EMV Declining 

If EMV transactions are declining, check to see if encryption is turned on for the device using ID TECH’s USDK Demo tool. 

Click on Files, select uDEMO.zip and follow set-up instructions.

Now that you have the USDK Demo tool installed, complete the form as shown below in the screen shot with the following entries:
Cmd: C7
Sub: 36
Data: 00

Click on “Execute Command”
If you receive “successful,” then you have the proper key injected. If your device is properly encrypted but EMV transactions still declining, please contact BridgePay’s Integration Support for further device troubleshooting.
If you receive “Command Failed,” please reach out to BridgePay’s Integration Support as your device does not have the proper key injected and will need to be reinjected.
