This page acts as a quick reference guide to the PAX applications and their user interfaces.

PayGuardian Cloud

The PayGuardian application is the means by which the PayGuardian Cloud API communicates with the terminal. The application has a few notable sections.

Obtain locationID/terminalID

To find your locationID/terminalID for use in the PayGuardian Cloud API, swipe the screen to the left. This will expose a QR code and a GUID. The QR code can be scanned to easily capture the GUID/locationID/terminalID.

PayGuardian Menu

Tap the three dots in the top right of the screen to expose the PayGuardian Menu. It will include the following options:

Pair Terminal

Use the Pair Terminal option to pair your PAX device with the MyBridgePay Virtual Terminal. The PAX device will prompt for the pairing code generated in MyBridgePay.

Once the code is entered, tap PAIR to pair the terminal.

Toggle Printer

Tap Toggle Printer to cycle through printer settings. This will include the following:

  • No Receipt

  • Merchant Copy Only

  • Customer Copy Only

  • Merchant and Customer Copies

Toggle Clear History

Tap Toggle Clear History to cycle through the auto-clear history settings. This will include the following:

  • Enabled

  • Disabled

When enabled, every time a transaction is processed, the transaction history in the device will be cleared. This ensures that the device does not fill its memory with transaction data.

Toggle Service Fee

Tap Toggle Service Fee to cycle through Service Fee settings. This will include the following:

  • Enabled

  • Disabled

Service Fee

Tap Service Fee to modify Service Fee Minimums and Percentage.

The minimum is the floor for the service fee amount.

The percentage is the percent of the original transaction amount that will be added as a service fee.

Toggle Autostart

Tap Toggle Autostart to cycle through Autostart settings. This will include the following:

  • Enabled

  • Disabled

When selected this will prompt the user to allow the PayGuardian application to display over other applications. This should always be Enabled.
