Setup Credit Card Terminals

To add physical credit card terminals to KometPayments, you need to create a location. Terminal locations are separate from Komet locations and multi-location companies. Using locations for terminals helps you manage multiple readers across various sites and ensures they download the right regional configurations.

If you are using physical credit card terminals, do the following instructions to add them to your system:

  1. Go to Setup and select Settings.

  2. Click on Credit Card Terminals from the Company group of settings.

  3. Click on Add Terminal Location. The terminal’s location must be inside of the US or the system will not be able to activate it.

  4. Fill out the form and click on Save.

For Multi-Location Companies

Credit card terminals are managed per location from the Setup>Settings>Locations screen.
