How do I process a payment?


If you need to take a payment and you are unable to access Sage 50 Accounts then you can process the payment directly through your VSP Terminal. Futher information on processing payments through VSP Terminal can be found by downloading our VSP Admin User Guide.


To process a payment you will need to be logged in to VSP Admin and you will also need to ensure that you have granted the VSP Terminal access privilege to the 'User' that you intend to use to perform the payment.


Once logged into VSP Admin, look for the image - VSP Terminal button button and click it to enter the VSP Terminal payment screen


You will then be presented with a screen asking you to enter various details about the transaction you are about to perform (see screenshot below).

You will need to ensure that all the fields that are NOT marked "optional" are completed, including entering the amount you wish to take and also the customer's name.


Once you are happy you have provided the necesary information click the image - VSP Admin Proceed button button


You will now be presented with a new screen where you will need to enter the details of the credit / debit card being used to take payment (see screenshot below).

The Payment request will then be sent to your acquiring bank for authorisation and the result will be retuned as 'Authorised' or 'Declined' (see screenshot below).

Once the payment has been sent for bank authorisation, depending on whether it was 'Authorised' or 'Declined', it will appear in VSP Admin under 'Authorised Transactions' if the payment was successful or under the 'Failed Transactions' section if the payment was declined.


The below screenshot shows the payment, performed above, in the 'Authorised Transactions' section of the VSP Admin account.
