How does the
Fenway Cash program work?
Students and
parents make deposits into Fenway Cash and use the account to
make purchases without using cash; just like you would use a debit card.
You swipe the Fenway Card in the provided Hypercom terminal and CardSmith
processes the payment.

available?

separate Hypercom T7 Plus dial up terminal used to process Fenway Cash
transactions at your location.

Do I need a dedicated phone line?
No, the
terminal can share the phone line with another piece of equipment (i.e. fax
machine) using the splitter provided. Please be advised that you
cannot use multiple dial up devices at the same time while sharing a phone
line.

If the card is DECLINED,
what do I do?
The
Fenway Cash account associated with the card has insufficient funds. You need to
ask for an alternative method of payment (cash or credit).

What type of paper is used in the terminal and where can I buy more?
The Hypercom T7 Plus series uses
standard thermal receipt paper, commonly available at wholesale warehouses
and most office supply retailers. Roll paper should be 2 ¼” wide and can be
up to 250’ in length, but shorter rolls will work. Your first roll is
complimentary so after that you will need to supply any additional rolls you
may need.

My terminal displays the message "Line Busy, Please Wait" - what does this
mean?
The "Line Busy, Please Wait"
error message occurs when the terminal's communication is being interrupted
by another device (i.e. fax, phone), the terminal's phone line is plugged
into the wrong port, or the phone line being used is not working.
The first step to solve this problem is to check and make sure that all
wires are properly connected. Be sure that the phone line is securely
connected into the port that displays "Line" on the back of your terminal
and that the other end is securely connected to a telephone wall jack. You
can also try a different telephone cable. If the terminal is being shared,
check to see if the other device(s) are communicating or not. To check to
see if the phone line is still working properly, unplug the cord from the
"Line" port on the terminal and plug it into a regular phone. If there is a
dial tone, dial 1-877-898-1787 and confirm that you hear computer tones.
If you hear anything else, write down the error message and call Merchant
Care or your phone provider as appropriate. If there is no dial tone, please
call your phone company to fix the line.
If these steps do not resolve your problem, please call CardSmith Merchant
Care at 1-877-711-9089 for additional support and troubleshooting.

How often can the terminal
be batched?
The terminal
can be batched at any time and prints out a receipt which will report your
sales, refunds, and net sales. You must batch your terminal at least once
per day if you have transactions.
Back to Top
How does my business get paid?
You must
batch out your terminal in order to be paid so please settle transactions at
the end of every day you accept the Fenway Card for payment. You will
receive payment in your designated bank account 8-10 business days after you
run settlement.
Back to Top
Will I receive monthly
statements?
Monthly
statements are typically mailed out on the 5th business day of
the month.
Back to Top
When
will my monthly fees be debited from my bank account?
Your monthly
fees will be debited from your bank account between the 8th and
12th business day of the month. Please ensure there are enough
funds in your account prior to this time to avoid NSF fees.
