EMV Terminals

Emv Terminals

Purpose and when to use this record

Configure the processor terminal identity used for card-present payments and assign it to the correct user or workstation.

At a glance

• Identify it by: Name, and Pairing Code.

• Why care: Customer, source document, amount, authorization, processor status, and settlement are separate controls. Verify all of them before retrying or treating a payment as complete.

Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on emv terminals. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

Create an EMV Terminal

Creating a terminal is an external action: the first save asks the configured provider to register the hardware. Have the physical device, serial number, processor account, and pairing information ready before you begin.

1. Use a Name that identifies the business location and register, such as “Front Counter 1,” not only the hardware model.
2. Record the serial number and, where used, MAC address so staff can match Brisk to the device in hand.
3. Select the correct Payment Provider and enter only the gateway hardware ID or pairing code supplied for this device.
4. Enable EMV, NFC, tip adjustment, and PIN debit only when both the hardware and business workflow support them.
5. Save once and verify the provider registration before assigning the terminal to a user or workstation.

If registration times out, check the processor portal before recreating the record; the first request may have registered successfully.

Delete an EMV Terminal

Delete this EMV Terminal only if it is an unused duplicate or setup mistake. Once other records refer to it, preserve that history and make the value inactive when the screen provides that option.

On the confirmation page, verify Name, and Pairing Code. After confirmation, return to the EMV Terminals list and make sure only the intended EMV Terminal was removed.

Review EMV Terminal details

Use the detail page as the shared record of what this EMV Terminal currently means. Verify Payment Provider before relying on it for a decision.

Compare the EMV Terminal with its source document or approved setup request before deciding that it needs correction.

Next check: Assign the terminal to the intended user or workstation, run a controlled test transaction, and reconcile its processor identity before live use.

Edit an existing EMV Terminal

Saving an existing terminal sends its EMV, NFC, tip-adjust, and PIN-debit configuration to the registered gateway device. Compare the Brisk gateway ID and physical serial number first; do not repurpose a historical terminal record for different hardware. After changing capabilities, run a controlled low-risk test and confirm both the Brisk result and processor transaction before taking customer payments.

Find and review emv terminals

Use the Emv Terminals list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare Name, and Pairing Code. Compare the full identifier rather than relying on a similar name.

Open the EMV Terminal whose Name, and Pairing Code match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck Payment Provider rather than creating a replacement immediately.

What happens next

Assign the terminal to the intended user or workstation, run a controlled test transaction, and reconcile its processor identity before live use.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

• The record will not save: Recheck Name and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

• The values look right but the result is wrong: Compare this EMV Terminal with the source document or approved setup decision, then check the downstream screen where it is used.
