Integrated EFTPOS - Tyro

This advice sheet outlines the setup and configuration of integrated EFTPOS and Retailer using the Tyro integration. EFTPOS integration reduces staff errors in processing EFTPOS transactions and consequently improves security.
This article applies to both the wireless Tyro terminal and the countertop model.

A. Before Installing Tyro

  • For a wireless terminal, you will need to ensure that you have a strong wifi signal available near the counter. Ideally, the wifi router should be within 10 meters of the Tyro terminal.
  • For the wired terminal, you will need to have an additional Ethernet (network) port available at the front counter.
  • The terminals connect directly onto your broadband, so a reliable broadband connection is essential.
  • In Retailer, the Integrated EFTPOS option needs to be enabled. To check this, go to Help -> Register and check that the Integrated EFTPOS option is ticked. If not, contact Tower support to enable this function.
  • Make sure you have contacted Tyro to activate your Tyro terminals as per the sticker on each terminal.

Before following these steps please make sure you have Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 installed on the machine you are going to pair Tyro with. Click HERE to learn about installing the .NET Framework.
