Tendering with Tempus PaymentMate

Note
For OnlineBill Release 1.1 or higher, please refer to the OnlineBill Configuration Guide on E-Support.
If your company has a contract with Tempus Technologies, the system uses the Tempus PaymentMate payment gateway and Smart Node software to process the transfer of funds from your customer's account to your company's account when you tender a sale or a bill payment.

E-Pay, POS tendering (for wireless), OnlineBill tendering, and Accounts Receivable batch files all use the Tempus payment gateway to process the following tender types:

Credit Card
E-Check
E-Check Manual Deposit
Warrantied Paper Check
PIN/Debit

General Notes

Blind credits to bank accounts cannot be made using Tempus. You must apply a credit using a different business process, such as an adjustment.

Tempus handles all integration with magnetic strip readers (MSR), magnetic ink character recognition scanners (MICR), and signature capture devices via its PaymentMate Smart Node.

If the Smart Node is not active, you can enter the data using standard IDI platform windows. The setting to enable/disable the Smart Node is located in POS Back Office. See Tempus PaymentMate Configuration.
