EFT card type

In Settings > Interfaces > EFT Card Type the EFT card types are defined. This table is used to reverse lookup the card type used by the guest. The payment completion received from the credit card terminal contains the real card type used by the guest. With this card type, the correct EFT article will be used for the payment.

For example, at check out the front office employee is posting a payment in IDPMS with article PLU 3 (AX), but the guest inserts a Visa card instead. IDPMS receives the EFT Card Type VS. Because this card type is present in the EFT card type table, IDPMS can use the correct payment article and so post VS and not AX.

Example:

If IDPMS receives a card type which does not exist, the message ‘No EFT card type found’ will be displayed. If this happens, the payment article chosen in IDPMS will be used.

For example, the IDPMS user posted PLU VISA, while the guest inserts an American Express (AX). If the card type AX is received, but not set-up in IDPMS the message ‘No EFT card type found’ will be displayed and the payment will be posted as a VISA payment.  Make sure to add the missing card type in IDPMS. The EFT card type is linked to the payment types in IDPMS via this PLU.
