Before you can sync your Android device with the point-of-sale (POS) system to establish a secure connection, you must activate the device. For more information, see Activating an Android Device in the Acceptance Devices App.
To ensure the security of the data sent over the internet between your POS system and Android device, you must establish a secure connection (sync) between your system and the device.
If Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) is enabled and the device activation is complete, the Generate POS Connection Code screen appears in the Acceptance Devices app.
You must complete this procedure one time for each POS system you are using.
Follow these steps to generate a POS connection code for the POS system in the Acceptance Devices app:
  1. On the Generate POS Connection Code screen, Tap

  2. Record the eight-character POS connection code that appears on the screen. In this example, the code is 9MMFLMUQ. You will use this information to request a certificate from the POS system. The screen shows an expiration timer for the code. The code refreshes every 300 seconds.
