Terminals
Along with the above settings, you will also need to add your physical terminal/s details in the interface configuration.
- In Clock PMS+ go to menu Settings->All Settings->Payment Processing->Six Payments->click the 'Terminals' button on the top.
- Click the '+' button on the top right and enter the details.
- POS (1) - this is the client ID set in your Worldline/Six account.
- Name (2) - this is the name of the terminal which you will see in Clock PMS+. This will be extremely helpful in cases you operate with several terminals, as the name will give you an indication of which is which e.g. 'Handheld terminal'; 'Front desk terminal'; 'Backup terminal'.
Note: In most cases, the devices you purchase from Worldline/Six will arrive configured and you simply need to connect them to the local network and power. However, in case you receive a non-configured terminal, please use the attached file - Hospitality Setup description cCredit Gateway EN V 1.4 - to configure it or alternatively, reach out to cCredit support for assistance.
Alternative payment methods
With Worldline/Six you can offer your guests various methods of payment, not strictly with a card. These vary from different online banking solutions to 'wallet' apps. You will need to first have those configured in your Worldline/Six account. Please consult with your Worldline/Six representative for setting those up.
Once done, follow these steps in Clock PMS+:
- Settings->All Settings->Payment processing->Six Payments->section Alternative payment methods.
- Payment page - terminal (1) - enter the payment page terminal ID that is set up in Worldline/Six to handle these alternative payment methods.
- Payment page payment methods (2) - select which alternative payment methods you will use/offer.
- enable the Payment page function (3)
Once done, when guests need to make payment, they will have the option to choose:
- pay with a card, in which case they directly enter the details in the form and proceed
- pay with an alternative method, in which case they will be redirected to a page hosted by Worldline/Six and proceed with completing the payment through the alternative method.
Note: Since such alternative methods do not involve credit/debit cards, you will not receive a credit card (token) in the booking.
When you have completed the configurations of the modules you will use, select the Currency in which payment amounts will be sent to Worldline/Six and mark the connection Live.
Finalizing configuration
Once the above is completed, navigate to Clock PMS+ menu Settings->All Settings->Payment processing->Credit Card and select the following:
- In the section Payment Service Provider, select SixPayments from the dropdown menu (1).
- Select if you will require guests to enter CSV code when entering card details (2).
- Select if you require guests to enter their Address when entering card details (2).
- Check the selections in section 'Accepted Credit Cards' and update them if needed (3).
Finally, you need to set your Guarantee options with the correct payment service.
- Go to menu Settings->All Settings->Bookings->Guarantee policy
- edit your guarantee options and select 'Credit Card tokenization/payment' as a payment service.
Important: Successful transactions will automatically be posted to the folios.
Configuring in Clock POS
Settings are done from the menu Management->Six Payments and the process is identical as the one in Clock PMS+.
However, you only need to configure cCredit and add the terminal (device) information.
