How to: Set and Assign PIN Numbers

To set a PIN number

To set a PIN as a requirement for a POS Data Entry Type:

  1. Click the icon, enter POS Data Entry Types, and select the relevant link.
  2. Activate the Use PIN option.
  3. In the PIN Length field, enter the preferred length of the PIN (1-9 characters).

Note: If you do not set the PIN length yourself, the system specifies four characters by default.

To assign a PIN number

The PIN number is created automatically when you create a POS Data Entry on the POS, for example when you are selling a gift card.

You can print the PIN number on a slip by setting that up on the POS Extra Print Setup Card. The PIN number is not visible in the system, except in the POS Data Entries page to users with Manager authorization.
