This service is responsible for our Global Payments PAT (PayAtTable) interface. The service listens to and communicates with the Ingenico Move/5000 credit card terminal. All communication is initiated by the Ingenico terminal.

Following is a basic communication flow.

1. Ingenico connects to the service via TCPIP socket connection.
2. Ingenico requests the service to send a table-check list for the operator to select a guest check.
3. Ingenico requests the service lock the guest check.
4. Ingenico locally acquires payment and tip info and authorizes credit card(s).
5. Ingenico sends payment detail to the service, and the service adds media(s) to the guest check.
6. Ingenico requests the service unlock the guest check.
7. Ingenico disconnects the TCPIP socket connection with the service.

There may be multiple Ingenico terminals communicating with the service simultaneously.
