• Configuring Settings in Gingr
• Setting up a Terminal Device

Helpful Hints

• All admin users have access to the admin page controlling these settings. Additionally, admin users are able to delegate this particular admin page to other user groups. Non-admin users with access to this page will be able to make edits that affect all locations in the app. For more information see our article on User Groups and Permissions. 
  
  
• Clover devices are not able to be re-provisioned. When purchased from CardConnect, the MID of the facility is hard-coded into the terminal itself before shipping out to the location. If not purchased or rented using Gingr's order form with your active MID, the terminal cannot be repurposed or linked to your Gingr account later. 
  
  
• Ingenico terminals can be reprovisioned to a new MID if the two MIDs are linked. Reach out to support@gingrapp.com for assistance with this process and provide both MIDs that will be involved in this transfer. 

Configuring Settings in Gingr: 

Before you begin, ensure that you have your CardConnect Merchant ID (MID) handy. You'll need the MID in order to connect your merchant account to Gingr. You should have received an email from CardConnect listing your MID with the subject "Your Application is Complete! Welcome to CardPointe." from CoPilot at donotreply@cardconnect.com.

Important! If you cannot locate your MID, contact our support team and they will provide it for you. 

Adding the Merchant ID to Gingr:

1. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Credit Card Processing.
   
2. Click the pencil icon to edit the CardConnect record listed on this page.

Connect Payment Processor to Credit Card Payment Method:

Important! If you have utilized Gingr Payments or a third party non-integrated credit card processor, it is vital that each processor be linked to separate, clearly labeled Payment Methods. This assists in accurate financial reporting, and is key to processing payments and refunds without error. 

1. Navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Payment Methods. 
   
2. If no other credit card processor has been used, select the pencil icon to the left of the Credit Card payment method to edit the method.
   If another processor has been used, select the blue +Add button to the upper right of the Payment Methods section.
   
   
   
   
3. Name the payment method Credit Card (CardConnect).
4. Select CardConnect from the drop-down menu next to Processor.
