Introduction
PAR Brink POS EMV Card Processor Configuration Guide 1
Introduction EMV stands for Europay-MasterCard-Visa. It is the chipped card technology that allows for more secure
transactions when used in EMV-equipped payment terminals and ATMs. Brink POS supports several
payment processors for accepting EMV card payments.
NOTE: This document only covers EMV payment systems. Non-EMV credit and debit card processing is
beyond the scope of this guide.
The tables on the following pages display information regarding payment gateways, processors, and the
features available to each combination. The rows are:
• Gateway: The “engine” of the payment processing system. This can be software installed on the
POS system, a firmware operating system on the payment device, or an external server through
which the payment data is passed. The Tender Retail, PAX, and Datacap gateways are locally-
installed software; the VeriFone Point Enterprise gateway is a firmware operating system; and
PAR Pay and the VeriFone Point Classic gateway use external servers.
• Processor: The company that processes the payment.
• Payment Device Model: The specific device or devices that the gateway/processor combination
requires.
• Country: The country or countries in which the gateway/processor combination is valid.
• Features: A selection of features that each combination of gateway and processor has.

PAR Pay Setup
PAR Brink POS EMV Card Processor Configuration Guide 3
PAR Pay Setup PAR Pay is a unique payment processing service that is owned and operated by PAR and is fully
integrated into Brink POS. Payment devices are purchased from PAR instead of from the payment
processor and come pre-configured with all the necessary information to begin processing order
payments right away. The following settings need to be set in Settings Editor, however, before PAR Pay
can process credit card and gift card payments.
Payment Device A new Payment Device must be set up on the Payment Devices page. Click the Add button to open the
Edit Payment Device dialog.
Edit Payment Device dialog, PAR Pay
In the Model drop-down list, select ParPay. If you are using PAR Pay for both credit cards and gift cards,
select Integrated in the Gift Card Mode drop-down list. Otherwise, it can be left at [None].
NOTE: Only one PAR Pay Payment Device needs to be defined in Settings Editor for the entire store.
Register On the Peripherals tab for each Register defined on the Registers page, select the PAR Pay Payment
Device in the Peripherals drop-down list.
Peripherals tab, Edit Register dialog
PAR Pay Setup
PAR Brink POS EMV Card Processor Configuration Guide 4
Tender Tenders must be created for all types of credit card accepted, and one must also be created for debit
transactions. If you are using PAR Pay for gift cards, then one must be created for gift card transactions
as well. The Active check box must be checked for all Tenders.
Edit Tender dialog
Layout Only one button with the ‘Payment Device’ behavior needs to be created for both credit card and debit
card transactions. The Do Not Prompt radio button should be left selected in the Prompt Employee for
Payment Method dialog. See Layout later in this document for full instructions on how to create and
configure a ‘Payment Device’ button.
If you are using PAR Pay for gift cards as well, a separate button with the ‘Tender’ behavior (configured
to use the gift card Tender) must be created.
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.
Printing > Credit tab on Options page
If you do not wish to print Credit Drafts go to Options > Payment > Credit Options > Set Minimum Printing

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. Network Profile Should be set to Private for All POS Registers.

Store and Forward
Store and Forward PAR Pay and both versions of VeriFone Point have a feature called “Store and Forward”, which allows
you to take credit card payments even if the connection to the Internet is down. The payment device
stores the payment information until such time as the Internet connection is restored, then sends the
payment to the processor when communication is re-established.
Multiple Payments All gateways and payment processors allow for multiple payments on the same order. Orders can be
paid with any combination of EMV cards, swiped cards, cards entered at the register, or cash.
Instructions for how to do this are in the card payment procedures, above. Also, the cashier can initiate
this processing using the ‘Split Order’ function.
Voiding Payments Credit card or debit card payments made through EMV-enabled card readers can be voided normally. As
with swiped card transactions, EMV credit card voids do not require further action by the customer, but
EMV debit card voids require the customer to re-insert their card and re-enter their PIN.
NOTE: (VeriFone Point only) If a void is not processed properly, this may be because the second port on
the payment device is not open. Contact your service provider for assistance in opening the second port.
Reports EMV payments are shown in the Credit Card Audit report (in Reports > Audits) and in the Credit Card
Detail and Credit Card Summary by Merchant reports (in Reports > Accounting).
