PAR Pay EMV Setup Guide

Revision 04

Overview

PAR Pay is a unique payment processing service that is owned and operated by PAR and is fully integrated into PAR POS. Payment devices are purchased from PAR and come pre-configured with all the necessary information to begin processing order payments right away.

Settings Editor Configuration

The following settings need to be set in Settings Editor before PAR Pay can process credit card and gift card payments:

Payment Devices

To set up a new Payment Device:

1. Navigate to the Payment Devices page
2. Click the Add button to open the Edit Payment Device dialog
3. Select PAR Pay from the Model dropdown
4. If using PAR Pay for gift cards, select Integrated from the Gift Card Mode dropdown — if not, the selection may be left at [None]

Registers

To configure each register:

1. Navigate to the Peripherals tab on the Registers page
2. Select PAR Pay from the Payment Device dropdown at the bottom of the tab
   IMPORTANT: This must be done for every register.

Tenders

Tenders must be created for all types of credit cards accepted as well as debit transactions. If you are using PAR Pay for gift cards, a tender must be created for gift card transactions as well:

1. Navigate to the Edit Tender dialog
2. Select the appropriate Tender Type and Card Type from the provided dropdowns
3. Ensure the Active checkbox is checked for all tenders

Layout

Only one button with the 'Payment Device' behavior needs to be created for both credit card and debit card transactions.

To add a Payment Device button:

1. Navigate to Settings Editor > Layout

2. Select the desired panel from the panels list

3. Select Button from the dropdown at the top of the panel screen
   

4. Click the Add New Control button to the right of the dropdown
   

5. Size and style the button as desired

6. Select Payment Device from the Behavior dropdown
   

7. Enter desired display text for the button in the Text field

Credit Draft Options

The only settings on the Printing > Credit tab on the Options page that apply to PAR Pay are the Draft and Suggested Tip options on the left. No other Options settings apply.

If you do not wish to print Credit Drafts:

1. Navigate to Options > Payment > Credit Options > Set Minimum Printing Threshold
2. Set the value to desired dollar amount
3. Check Card Present checkbox

A customer can dip, swipe, tap or manually enter their card to pay for their order and the Merchant Copy receipt(s) will only print if the set threshold has been exceeded.

Firewall Ports

For PAR Pay to work properly, network hardware must have certain ports in the firewall open for outbound traffic. The ports defined below should be defined with 'outbound' rules/services on the firewall.

CCT Communication Type	Map to	Mx	Ingenico
PAR POS PAR Pay	Set LAN user to static IP address of each PAR POS register	TCP Port: 8030	TCP Port: 8030
CCT Software Downloads	Set LAN user to range of CCT static IP addresses	TCP Port: 22	TCP Port: 990 and 64000 to 64500
CCT Transaction Processing	Set LAN user to range of CCT static IP addresses	TCP Port: 443	TCP Port: 443

Unblocked List

For managed firewalls, the following need to be unblocked:

Production Firewall Outbound Rules/Services for PAR Pay Software Downloads

Device Type	Primary	Secondary	Port
Verifone Devices	Pos1.auruspay.com / 198.22.206.246	pos41.auruspay.com / 209.236.103.68	TCP: 22
Ingenico Devices	Pos1.auruspay.com / 198.22.206.246	pos41.auruspay.com / 209.236.103.68	Active Mode: TCP: 990 Passive Mode: TCP: 64000 - 64500

Installing Windows Service for USB Payment Devices

1. Follow all steps in the above "Settings Editor Configuration" section except Firewall Settings.
2. Download Verifone PARPay USB AESDK .exe Build zip from the PAR POS Downloads page and find the batch file named AESDKCleanInstall.bat
3. Run the batch file as an Administrator.
4. Once installed, navigate to Task Manager > Services tab and ensure the "AurusEnterpriseSDK" service is running.
5. Plug in the PAR Pay USB device to begin using for transactions
   • NOTE: Ensure the device is connected through USB — it will not work if connected through TCP.

Troubleshooting

If the Windows service is installed at a location where TCP is used instead of USB, the PAR Pay device will not work. Two corrective actions may be taken to fix this issue:

1. Uninstall the Windows service "AurusEnterpriseSDK" and restart the register to begin using a TCP PAR Pay device

2. Change the config file automatically installed with the Windows service:

   1. Locate the AurusEnterpriseSDK.exe.config file in the same location in which the service was installed (common path = \AurusInc\AurusEnterpriseSDK)
   2. Open the config file and locate the "POSMODE" parameter — change the value from "2" to "1" if using a TCP-based device
   3. Update the "CCTDEVICECODE" parameter based on device type:

   Device Type	CCTDEVICECODE
   Verifone Mx915/Mx925	16
   Ingenico	9
   Verifone P400	20

   4. Update the "ISOLDSTDSDK" parameter based on device type:

   Device Type	ISOLDSTDSDK
   Verifone Mx915/Mx925	1
   Ingenico	1
   Verifone P400	0

   5. Save the config file, restart the service, and restart the register
   6. The PAR Pay TCP device should now be operational
