Overview:
The Ingenico iPP350 are customer-facing, countertop devices that support MSR (magnetic stripe), EMV (chip), and NFC (contactless) payments. Directly connected to Bolt via a wired Ethernet connection, the devices protect your transactions with a powerful combination of EMV technology and point-to-point encryption (P2PE), making each transaction secure and PCI compliant.

Setting up the Device:
What's in the Box?
- Ingenico terminal
- Ingenico multi-point mono connector cable
- Ingenico power supply
Connecting the Device
- Once your equipment is unboxed, plug the power supply connector into the jack on the Multipoint Interface Cable.
- Connect the Multipoint Interface Cable into the Multipoint Port on the back of the device.
- Connect the other end of the Multipoint Interface Cable to an Ethernet port (router, modem, wall jack, etc.).
- Plug the power supply adapter into an available power outlet.
Confirming Connectivity
- Once power is supplied to the device, an initiation process begins.
- Once the device has successfully established its IP Address, it will attempt to call the Bolt service.
- If the connection is successful, the device displays Bolted
- If the connection is unsuccessful, the device displays Unbolted. This means that the device has not successfully connected to the internet. We recommend testing several ports on the router/modem to see if you are able to connect the device to the internet and display Bolted.
- Once Bolted, the device is ready for use. The device may be left on indefinitely or may be disconnected from power as necessary.

Configure Device Settings:
There are a few preferences that you can indicate for your BOLT terminals, including whether to prompt the customer for the total and to take a signature. To set these preferences, in the Gingr app navigate to Left-hand Navigation: Admin » Credit Card Processing.
Setting | Description | Helpful Hint |
Name | Give this terminal a name. This will display in the payment window when checking out. | If you have more than one terminal, remove any confusion between the two by giving them names based on their location. i.e. 'Reception' and 'Curbside' |
Status | If enabled, this setting displays your terminal as an option when checking out in the cart. | Do not adjust this setting unless you are retiring a terminal or have returned the terminal. Feel free to reach out to support if you aren't sure! |
Do beep | Should the terminal beep when the customer should remove their card? | |
Allow Pin Debit | Do Not Use | At this time, CardConnect does not allow pin debit on the Bolt terminals, but they may build this in the future! |
Collect Signature | Do Not Use | The iPP 350 terminal does not support signatures. |
Prompt Total | If enabled, the terminal will ask the customer to confirm their total prior to inserting their card. |
If you are collecting tips, it will ask the customer to confirm their total 2x with this setting enabled. |
Custom Tip Amount | If enabled, customers can enter their own tip amount rather than selecting a pre-determined percentage. | |
Show Tip Bubbles | Do Not Use |
Tip bubbles are not available on the iSMP4 |
Charge Card on Terminal | Authorizes and charges cards on terminal. |
Required for Clover. NOT required for any Ingenico device. |

Customizing the Device:
Customizing Image/Logo
It is possible to customize the image displayed on the home screen of the Bolt EMV Reader. The image must adhere to some specific guidelines.
For the Ingenico iPP350, the requirements are:
- Maximum image size is 320px width, 240px height
- Maximum file size is 1 MB
Normally, this image would be your logo. You'll want to use an image editor of your choosing (Preview for Mac, Paint for Windows) and resize/crop the image to the appropriate size for your device.
Image resize instructions for Mac (http://osxdaily.com/2016/09/05/how-to-resize-photo-mac/) and Windows (https://www.digitalunite.com/guides/digital-photography/how-resize-photos).
Customizing Colors
It is possible to customize both the background color and text color on your Bolt EMV Reader.
To choose a color, navigate to https://www.google.com/search?q=hex+color+picker and use the tool to pick a color. Once you've found a color you like, locate the color code. The color code begins with a # and follows with 6 letters and numbers. Write down that code.
For example, white is #FFFFFF and black is #000000.
Request Change from CardConnect
Once you've resized your image and selected 2 colors, you'll want to email your request to CardConnect directly.
Send an email to cardpointesupport@cardconnect.com. Below is an example email template you can use to send to them.
Important! Please be sure to include your Merchant ID in this email, as well as your resized file and 2 color codes.
Hello,
I'm writing to request an update to the idle image and colors on the BOLT terminals associated with Merchant ID {MERCHANT_ID}.
Attached, you'll find a suitable idle image. I'd like my background color to be {#XNXNXN} and my text color to be {#XNXNXN}.
