💳  Taking a Payment

To connect a payment to the reader, we have to first open an existing Project with an invoice task.

1.   Click the [...] menu on the invoice.
2.   Click Send to terminal to begin the connection.

5.   On the terminal, click Pay to prepare to accept the payment. The client will then need to tap, use the chip, or swipe on the terminal with their card to complete the payment.

    ⭕ Managing and Canceling Transactions

    If a payment needs to be canceled before it's completed, you can cancel it directly from Truss. If your firm has multiple readers, you can select which reader to send a payment to and manage or cancel pending transactions from the same interface. Cancellations are reflected immediately.
