Configure Text-to-Pay in MICROS RES
Description: Learn how to configure Text-to-Pay in MICROS RES by creating the Phone Number menu item, uploading the SIM script, and setting up the interface.
Before You Configure Text-to-Pay in MICROS RES
In order for the Text-to-Pay module to function, you need to add a menu item that can collect the phone number and load a SIM in MICROS RES.
Important: DO NOT install the SIM until you have first upgraded to the latest version of xDine.exe and added the Phone Number item to xDine's remote config. Putting the SIM in without those other steps will result in errors.
