Response

Terminal operation created

Terminal operation. The shape depends on the operation field. When present, the fields inside result are camelCase, unlike the rest of the operation.

id
string<uuid>
required

Unique identifier for the terminal operation.

terminal_id
string
required

Identifier of the terminal the operation was sent to.

operation
enum<string>
required

The command that was sent to the terminal.

  • end_of_day: close the terminal's current batch and settle it with the acquirer. Run once per trading day, after the last payment.
  • send_logs: have the terminal upload its log files for troubleshooting. The logs are not returned through this API.
  • check_update: have the terminal check for a software update and install one if available. May reboot the terminal.
  • open_menu: open the settings menu on the terminal's own screen for an operator standing at the device. The terminal cannot take payments while the menu is open.
  • poll_terminal: ping the terminal to see whether it is online and responding. Has no effect on the device.
  • print_text: print lines on the terminal's printer. Dintero does not compose or check the content.
  • print_receipt: print a copy of a transaction's payment receipt.
Available options:
end_of_day,
send_logs,
check_update,
open_menu,

status
enum<string>
required

Status of the terminal operation.

  • PENDING: Operation has been dispatched to the terminal and is awaiting a response.
  • COMPLETED: Terminal has responded and the operation finished successfully.
  • FAILED: Terminal responded but reported a failure.
  • TIMEOUT: No response was received from the terminal within the timeout window. A new operation can be dispatched.

Which statuses an operation can reach depends on the operation. open_menu and poll_terminal are never reported as FAILED, since the terminal does not report a failure for them - an unreachable terminal ends those operations as TIMEOUT. end_of_day, send_logs, check_update, print_text and print_receipt can be FAILED when the terminal answers but reports a problem; the result of the operation says what it was.

Available options:
PENDING,
COMPLETED,
FAILED,
TIMEOUT
