(RTP-25821)

EG POS has added support for "Swedbank Pay" pay terminal solution from Swedbank. The solution uses pay terminal types like PAX A30 and A35. Terminal may be connected to POS via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi (only).

POS Configuration

'BankAutoStartSession' (default 'False') - when activated, terminal accepts card / PIN before 'Bank' key is pressed in POS

'BankIpAdr' (default empty) - terminal's IP address

'BankIpPort' (default '0') - needs to be set to '11000' for Swedbank Pay

'CardIssuerList'
Comma separated list with all card types that may be reported by Swedbank. Is in use by Swedbank Pay solution, as it is already by VIM and PSDK solutions. Listed card types must be in correct order to report identical types with the same CardIssuer as done by Nets in other pay terminal solutions.     
To correspond with valid card issuers from Nets, the parameter must have content exactly as written here:

'SwedbankPayPOIID' (default empty) - Each unique terminal requires it's unique value in this parameter. Value is set by Swedbank, and configuration is downloaded to terminal based on this parameter (convenient when switching e.g. a defect terminal)

'PayTerminalType' must be set to 'SwedbankPay'

'PayTerminalVerboseLogging' (default 'False') - must be activated (at all time) to get detailed logging to EG's logfile.

'UseBonusCardFromPayTerminal' (default 'False') - when activated, POS will handle any received token (to recognize payment cards)

When a receipt is put on hold this may no longer generate missing sequence numbers. For a short period of time this could happen due to previous changes.

Correct item line deleted even when item originally added by configured CTRL key function (RTP-27861)

When an item is added to receipt via a configured key on physical keyboard like e.g. PREH, and the item is immediately afterwards wanted to be deleted, the delete function will now delete the correct item line (the active line, which has focus).

Trimming of scanner inputs when there are spaces at the end of barcode (RTP-24063)

In situations where an item's barcode contains one or more spaces at the end, i.e. the printed barcode does not have correct content, these spaces are now trimmed / removed. EG POS will then use the rest of the barcode content as input, making it possible to find correct item in the database.

This code may be scanned by customer with the mobile phone, leading to a link / website where the payment may be finished.

Improved handling of mobile payment attempts when PaymentService throws error (RTP-20209)

In situation where mobile payments like e.g. Vipps, Swish etc. is used, and PaymentService throws a 'TaskCanceledException', POS will retry the payment until successfully finished, or until cashier aborts the started payment. Both the retry attempts and the abort attempts will be verified being successful by POS. This will secure that payments are either finished or aborted in both POS and in mobile.
