Fast, Flexible In-Person Payments with the A6630
- Exact screens vary by POS/payment app, but the card-present actions follow the same pattern.
- Open your payment or POS app and start a sale (or create an order).
- Enter the amount and tip if prompted, then complete the payment by tapping the card or device for contactless, inserting the card for chip transactions, or swiping the card through the magstripe reader.
- If your app requires PIN entry for debit/Chip & PIN, the customer completes it on-screen (app-dependent).
- Choose receipt delivery (digital or printed via accessory, if enabled).
Receipts, Accessories, and Scalable Setup Options
Unlike terminals with integrated printers, the A6630 is often deployed with digital receipts (email/text) through the POS/payment app. If your workflow requires paper receipts, you can add an optional thermal printer accessory (availability depends on your setup).Â
For multi-device operations, charging can be simplified with USB-C and optional multi-device charging bases.Â
