What to do if BLAZEPAY Terminal Accepts the Payment but BLAZE POS Device Does Not
In rare cases, you may experience a situation where the payment terminal accepts but the payment but this has not been recognized on the BLAZE POS. This is typically a result of network errors at your retail establishment.
If this occurs, you will see the following screen on your POS.
- Click the red "Has the payment completed on the terminal" pop-up
- Enter the "Auth. code" from the receipt that printed on the payment terminal
- This will typically be a 6 digit code (ex: 191888)
- Select submit
- The sale will now be completed on the BLAZE platform with BLAZEPAY as the payment method
