PAX devices supported through PAXSTORE download a configuration with everything needed to communicate directly to the processor.
The payment terminals function as external credit card/gift card processing devices. PAX devices can be customer facing and do not read Manager/Employee security cards.
Each PAX terminal holds encrypted credit card/gift card transaction data exclusively exclusively at the site

Credit card/gift card transactions run on a PAX terminal are encrypted and held in that specific PAX terminal and not stored in NorthStar Order Entry or available on other devices. NorthStar only gets limited unencrypted transaction details related to the check, like last 4 of pan, amounts, card type and status.
The PAX terminals batch out these stored CC/GC transactions at a specified time
- This is usually set up in each terminal's physical setting options.

Note: These devices are not the same as the Verifone VX805sconfigured or process transactions like Magensa MagTek, Verifone VX805s or the DataCap PAX supported devices. Those other devices usually communicate to a portal or a host application that then communicates to the processor.
Processors: Currently we have four five main processors that that are live with PAXSTORE supported PAX terminals:
