How Terminals work with Spektrix Payments
Traditionally, Chip and PIN hardware is installed locally on a PC and connects to Spektrix through the Box Office App.
However, Spektrix Payments is a cloud based solution, which means that no hardware installation is required. Of course, you’ll need to set up the Payment Terminal before it can be used.
TIP: The Box Office app is still required for connected printers and USB cash drawers.
Spektrix Payments only works with integrated Payment Terminals. These may differ from other payment devices you use in your organisation.
Integrated payments are processed directly through Spektrix and sent to Adyen. Adyen then sends these payments directly to your business bank account. This differs from other payment methods (e.g. cash, cheque, BACS etc) which are not integrated and are processed outside of Spektrix.
