As a Moniepoint-powered business, your Enterprise resource planning (ERP) system can send purchase transaction details to Moniepoint POS terminals for payment processing. This feature will help streamline your sales process and make it easier for your customers to make payments for purchases. You can accept payments using debit cards by integrating your ERP software (like Retailman) with Moniepoint POS terminals via Serial Port.
Get started with your integration
Prerequisites
Here are the tools you need before starting.
A Moniepoint POS terminal (supported app version is 1.7.0 or higher)

Establishing a Connection Using the Serial Port Communications Protocol
Highlighted below are instructions for establishing a connection between the payment terminal and an ERP system using the serial port communications protocol.
How it works
The ERP system needs to be configured to communicate with the POS terminal using the serial port. This typically involves establishing a connection between the two devices using a serial communication protocol. Once the connection has been established, the ERP system can send the transaction details to the POS terminal over the serial port.
...
The POS terminal processes the payment using the transaction details and returns a response indicating the transaction’s outcome to the ERP system. The ERP system can complete the sale and update any necessary records or databases.
Setting up
Step one: Connect the serial cable
...
Configure communication with the terminal based on the ERP software you are using. Once the connection is verified, you can test with the Moniepoint POS Terminal.
