Processing a Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) Sale

Notes:

• DCC must be enabled on the merchant / terminal level.
• Supports Visa and MasterCard.

1. Start a normal Sale transaction.
2. Select the card payment option.
3. Tap, insert, or swipe the card.
   
   The transaction amount is displayed on the payment device in the local currency.
4. The customer is offered the option to pay in their card’s native currency or the local currency and selects their preferred transaction currency (if applicable).
   
5. Select the preferred receipt function. Once the payment is successful, the receipt includes both the original and converted amounts and any applicable markup.
   

All major credit and debit cards are supported.

Processing a DCC Sale - Priority Checkout

Notes:

• DCC must be enabled on the merchant / terminal level.
• Supports Visa and MasterCard.

Priority Checkout uses a pre-authorization flow, where the final amount is completed at a later time.

1. Start a Priority Checkout (Pre-Authorization) transaction.
2. Select the card payment option.
3. Tap, insert, or swipe the card.
   
   The transaction amount is displayed on the payment device in the local currency.
4. The customer is offered the option to pay in their card’s native currency or the local currency and selects their preferred payment currency.
   
5. The customer must agree that the final exchange rate will be determined on the day the transaction is completed.
   

Priority Checkout transactions require a separate completion. During completion, it will follow the DCC choice the customer has made at Preauth, and then the final amount is processed using the exchange rate on the completion (checkout) date, and the customer receives a receipt.
