removing a terminal

Click Deprovision on the row and confirm. Cashiers can’t send payments to that terminal any more, and it leaves the list. To take a terminal out of use for a while without removing it, open it with Edit and set Status to Inactive instead.

Common questions

The button only appears once the Dojo integration is connected and switched on under Settings > Advanced > Integrations. See Connecting Dojo.
Open Payment Terminals, click Sync from Dojo, and check the terminal you want shows Active. If it isn’t listed at all, add it with Register Terminal.
One active terminal per provider on each till. To swap the terminal a till uses, set the old one to Inactive or change its paired till, then pair the new one.
Register it again with the same Provider terminal ID and its record comes back. Its location has to match the one it had if it has taken payments before.
