Frequently Asked Questions
What payment types does the FD150 accept?
The FD150 accepts all major magnetic stripe (MSR), PIN debit, mobile and contactless transactions, with integrated PIN pad, EMV chip, and contactless reader. This includes traditional swiped cards, inserted chip cards, tap-to-pay contactless cards, and mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. The terminal also accepts PIN-secured and signature debit cards, all major credit cards, contactless payments and gift cards.
Is the FD150 compatible with my existing First Data setup?
Yes. The FD150 is replacing the FD130 as the latest affordable terminal solution, and it works with existing First Data merchant accounts. If you're upgrading from an FD130, the interface will feel familiar. Note that the RP10 PIN pad is only compatible with the FD150 terminal—if you previously used an FD35 PIN pad with an FD130, you'll need to upgrade to the RP10 for the FD150.
What connectivity options are available?
The FD150 offers flexible connectivity choices including WiFi, Ethernet, and dial-up backup, connecting seamlessly to networks using IP, dial-up, or Wi-Fi. This gives you three options: hardwired Ethernet for fastest speeds, WiFi for wireless flexibility, or dial-up as a backup connection. Most merchants use Ethernet or WiFi for primary connectivity.
Do I need to purchase encryption separately?
Most banks are now requiring encryption service. DCCSupply offers encryption loading for $10 (select your encryption type at checkout: Carlton 500, Carlton 501, Wells 350, Wells 351, Ignite 700, or Paysafe 236). TLS 1.2 must be installed onto your FD150 credit card terminal before it is ready for downloads. Contact us at 847-266-1220 if you're unsure which encryption your processor requires.
Can I use the FD150 with a separate PIN pad?
Yes. The First Data RP10 PIN Pad pairs only with the FD150 terminal. The RP10 allows customers to enter their PIN on a separate device facing them, rather than on the terminal itself. This is useful for countertop setups where the terminal faces the merchant. The FD150 also has an integrated PIN pad, so a separate RP10 is optional, not required.
Does the FD150 support EBT and gift cards?
Yes. The FD150 accepts electronic benefits transfer (EBT), and the terminal accepts gift cards in addition to credit and debit cards. This makes it suitable for grocery stores, convenience stores, and other retailers that need to accept EBT payments.
What comes in the box?
When you purchase the First Data FD150 credit card terminal, you'll receive everything you need to get started, including a power pack, a roll of paper, and a telephone line. Ethernet cable is sold separately if you plan to connect via Ethernet instead of dial-up.
How fast is the printer?
The FD150 has a thermal printer capable of up to 18 lines per second, quickly producing receipts. The printer uses thermal paper (no ink required), and features a quick and hassle-free drop-in paper-loading system.
Can one FD150 terminal handle multiple merchant accounts?
Yes. The FD150 allows for multi-merchant processing, enabling several business owners to process payments for more than one merchant account using a single terminal. This is useful for businesses managing multiple brands or store locations from one physical terminal.
Is the FD150 PCI compliant?
Yes. The FD150 has PCI 5.0 compliance for enhanced security. This is a significant upgrade from the FD130, which used PCI-PED 3.x. PCI-PED version 5.x is a newer security standard than the 3.x version used in the FD130.
