Your terminal won't turn on

Your terminal is offline
If you see You're offline, your terminal has lost its internet connection. The screen asks you to connect to the internet and try again.
Your terminal connects to the internet on its own. If you keep seeing this message, move to a spot with better signal, then try again.
Your terminal needs an internet connection to take payments.

If you can't sign in:
- Check that you're using the phone number or email address for your Nomod account

- Your terminal hasn't been set up yet
- This terminal is linked to another account
- This terminal's details don't match our records
- This terminal has been blocked

Your terminal needs to sync
Your terminal syncs with your Nomod account automatically. When you open Nomod, you may briefly see Getting your terminal ready. If a confirmation message appears, tap OK.
If you see Your terminal needs to sync:
- Tap Sync terminal
- Wait for the sync to finish
- Try your next card payment
If you see Your terminal couldn't sync, move to a spot with better signal and tap Sync terminal again.
If it still won't sync, contact us.
A payment didn't go through
If your customer's card is declined, ask them to try another card or another way to pay.
If the screen closes during a payment or you see We couldn't confirm your last card payment:
- Open your sales
- Find the payment and check its status
- Only charge your customer again if the payment isn't there or didn't complete
If you're still not sure whether the payment went through, contact us before trying again. This helps avoid charging your customer twice.
A receipt didn't print
If you see We couldn't print this receipt:
- Check that the receipt paper is loaded correctly
- Tap Print again
- If it still won't print, tap Email to send the receipt instead
A printing problem doesn't affect the payment.
A refund didn't go through
- Open the payment in your sales in the Nomod App
- Check the refund status
- Tap Retry refund to try again
- If it still doesn't go through, contact us
Refunds are taken from your account balance. If your balance isn't enough to cover the refund, you'll need to wait for new payments to top it up before trying again.
If you're a Staff member, you can't refund payments. Ask your account Owner, Admin or Manager to process the refund.
While a refund is Pending, you can't start another refund for the same payment.
You forgot your passcode
- Tap Forgot passcode?
- Choose to reset it using your email address or phone number
- Follow the steps to create a new passcode
You can't find a feature
What you can see and do on your terminal depends on your role in your Team.
Ask your account Owner or Admin to check your role if you can't find something you expect to have access to.
