UK Credit Card Chip and Pin solution

I have been given a project to analyse and integrate my companies chip and pin credit card solution into the RMS but am confused how to achieve this. I have been told that this is typically achieved by using the addins facility and getting my dll to be called at the Begin Tender Hook. If this is the standard way to integrate a card solution not listed in the EDC area within RMS I cannot understand how receiving information at the start of the tender can help my application receive a message to process the transaction when they select a credit card payment on the tender form.

I expect I?m missing something very obvious and any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Your application will REPLACE the built-in EDC integration.

Users will configure their tender types as "Other" rather than as "Credit Card" types. This will keep RMS from presenting it's own rather limited user interface for the card swipe.

I think you really want to be on the Tender End hook - that should allow the cashier to select the card tender type and enter the amount, then your application will display it's UI after they click OK. You will just check to see if any tender types that your add-in is configured to handle have a value != 0, and if so you process them - otherwise, just return True and let RMS continue.

Thanks for that Glenn that was a great help and makes perfect sense.

Don't know - I've never tried to replace the card integration before. You should be able to update the tenders during the Tender End event. Updating the DB directly is not going to help you though. Maybe you need to set the default change tender to Cash and make sure you have allowed overtendering on your Debit tender. That's about all I can think of.
