- Click the '+' button on the top right and enter the details.
- POS (1) - this is the client ID set in your Worldline/Six account.

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 to set 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 Saferpay Secure PayGate 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)
Bancontact card configuration
Bancontact card is a popular payment method in Belgium. To offer this payment method to your guests, please make sure that the following configuration is done in your WorldLine account:
- Bancontact card must added ONLY to your Worldline Secure PayGate terminal.
- Ensure that Bancontact card is NOT added to your Phone-Mail and eCommerce terminals
Important: Please follow the above instructions strictly if you want to offer Alternative Payment methods. Failing to do so, may cause issues with such payment methods, e.g. payment might be taken from the guest account, but no booking will be created in Clock PMS+.
Once done, when guests need to make a 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.
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.
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.
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.
