On a synched integrated terminal, the change is effected when the terminal reboots or receives a manual Sync command from the ECR to which the terminal is connected.

Display timeout
Set the number of minutes of inactivity after which the terminal enters into sleep mode to conserve battery power:

Note: If you save a new configuration for this setting, it will be overwrite the corresponding setting on every terminal that is synched to this store. The overwrite will be effected on each terminal as described below in the note at step c.

Moneris Go portal - Terminal settings: Installments by Visa

The steps below describe how to access the settings for enabling/disabling Installments enabled by Visa ("Visa installments") on all terminals that are synched to your Moneris Go portal store. If you enable one or more installment plans (to a maximum of three), your synched terminals will display the option for cardholders to pay for a qualifying Purchase or Preauthorization over a defined time period in fixed, equal installment payments.

Note: For more information on the Visa installments solution, see Moneris Go portal - Installments Enabled by Visa.

  1. Log into the Moneris Go portal, and access the store that is synched to the terminal(s) that you want to modify (see Moneris Go portal - Logging into the Moneris Go portal).
    Note: If multiple stores are linked to your user account, you can use the My Stores function to move between your stores (see Moneris Go portal - Using My stores).
  2. On the sidebar menu (shown below), click on Settings > Terminal.
    Note: If the sidebar menu is not displayed on your screen, click on the "menu" iconin the top left corner of your screen, or expand your browser window to display the sidebar menu.

  4. Scroll to the "Installments by Visa" module (shown below), and configure the installment settings as desired:

  3. Select (enable) up to three installment plans:
    Note: An installment plan is implemented in monthly durations (3x, 6x, 12x, 18x, 24x, 36x, or 48x months). You may enable any combination of merchant-funded plans and/or consumer-funded plans. [2]
    • To enable an installment plan, checkmark the box in the desired plan.
