Common EFTPOS Issues

Common EFTPOS Issues

Please note that most EFTPOS processing issues are actually under the responsibility of the EFTPOS integration provider or the bank themselves as the Retailer software only sends the transaction data across and waits for the approved signal back from the EFTPOS software to complete the sale.

Here are a few common EFTPOS issues that can be encountered when using your integrated EFTPOS terminal and how you can troubleshoot it yourself.

Tyro

  1. Name Resolution Failure - The Tyro software cannot communicate with the Tyro servers. The most common cause of this is that your computer connected to the Tyro machine does not have an internet connection. Check the cabling to the computer and restart it if it can't access the internet. If a restart doesn't work then you might need to restart your internet router as well.

    If you require further assistance, you will need to contact Tyro for them to investigate the issue further on 1300 008 976

Linkly (formerly PC-EFTPOS)

  1. Pinpad Offline - The Linkly software cannot communicate with the physical EFTPOS terminal. Perform a restart of the EFTPOS terminal by holding the Function & Clear buttons. If the EFTPOS terminal does not restart automatically then you can hold the Enter key down until you see the start-up screen.
    If this does not resolve the issue then you should check the cable connection and try restarting the computer as well.

  2. EFTPOS sale crashed and can't use Retailer after restarting - Retailer is trying to restore the crashed EFTPOS sale but can't. You will need to clear the NexusDB folder from your Temp folder directory. You can quickly access your Temp directory by using the Run command. Press the [Windows logo key]+[R] on the keyboard -> Type %temp% into the box and press [Enter].
