Set up the Terminal intelligent Poynt
Step 2 of the Terminal intelligent Poynt get started series.
To make first-time setup easy, your Terminal intelligent Poynt is associated with your GoDaddy Payments account when it’s shipped to you. When you first turn it on, you’ll just need to adjust a few settings and then you’ll be ready to go.
Your Terminal intelligent Poynt has two screens–the bigger screen (the merchant screen) faces you and the smaller screen (the customer screen) faces your customers. You’ll use the big screen to complete the setup and activation process.
- Make sure your Terminal intelligent Poynt is powered on. Press the power button on the back of the merchant screen for three seconds to turn on the Terminal intelligent Poynt.
- On the Welcome screen, select your language from the list, then tap Continue.
