Symptoms

  • Card/Cash payment request cannot be sent

  • Cash machine does not respond

  • Payment terminal does not receive the transaction

  • Payment remains pending or fails to start after selection

  • No reaction from the payment device after confirming payment


Common Causes & Checks

1. Network Connectivity Issue (Most Common Cause)

Payment devices must be on the same network as the POS tablet.

This applies to:

  • Card terminals

  • Cash machines

Check the following:

  • Verify the Wi-Fi network of the POS tablet

  • Ensure the card terminal or cash machine is connected to the same network

  • If the device uses Ethernet, verify the cable is properly connected

  • Ensure the payment device has an active network connection

If the tablet and payment device are on different networks, payment requests cannot be sent.


2. Payment Device Powered Off or Disconnected

  • Ensure the card terminal or cash machine is powered on

  • Check that the device is not in standby or sleep mode

  • Verify all power and network cables are connected


After Fixing the Issue

  • Retry the payment

  • The payment request should be sent immediately

  • Restart the payment device if necessary


Notes

  • Network mismatches are the most common cause of payment issues

  • Payment failures do not cancel or remove the order

  • If needed, an alternative payment method can be used temporarily
