Atoa now offers payment terminals for card payments (with Pay by Bank launching on our terminals in October 2025).
Setup is quick and only takes a few minutes.
How do I connect my PAX terminal to Wi-Fi?
If your terminal isn’t connected to the internet, the Atoa POS app will show an alert: “No internet detected.”
-
On the alert screen, tap Wi-Fi settings.
(You’ll also see an option for Roaming settings, but you only need Wi-Fi). -
The device will automatically take you to the Wi-Fi settings page.
-
Select your preferred Wi-Fi network. Enter the password and tap Connect.
Once connected, you’ll be returned to the Atoa POS app and can continue with setup.
Tip: Keep your terminal close to your router for a stable connection.
How do I install the paper roll?
- Pull the latch on top of the terminal’s printer cover to open it.
- Place the paper roll inside with the paper feeding from the bottom and rolling forward.
- Pull a small strip of paper outside the lid.
- Close the cover until it clicks shut.
Tip: Use high-quality 58 mm thermal paper to get clear prints and reduce jams.
How do I test my setup?
-
Create a small test payment (e.g. £1.00).
-
Check that a receipt is printed.
-
You can then void (cancel) the transaction by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and selecting "Void"
You’re ready to take payments! Place your terminal at your checkout, keep it charged, and ensure Wi-Fi stays connected for smooth transactions.
Remember to change your password
The default password for voiding transactions is 9299.
For security reasons, we strongly recommend updating this to a unique code that is only known to authorised staff.
We suggest you continue to change your password on a regular basis.
How to Change your Password
-
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
-
Select Change Password.
-
Enter "9299" in the Old Password field.
-
Enter your new passcode in the New Password field.

Re-enter the same code in the Confirm Password field.
-
Press Submit/OK to save.
Your passcode is now updated.
