Host Merchant Services Helps You Validate Your First Transaction

Host Merchant Services helps validate key setup details before deployment to prevent delays and rework. This starts with selecting the correct connectivity option. If the terminal will use Ethernet, the cable run and network drop at the counter should be confirmed in advance. If wireless or cellular backup is required, the appropriate Desk 5000 hardware configuration must be sourced to meet the deployment requirements.

We confirm receipt of paper requirements before supplies are ordered. The Desk 5000 uses 58 mm (2¼-inch) thermal paper rolls, with a paper cage size of 58 mm by 40 mm. Verifying this upfront avoids ordering incompatible paper and prevents interruptions at the counter.

We also recommend running a test sale and verifying settlement timing. Many environments use automated settlement, and HMS aligns the batch close time with business operations so deposits, reports, and daily totals match the merchant’s accounting day.
