Accept credit card payment using Mercury - Odoo 11.0

A MercuryPay account (see *MercuryPay website*) is required to accept credit card payments in Odoo 11 PoS with an integrated card reader. MercuryPay only operates with US and Canadian banks making this procedure only suitable for North American businesses.

An alternative to an integrated card reader is to work with a standalone card reader, copy the transaction total from the Odoo POS screen into the card reader, and record the transaction in Odoo POS.

Install Mercury

To install Mercury go to Apps and search for the Mercury module.
