Contactless on Desktop card machine
Contactless is the fastest growing way of paying and customers can now use contactless in lots of ways, using a card and other contactless devices.
From time to time, your card machine will request a PIN or Swipe instead of contactless. This is an added fraud protection measure for multiple or unusual card use. It will also happen if the sale value is above the contactless limit.
