Complete a test transaction with the GoDaddy Smart Terminal Flex

Step 3 of the GoDaddy Smart Terminal Flex get started series.

Your Smart Terminal Flex is charged up and activated! Now it’s time to run a test transaction to make sure everything is working as expected. You’ll need to use your own credit or debit card for this. But don’t worry – you can void out the charge after you’ve processed it and there won’t be any charges or fees. (And you’ll learn how to void a transaction, too!)

1. Load a roll of printer paper into the Smart Terminal Flex.
2. From the Smart Terminal Flex home page, tap Terminal to access the keypad.
3. Enter a small amount like $1.00, then tap Charge.
4. Insert, tap or swipe your credit card. (Problems reading the credit card? Check out our troubleshooting tips for help.)
5. Enter your signature when prompted, then tap Done.
6. Tap Paper Receipt to print out the receipt. Don’t skip this! You can make sure your printer is working correctly AND look at how your info displays on your receipt.
7. Your test transaction is now complete! But–now we need to void that charge. Here’s how:
   1. Return to the home page and select Transactions.
   2. You should see the charge you just processed. Tap the transaction, then Void.
   3. Tap Yes.
   4. Tap Close. The transaction now shows Voided, meaning the charge will not be applied to your credit card. In the future, you’ll follow this same process whenever you need to void or refund a charge.
