Overview:
The Ingenico iSMP4 is a lightweight, Wi-Fi connected device that makes it easy to accept payments on the go, including MSR (magnetic stripe), EMV (chip), and NFC (contactless) payments. Connected directly to Bolt via a Wi-Fi connection, the iSMP4 protects 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:
Before you begin, ensure that the iSMP4 device is fully charged before you attempt to configure and use it for the first time. Failure to fully charge the device prior to its first use can result in the loss of data stored in the device memory. The initial charging time is approximately 4 hours.
What's in the Box?

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. |
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 iSMP4 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. |
