About Contactless Transactions
The terminal now supports
contactless
transactions—which means a cardholder can simply tap the
terminal with their credit to make a payment.
The contactless functionality uses near field communication (NFC) with payment cards that have an
embedded chip and antenna. Contactless transactions are permitted for purchases of up to EUR 30 or
GBP 30.
A detailed procedure is provided in “Section 3.3.3, Sale—Contactless Transaction,” on page 15.
