Setting up your Datecs Bluepad 50 in talech

Introduction: This article will guide you through completing the setup of your Datecs Bluepad 50 Card Reader, within your talech Register.

• Performing a test transaction

Connecting your Datecs Bluepad 50: 

To begin, Log into the talech App using either the email address and password combination, or your admin’s 6 digit PIN.

 Step 1: Select Dashboard 

Step 2: Select Back Office.

Step 3: Next select Settings.

Note: Remain in the General Settings and scroll down to the Payments Section.

 Step 4: Select the Card Reader

Step 5: Select the Datecs Bluepad 50.

Note: The selection will be saved automatically. 

Step 6: Once the Card Reader is selected, Select the Back button  

Step 7: Select the Terminal ID. If more than one Terminal ID is available, select one and note it.

Note: The selection will be saved automatically. 

 Important: Each iPad and Register would need to use a different Terminal ID. Taking note of the one being used on one iPad prevents overlap between the card readers, if there are multiple to be set up.

Performing a Test Transaction:

Once you have selected your card reader in the settings, we recommend performing a test transaction to make sure that the connection is complete and that you are able to process cards with no issues.

Below are the Step by Step instructions that will show you "How to perform a Test Transaction". 

Step 1: Navigate back to the Card Reader settings following the steps provided above.

Step 2: Once you see the list of card readers, select the Blue Test Payment button at the bottom of the page.

Then generate a test charge for £1, or €1, and connect to your card reader. You can then complete the payment on the reader as normal

Note: If you are using a Datecs Bluepad 50 card reader, it may perform a TMS update as it is connecting. Allow the update to complete and it will proceed to connect to the reader and allow you to start processing the transaction.
