Sending us a Chip and PIN payment request to authorise 

The payment process for a Chip and PIN transaction involves the following stages:

1.      When a shopper is ready to pay, they enter their card into the payment terminal.

2.      When prompted, the shopper enters their PIN into the terminal.

3.      The terminal connects to Cashflows.

4.      The terminal sends the card details, via a secure connection, to Cashflows.

5.      We pass the transaction details to the relevant card scheme, for example Visa or Mastercard.

6.      The relevant scheme validates the transaction and sends a response back to us at Cashflows.

7.      We send the response, via a secure connection, to the terminal where the shopper and business owner can see whether, or not, the payment has been approved.
