Servers have four ways of knowing when a check is paid: (1) A receipt will automatically print at the terminal, (2) the payment will display when viewing the terminal, both when viewing the check and when looking at table status on your seat map, (3) a pop-up notification will appear when servers key back into the terminal, and (4) a green checkmark and confirmation code will display on the guest’s phone. You can also see payments in your Up ‘n go account and via any custom integrations that we may have in-place for you.

The credit card industry standards define a card present transaction as one that is either swiped, dipped, or tapped (via NFC). Therefore, QR code and web-based payments are always considered card not present transactions. We believe the value your restaurant and guests get from using Up ‘n go far outweighs the small additional expense of card present transactions, which are a cost of doing business.

When guests pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, or credit card using 3D Secure, restaurants are exempt from the fraud liability shift just like with chip card readers.

3D Secure is an advanced technology that can be used to verify cardholder identity when accepting credit card payments contactlessly over the web.
