Checking whether the transaction receipt is printed for transactions made via POS, and verifying the transaction amount on the receipt, has probably become a habit for all of us. For this reason, when the receipt is not printed for a transaction made with our card via POS, we feel the need to confirm that the transaction has actually gone through.
We can say that this consumer habit is gradually starting to break down with contactless transactions. The main reasons for this can be counted as the transaction amount being under 250 TRY and contactless payments made with mobile devices.
So is printing a receipt mandatory for contactless transactions?
Printing a receipt is not mandatory for contactless transactions; it is optional. Generally, in bank applications, the merchant copy is printed as standard for both contact and contactless transactions, while for the cardholder copy, the POS screen asks the merchant whether a receipt should be printed or not, and the receipt is printed accordingly. In some bank applications, whether a receipt is printed up to a certain amount is even managed as a configurable parameter.
In cases where the POS terminal does not issue a receipt but a transaction receipt is needed, the receipt for the last transaction can be obtained by pressing the SECOND COPY key.
Can contactless transactions be cancelled via the POS?
Contactless transactions can be cancelled via the POS. The cancellation process is no different from the standard cancellation of a contact transaction.
