Boarding a terminal for Vista Payments

To accept payments, a terminal must be assigned and boarded. This will connect the terminal to the internet and associate it with your physical store. While we handle assigning a terminal to a store, you must board it. 

Steps

1. Switch on the terminal. During startup, the display will turn on and off a few times.
2. Select your preferred language.
3. If prompted, connect to Wi-Fi. Follow the prompts to connect the terminal to the internet.
4. On the terminal, select Board the terminal.
5. Confirm the store assignment.
   • Select Confirm to accept the store that the terminal should be assigned to. 

   • Or, select the pencil icon to choose a different store from the list.

     Note: If the wrong store is displayed or there's no pencil icon, contact Vista.

6. Wait for the terminal to reboot. It may restart one or more times during this process.

Your terminal is now ready to process payments.

Note: If you have a terminal that was already assigned and boarded to a store and you want to use it for a different store, contact Vista to get the terminal reassigned.
