If the PMS 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 the PMS will be used.
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 the PMS, using article PLU 3 (AX), but the guest inserts a Visa card instead. The PMS receives the EFT Card Type VS. Because this card type is present in the EFT card type table, the PMS can use the correct payment article and so post VS and not AX.
Example:
If the PMS 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 the PMS will be used.
For example, the PMS user posted PLU VISA, while the guest inserts an American Express (AX). If the card type AX is received, but not set-up in PMS 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 the PMS. The EFT card type is linked to the Payment Types in PMS via this PLU.
For example American Express:
