Tyro Terminal Setup

Your Tyro Account setup is outside the scope of this help.

  • However be aware that you can setup a surcharge in Tyro that is added to the amount the POS requests (a percentage)

  • eg:

    • The POS asks for $100 on credit card XXX

    • The Tyro response will be $100 plus $x of surcharge

    • The POS transaction will adjust to add the surcharge to the invoice and customer receipt

Tyro

...

has software that is installed on your computer that their machine talks to

...

  • Without this the POS cannot communicate with the Tyro Terminal.

  • This comes from Tyro

  • Some tyro terminology

    • MID = Merchant ID = bank account Tyro is putting the money into (setup in Tyro system)

    • TID = Terminal ID = Tyro machine being used

    • Surcharge = a % that can be added by Tyro to any $ card request and listed separately as a cc surcharge

SaaSplications Software

SaaSplications software will need to be setup and paired with the terminal

Troubleshooting Tyro issues

Issues taking payments may be for a number of reasons - the key information we need is the Tyro Logs on the machine. These tell us every request our system made of the Tyro terminal and every response they provided. We need these captured on the day of the problems.

An examples issue is - timeout from the Tyro Server (we allow 15 seconds)

  • System > System Settings (Advanced TAB) > Card Present EFTPOS provider (Tyro) (Tyro settings button appears) > Tyro Settings

...

    • Button: Show Tyro Logs for this machine for this pairing (note this may be a large file - email it to us)

    • Button: Show SaaSplications Logs for today - this is the SaaSplications local logs

SaaSplications Setup

Setup and pair with the terminal

  • Pairing: System > System Settings (Advanced TAB) > Card Present EFTPOS provider (Tyro) (Tyro settings button appears) > Tyro Settings

    • IF this machine previously had a different terminal paired - then use the button: clear browser cache.

    • Enter the MID And TID in the machine (this will be validated)

    • Set Production / Test mode or simulator mode (affects the tyro account impacted)

    • Pair Terminal button

    • Request Terminal Info

  • Integrated Receipts - Ticked if SaaSplications is printing the receipts (SaaSplications POS prints receipts so choose this when using POS)

  • Print Merchant Copy receipts - used when a tyro machine is not connected to a POS - if using POS then = Unticked

  • Integrated Surcharge - if your Tyro account has been setup to take a surcharge or not

Tyro in use - collecting settlement files

...

Tyro in use - comparing system journals with Tyro Transactions

Tyro provides settlement files - all transactions taken by a terminal for a date.

  1. SaaSplications provides a way to (1) capture these files and (2) compare them with the system created journals

  2. Why ? so you can find examples where a user may have used the tyro machine and not put the sale through the POS

Tyro Settlement payment is daily

  1. Tyro settles end of day every day in a single account for every MID across all TID’s

    1. so this is the expected amount into your bank (less fees if you are not using surcharging)

    2. Tyro closes the settlement at midnight every night

      1. Settlement files are therefore not available until the next day

SaaSplications Batch is daily

  1. SaaSplications groups Tyro journals into a batch for the day (per MID)

    1. Used for bank reconciliation

    2. A new batch is created at the first transaction after midnight

Tyro provides reconciliation files

  1. Used to compare what SaaSplications recorded VS what Tyro recorded

  2. Each file must be requested by TID from Tyro

  3. The file is not available until after midnight - hence not available until the next day

  4. The file can only be requested by the terminal used

When you open the POS AND have a paired Tyro Machine on your computer
