The card machine

Connect your reader so the till charges it — SumUp in Ireland and Spain, Mercado Pago Point and Pix in Brazil.

  1. 1

    The contract and the money are between you and the provider: your own SumUp account and a SumUp Solo reader, or your own Mercado Pago account and a Point. BarbOS only tells the machine what to charge.

  2. 2

    Open Settings → Card machine and follow its steps. SumUp: create an API key in your SumUp account, paste it, and pair the reader. Mercado Pago Point: paste Your Mercado Pago Access Token; a Point is linked to the account in the Mercado Pago app, in integrated (PDV) mode, and then it is listed here on its own.

  3. 3

    At the till, choosing card sends the amount to the reader; the sale is recorded when the reader says it was paid. A sale is never recorded on a payment that did not go through.

  4. 4

    In Brazil, Charge by Pix shows the customer a QR of the amount, through the same Mercado Pago account: they scan it with their bank's app, and the till says when the Pix has arrived.

  5. 5

    Without a connected reader, a card payment is still recorded by hand: take it on your machine and choose card at the till.

  6. 6

    Reports → Card machine lists every payment asked of the machine and what became of it.

We answer by the next working day.
