Note: For merchants using SkyTab SOLO, all transaction processing should be completed in the SkyTab SOLO application. The only two exceptions are EBT transactions and instances where SkyTab SOLO cannot process the transaction. In both cases, the BroadPOS application must be used to complete the processing.

Beginning with SOLO v2.144, the options for selecting Debit and Credit payment types are removed because the tender type is automatically determined by the card used.

How Tender Type Appears in Reporting

Payments processed with a card are now automatically identified as Credit or Debit based on the card used; no manual selection is needed.

This tender type is reflected in reporting, allowing you to distinguish between Credit Card and Debit Card transactions for better accuracy in reconciliation and analysis.
