Managing Stores (Sources)

Terminals can be linked to ‘Stores’ (a type of Payment ‘Source’) in order to help organise your terminals across locations. Assigning each terminal to a Store can help you locate and filter transaction information on a per-location basis.

The steps to assign a Store to a terminal can be found below:

1. Activate a POS Device:
   Please see the above section on how to activate a Terminal or Viva Terminal App

2. Create a Store:
   Please see our Source for stores page for instructions on how to create a Store. Please also note that if you have more than one wallet (account), you can choose which wallet the Store is linked to

3. Within your Viva Wallet self-care account, navigate to Sales > Physical Payments > Card Terminals:
   
   

4. You will see a list of your active terminals. Click on the Edit button for the terminal you wish to amend:
   
   

5. You can then use the Select Source dropdown to choose which Store you wish to assign to this terminal, before saving:
