Hi there, just wondering if there has been any update on this? 70% of our store sales are processed with EFTPOS cards which have no connection to Visa or Mastercard. We have tried the Wisepad and POS GO and it seems as if neither hardware can accept an EFTPOS card. Seems extremely silly to me. Is this a feature now? If not, what does everyone else use to take EFTPOS payments?
Topic summary
Acceptance of Australian EFTPOS (domestic debit network, not Visa/Mastercard) on specific POS hardware is in question.
-
A retailer reports that both Wisepad and POS Go appear unable to process EFTPOS cards, which affects ~70% of their store sales. They ask whether native EFTPOS acceptance is now supported and what alternatives others use.
-
A respondent states that Wisepad in Australia does accept EFTPOS and has for several years. They advise checking and enabling the correct POS app settings.
-
An image/screenshot is attached and appears central, likely showing the relevant POS settings for EFTPOS acceptance.
-
No confirmation is provided about POS Go’s EFTPOS capability in this exchange. The original user has not yet confirmed whether adjusting settings resolves the issue.
-
Action items: verify region-specific POS settings for EFTPOS on Wisepad; seek clarification or documentation on POS Go’s EFTPOS support.
Status: Partially clarified, but unresolved pending configuration checks and confirmation of POS Go support.
