Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a single terminal for taking both integrated and Pay at Table payments?
Not without changing between integration modes. We recommend using more than one terminal for payments at the POS and at the table.
Can I have a mixed setup of terminals that are integrated and Pay@Table?
Absolutely!
Can I limit who can perform a Pay@Table?
Not without limiting them from basic POS abilities.
How do customer receipts work with Pay@table?
When a transaction is completed using Pay@Table on a Tyro terminal the Tyro terminal itself will print an EFTPOS receipt as well as prompt to print a merchant copy.
POS Receipts for Pay@Table orders are not printed automatically but can be printed by navigating to via the POS history, finding the order and selecting Reprint receipt.
How does surcharging work with Pay@table?
If you are using Tyro's dynamic surcharging, once the customer taps their card they will see the total amount transacted. So be sure to let customers know if you are using this feature and that there will be an additional charge so they are not confused after they tap their card.
If you are using POS adjustments, the total amount will show before the customer taps their card.
Can I use Tyro's Pay@table if my tables have letters in the table names, e.g B1, B2, B3, B4?
No. To use Tyro's Pay@table feature your table names must only use numbers.
