Creating the CommBank Payment Type in Retail POS and configuring your Payment Terminal

1. First, navigate to Setup -> Payment Types in Retail POS and click the Add Payment Type button.

2. On the New Payment Type screen select CommBank from the Payment Type dropdown.
3. On the next page, edit the name of your payment type if you wish to do so.

Click the Configure your Albert with Retail POS button and follow the onscreen instructions to enter the pairing code from Retail POS on the Albert terminal, and pair that device with a Retail POS register.
6. Once you've done this, Click the Save Payment Type button.
