Outlets: Money › iPay88 e-wallet

Set up the outlet's iPay88 e-wallet account on its Money sub-tab. Take iPay88 e-wallet payments at this outlet, the merchant code, the merchant key that is kept sealed and never shown, Merchant Scan and the User Scan wallets, and what the POS and the kiosk then do.

With an iPay88 merchant account, guests can pay at the outlet with their e-wallet: Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, DuitNow QR and more. Each outlet has its own iPay88 account, set up at the foot of its Money sub-tab.

The POS never holds your merchant key. It asks FooodPos's cloud, and the cloud signs the request with the key and asks iPay88. So an iPay88 payment needs the internet; without it the POS says so and offers the other ways to pay.

There are two ways to take a wallet payment:

  • Merchant Scan: the cashier scans the code on the guest's phone. It works for every wallet (iPay88's Unified Scan).
  • User Scan: the POS shows a QR code and the guest scans it with the wallet chosen. A kiosk can only use User Scan.

Before you start

  • You may change the outlet.
  • Have the outlet's merchant code and merchant key from iPay88. Some accounts also come with a terminal ID or an xfield1: have them too if iPay88 gave them.
  • After this, a payment method needs to be linked to iPay88 in General Setup, Payment Methods. See Link a payment method to iPay88.

Open it

  1. In the menu, under MASTERS, click Outlet, then Outlets.
  2. Click Edit on the outlet's row.
  3. Click the Money sub-tab, and scroll to iPay88 e-wallet at its foot.

The iPay88 e-wallet part, part by part

iPay88 e-wallet, at the foot of Money: the switch, the account, and the two ways to pay.
  1. Take iPay88 e-wallet payments at this outlet: the switch. Ticked, every POS at the outlet can take iPay88 payments; unticked, none can. It can be ticked only with a merchant code, a merchant key, and Merchant Scan or at least one wallet.
  2. The line under it: the POS needs the internet for iPay88, and refunds are made in iPay88's own merchant report.
  3. Merchant code: the outlet's code from iPay88, letters and digits, such as M12345.
  4. Merchant key: a password box that is always empty. Before any key is kept it says From iPay88; after, Kept. Type a new one to replace it. Type a key only to set or replace it; left empty, the key kept stays. The line under it says whether a key is kept, when it was set and by whom, never the key: No merchant key is kept for this outlet., or A merchant key is kept (set on … by …). It is never shown. Type a new one to replace it.
  5. Take the key off (iPay88 stops at this outlet): shown while a key is kept and the box is empty. Ticked and saved, the key is removed and iPay88 stops at this outlet.
  6. Currency: three letters, MYR unless iPay88 says otherwise.
  7. iPay88 terminal ID: only when iPay88 gave you one. Leave it empty otherwise.
  8. xfield1: only when iPay88 asked for it. Leave it empty otherwise.
  9. Merchant Scan: tick it to let the cashier scan the code on the guest's phone, whatever their wallet.
  10. User Scan wallets: tick each wallet the POS may show a QR code for: Boost, TnG eWallet, Mcash, UnionPay QR, MAE by Maybank2u, GrabPay, Weixin Pay, ShopeePay, DuitNow QR, Atome (BNPL) and Alipay+. Tick only the wallets your iPay88 account has.
  11. The last line: the next step, a payment method linked to iPay88.
  12. Save: the window's Save saves the iPay88 account with the rest of the outlet. There is no separate button.

Set up iPay88 at the outlet

  1. Type the Merchant code.
  2. Click in Merchant key and type, or paste, the key from iPay88. Nothing shows but dots.
  3. Leave Currency at MYR unless iPay88 says otherwise. Fill in iPay88 terminal ID and xfield1 only if iPay88 gave them.
  4. Tick Merchant Scan, and the User Scan wallets you want the POS to offer.
  5. Tick Take iPay88 e-wallet payments at this outlet.
  6. Click Save. Every POS at the outlet is told to take it, and has it within about a minute when it is online.

The POS shows iPay88 through payment methods, as it shows Cash or Visa.

  1. In the menu, under MASTERS, click General Setup, then Payment Methods.
  2. Add or edit a method, such as E-wallet, and set its Integration to iPay88 e-wallet. It becomes an e-wallet method: no cash drawer, no change.
  3. Under More, in How the guest pays, choose Merchant Scan (the cashier scans the guest's code), the default, or one wallet's User Scan, such as User Scan: DuitNow QR.
  4. Put the method in the payment method group your POS use.

See Payment methods: integrations.

Change or take off the key

  • Replace it: type the new key in Merchant key and click Save. The old one is gone.
  • Take it off: leave the box empty, tick Take the key off (iPay88 stops at this outlet), and click Save.
  • Switch iPay88 off for a while: untick Take iPay88 e-wallet payments at this outlet and click Save. The key stays kept.

On the POS

  • A method linked to iPay88 sends the amount due to iPay88 and waits for the answer, with Cancel.
  • While the outlet has no iPay88 set up, the method is greyed: iPay88 is not set up for this outlet, so this method cannot be used.
  • Without the internet: iPay88 needs the internet, and this POS has none now. Take another payment method. On Android: iPay88 needs the internet, and the cloud cannot be reached. Take another payment method.
  • A refund: iPay88 refunds are made in the iPay88 merchant report. Make it there, then press Refund again to record it here.

See iPay88 at the POS. Every iPay88 call is listed in Reports, Payment terminals.
