How to configure Hike with TD Bank Canada

How to configure Hike with TD Bank Canada

Hike supports integrated payments with TD Bank on PC, Mac, and iPad via APIs. The integration is supported in Canada. You can easily configure the sync between Hike and the TD Bank Desk/5000 terminal and Move/5000 terminal.

In case your technician asked for it when setting up the terminal, the port number should be 8150.

The instructions below are suitable for Hike users on PC and Mac only. To set up the integration for your Hike store on an iPad, you will need to perform the steps of "New payment setup in Hike" below on a computer or iPad app 'Admin' section. Once actioned, log in to Hike POS Register app on your iPad > go to Settings > General and perform "data sync", This should enable the payment type on your iPad. 

Notes before you start

  1. Please make sure that your payment terminal and POS device (PC/Mac/iPad) are connected to the same Internet. Your POS device will not be able to detect TD payment terminal if it's connected to a different network. Please note: using guest network may also stop your TD terminal from getting found by your computer or tablets.
  2. Please compile following details about your business and send an email to hello@hikeup.com
    Business name: 
    Contact person name:
    Email:
    Phone number:

    We will share these details with the TD team and they will create an account for you and visit your store for the integration help. They will contact you before the visit. 
    Please make sure they create your TD account before they visit your store.

Set up multiple terminals

You can easily set up multiple terminals with Hike. You may need to set up multiple registers and multiple payment types first. For detailed instructions on how to set up a new register and how to assign a payment type to a specific register, please refer to Setting up your Cash Register in Hike and Creating Payment Types in Hike.

Pre-requisites

In order to be considered “available”, the payment terminals must be turned on and connected to the same local network as the registers, set up with the correct port number and configured in semi-integrated mode. Please also make sure you have installed the middleware if you are using TD with Hike on a computer.

Step 1. Identify a terminal to use

  1. Please start a first test transaction on the first register.  
  2. Please select the desired terminal for this register. 

    Please note that the MAC address of each terminal is displayed for convenience.
  3. Upon pressing ‘Use terminal’, the transaction is sent to the selected terminal for confirmation.

  4. Upon confirming that the transaction is sent to the desired terminal, cancel the transaction on the payment terminal by hitting the red x and select the close button which completes Step 1 - Identify a terminal to use.
    If the transaction was sent to the incorrect terminal, this step can be repeated until the correct one is identified.


Step 2. Lock the pairing to the terminal

  1. Please start a second test transaction on the first register and is presented with a screen that displays the MAC Address of the terminal that was selected at Step 1. You should confirm this is the desired payment terminal to be used with this register and can ‘lock’ the pairing by using the ‘Always use’ toggle and then, pressing ‘Use this terminal’ which will send the second test transaction to the payment terminal.


  2. Once the transaction is sent to the payment terminal, Step 2 has been completed.  The transaction can then be cancelled on the payment terminal and the “Close” button can be pressed on the screen that appears.

    From that point on, all future transactions from this register will be automatically sent to the paired payment terminal.
    This process can now be repeated for each additional register and payment terminal that needs to be paired.  

How to “Un-Pair”

This step should be used if an incorrect register/payment terminal pairing occurs or if a payment terminal that is paired is swapped for a new payment terminal. To Un-Pair and select another payment terminal to pair with the register:
  1. Please send a transaction to the currently paired payment terminal and then cancel it directly on the payment terminal using the red X on the terminal. The following screen is shown. Pressing the ‘Use another terminal’ button will present a screen with all available terminals. Note that the previously used terminal will appear with a ‘Last used’ mention on this screen to facilitate the selection of the new terminal.


  2. Choose the correct payment terminal to be paired  and click “Use terminal”
  3. Once you confirm the correct payment terminal has been selected follow the instructions provided earlier to ‘lock’ the register/payment terminal pairing.
