Calendia Pay card terminals

Accept in-person card payments on a terminal that posts straight to the right sale, with its own idle-screen ads between payments.

Updated Sep 13, 20262 min read

Calendia Pay is Calendia's own card terminal option. Charge from a booking or from the cash register, and the payment lands on the right sale automatically with its receipt, VAT and accounting journal already handled — no separate terminal contract or portal.

Apply

Open Company settings > Payments. The Calendia Pay panel shows the price per card payment and whether a monthly or terminal fee applies. To apply:

  1. Choose your Location.
  2. Enter the Store phone number.
  3. If asked, fill in the company details Calendia doesn't have yet, such as the registered company name, company number, address and billing email — these are saved to your business profile so you're never asked twice.
  4. Click Let's go.

Verify your business and add a store

After applying, Calendia Pay reviews your application. Once approved, register a store for the location you'll be taking payments at.

Connect a terminal

Order a terminal (choose a model, quantity and delivery address and click Place terminal order), or pair one you already have: read the 6-digit code the terminal shows on startup, or its serial number, and enter it under Connect terminal. Terminal orders show their status — Order placed, Awaiting stock, Shipped, Delivered — and can be tracked from the same screen.

Activate the customer display

Terminals also show a customer-facing display. From Manage devices, activate the display with the code shown when the terminal starts, then restart the terminal. Once connected, customize the idle screen under Display look — logo, position, background and text colour — and create ads under Terminal ads to show offers, photos or muted videos while the terminal is idle between payments.

If a payment fails

A declined or failed card shows an error on the terminal so the customer can try another card. If Calendia can't confirm a payment with the terminal in time, it's closed automatically — check the terminal before charging again rather than retrying blind.
