What is Valor Connect?
The term "Valor Connect" refers to the service utilized by your software provider to process card-present transactions. It enables you, as the merchant, to initiate transactions from your point of sale and collect payments from customers using a terminal reader.
For your terminal reader to accept card-present transactions, it needs to be in "Valor Connect" mode. When your terminal reader is in this mode, a dialog box appears on the screen displaying "Waiting… Valor Connect" (refer to the screenshot below). This visual indicates that your terminal is ready to receive transactions from your point of sale.
Ensuring that your terminal is in Valor Connect mode allows you to seamlessly conduct card-present transactions, enabling smooth and secure payment processing between your point of sale system and the terminal reader.
