## Facts (current — 2026-09-01)

- Use **Catch Swipe** as the default card-payment method into the quotation system. **Load Swipe** is the backup method only.
- Steps:
  1. Wait for the client to **finish payment**.
  2. Click **Catch Swipe**.
  3. Enter the **exact** amount the client paid.
  4. Enter the card **last 4 digits**.
- The system then loads the payment automatically.

## History (2024-01-16)

- Bluebird card machines can feed the quotation system automatically via Catch Swipe.
- Older steps allowed Catch Swipe before or after payment: Catch Swipe → confirm the exact amount (due amount pre-filled, editable) → enter last 4 digits; screen waits for a matching swipe or cancel.
- Only Bluebird machines support Catch Swipe. Sales were to get Bluebird units; Support Nedbank; Standard Bank as backup. All VAT / non-VAT Bluebird payments auto-handle.
- Manual (non-catch) card loads must use the full UTI so duplicates are not loaded. Newer fullscreen machines also use RRN (see the later RRN note).
