Pin Payments (Store Customers Credit Card)
Customer credit cards can be stored and re-charged at a later date for ongoing hire charges or for security purposes in case hire equipment is damaged. Cards are stored with Pin Payments in a secure and tokenised PCI Compliant manner. i.e. once the card is stored, the card details cannot be retrieved via HirePOS and used elsewhere. You can only re-charge the card through HirePOS if/when it is required. Cards should be 'destroyed' once they are no longer required.
