Debit Terminal Setup Guide ​

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up debit terminals for your cannabis dispensary. Accepting debit card payments can improve customer convenience and streamline transactions. By following these instructions, you'll be able to integrate debit terminals into your dispensary's point-of-sale (POS) system.

DispenseFirst intergrates with TransactFirst to process debit payment. So this guide is for stores that have signed a contract with them and received their hardware.

Requirements ​

The only requirements to be able to process debit transactions are:

  • Wi-Fi connection
  • Debit Terminals

The terminals should look similar to the image below
