Generating a POS Connection Code for the Point-of-Sale System

Before you can sync your Android device with the point-of-sale (POS) system to establish a secure connection, you must activate the device. For more information, see Activating an Android Device in the Acceptance Devices App.
To ensure the security of the data sent over the internet between your POS system and Android device, you must establish a secure connection (sync) between your system and the device. You must complete this task one time for each POS system you are using.
If Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) is enabled and the device activation is complete, the Generate Code screen appears in the Acceptance Devices app.
Follow these steps to generate a POS connection code for a POS system in the Acceptance Devices app:
  1. On the Generate Code screen, tap
    Generate Code
    .
  2. Record the eight-character code that appears on the screen. You will use this code to request a certificate from the POS system. The screen shows an expiration timer for the code, which refreshes every 300 seconds.
