Pre-requisites (questions for client):


  1. Have you activated/setup your account in the Moneris Merchant Resource Center? 
    • If yes, is it QA/Production?  (Refer respective URLs below) You cannot log into a QA store using your credentials for the production store or vice versa 
    • If QA, then do you have test cards?
    • If Production, do you have a personal credit card that can be used for testing?
  2. Is the P400 connected to Moneris cloud?  Your P400 PIN Pad is connecting to the Moneris Cloud if you see a blue  Moneris Cloud icon in the top right corner on the P400 PIN Pad's "Moneris" idle screen.
     If you see a black Moneris Cloud icon instead, the P400 PIN Pad may be paired with your store but is not connecting to the Internet.
  3. Have you paired the device on the Merchant Resource Center? 
    • You can check it from the Admin>Cloud pairing section in Moneris Merchant Center portal and check the terminal ID is listed and paired. If not paired, then click on pair button. If the terminal id is not listed, contact Moneris. 
    • The terminal ID is an eight-digit number starting with "P1", which is also printed on a sticker affixedto the P400 PIN Pad.
  4. Are you able to test a transaction directly from Moneris portal on pin-pad? Refer Merchant Resource Center Manual link for the more details on the process
