Starting the Acceptance Devices App Server

Before you can start the Acceptance Devices app server, you must activate a terminal in the Acceptance Devices app. For more information, see Activating a Terminal in the Acceptance Devices App.

Before you start the server, the Server Status screen shows the Server is not running
status message.

After you start the server and it is running, the Server Status screen shows the Server is running
status message. The terminal is ready to accept payment requests.

Follow these steps to start the Acceptance Devices app server:

On the Server Status screen, tap

Start Server

.

Acceptance Devices App Server Status Screen Showing Server is not
running Message

After the server is started successfully, the Server Status screen shows the Server is running
message. The terminal is now activated and ready to accept transaction requests. If you are using the app in Semi-Integrated mode, record the IP address and port number shown on the screen for future reference. You will include this information when making API requests. In this example, the IP address is 192.168.178.67, and the port number is 8443. If you are using the app in Cloud mode, no IP address or port number is shown on the Server Status screen with the Server is running
message. In this mode, the terminal is now activated and ready to accept transaction requests.
