Understanding how a Datacap Twin Tran works with your cash register

Datacap Twin Tran Flow Chart

Most cash registers that interface to credit card payments use a Datacap Twin Tran, IPTran, or Dial Tran. If you need to have your new merchant services programmed into your Datacap we can help. First you will need to decide on which merchant services company you want to go with. We have several good companies we work with all the time if you need a reference. If you already know who you are going to use you can call us with a couple pieces of information.

• The Serial Number of the Datacap Twin Tran (or Tran product you have)
• The Var Sheet from your merchant services
• Make and model of cash register you will be connecting to
• How many cash registers you will be connecting to.

There are a few things we will need answered in order to process the order and get your Datacap reprogrammed. Here are some things that should be answered

• Do you accept Tips?
• Do you accept EBT
• Do you accept PIN based debit transactions?

All these items are very important when selecting the platform your Datacap device should be programmed with.

Now a few environmental issues to figure out

• Do you want to use a High Speed IP connection
• Do you want to use a dial up connection
• Would you like to use both?
• If IP can you run a patch cable from Datacap device to router?
