If you are a Pool, Spa, or Hearth business that uses Evosus Business Management Software, we recommend familiarizing yourself and your staff with the Evosus standard payment process and using this as your primary method for completing customer transactions in our point of sale feature.
PLEASE NOTE!
If your business does NOT use Evosus Business Management Software to run your business, please follow one of the other payment options listed in this booklet.
You and your employees can also complete transactions using Poynt’s built-in Terminal app, a quick-and-easy payment processing solution.
The Poynt Terminal app comes pre-installed on the Poynt Smart Terminal – no need to download! However, we recommend you check it out ahead of time to become familiar with the app should you ever need to use this app as a backup solution.
Follow these steps to complete a payment with the Poynt Terminal app:
Open the Poynt Terminal app on your Poynt device.
Enter the amount for the item(s) and press “Charge.”
After pressing “Charge,” the customer-facing screen will ask the customer to insert their card to complete the transaction. During this time, you may also enter any notes for that transaction by selecting the “Notes” option from the pop-up window that appears. Notes could include the customer's name and the items purchased.
At the end of the day, you can view all transactions processed through the Poynt Terminal app by going to the Home screen and selecting “Transactions.”
You and your employees can also complete transactions using the Poynt Register app, a POS solution built for and by Poynt for seamless transactions. The Poynt Register app allows you to attach SKUs to the payments, unlike the Poynt Terminal app in Payment Option 2.
The Poynt Register app comes pre-installed on the Poynt Smart Terminal – no need to download! However, we recommend you check it out ahead of time to become familiar with the app should you ever need to use it as a backup solution.
You may prefer to use this app at a home show where you expect to sell specific items repeatedly.
Follow these steps to complete a payment with the Poynt Register app:
Open your phone's settings and turn on Personal Hotspot (Apple) or Wi-Fi Hotspot (Android).
On the Poynt Smart Terminal, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the menu, then touch the Wi-Fi icon on the far right.

This method is great for taking non-integrated payments in the field.
Even when disaster strikes – your Poynt smart terminal refuses to work, the power's out, Internet's down, etc. – you can still take a payment the good ol’ fashion way using the imprinter provided. This piece of hardware is more than just a relic from days of yore – it allows you to make a carbon copy of a customer's credit card for later billing.
To get started with the imprinter, follow these steps:
Place the card in the machine facing up.
Place the paper over the card.
Swipe then save the card information to a secure location.
Manually enter the information into any of the payment methods listed to run the card at a later time.
Shred the evidence!
Please note that the imprinter will NOT capture the CVV code, which you will need to run the card later. Please make sure you take note of the CVV code, save it in a secure location, and then destroy it with the other sensitive data after the transaction is complete.
