Because who doesn't love turning their phone into a card machine?
🚀 Part 1: Setting Up the SoftPOS App
1. Download the Magic App
Go to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and search for PAY.POS. Download it like it's the hottest new game in town.
2. Summon Your Activation Code
Open the app and tap "Or use activation code" — yes, that mysterious little line. Your phone now holds the key to payment greatness.
3. Hop into the Novotix Dashboard
On your desktop/laptop/space station:
- Log in to your Novotix dashboard.
- Head to the left-hand menu and click on "Onsite Tools".
- Look for the card titled "In-person payments" and click "Open settings" like you're opening a treasure chest.
4. Add Your Phone as a Terminal (Yes, really!)
- Hit "Add Terminal" (top right corner).
- Select the Service Location where you’ll use your phone as a terminal.
- Enter the Activation Code from Step 2.
- Give your terminal a fancy name (like “Captain Tap” or “Cardzilla”) and a short description for interal use.
- Click "Create".
5. Back to the App – It’s Activation Time!
Return to the PAY SoftPOS app and tap "Activate".
6. You’re All Set!
Congratulations! Your phone is now a legit payment terminal. Who needs a card machine when you’ve got a phone and some swagger?
đź’° Part 2: Receiving Card Payments Like a Pro
1. Optional But Nice
Want to keep things organized? Add a description and reference for the transaction (helps with reporting later). Or don’t — we won’t judge.
2. Enter the Amount
Type in the amount due. Then press that mysterious right arrow (→) — it’s cooler than it looks.
3. Tap & Pay Time
Your phone will now politely ask the customer to hold their card (debit, credit, or whatever works) against the back of your phone. Like magic, but with NFC.
4. Send That Receipt
Once the payment is a success, you’ll have the option to email the receipt. Super handy if someone’s collecting expenses.
5. You Did It! 🎉
You’ve successfully received your first card payment using just your phone. Now give yourself a high five (just maybe not with the hand holding the phone).
