Ensure that you keep it updated:

  • Your device's operating system (Android or iOS).

If your device has the viva.com Terminal app pre-installed

If you manage a large number of devices with the viva.com Terminal app

The Viva.com Terminal app for Android is designed to work on any commercially available Android device, including a wide range of payment terminals. These payment terminals are managed by Viva.com and are therefore automatically updated.

These devices include:

  • PAX: A35, A80, A920 pro, A8900, IM25

  • Ciontek: CS30, CS50C, CM30

  • Sunmi: P2SE, P2SE lite, P2 Smartpad

If you don't know the model of your device, you can view photos of each model to identify it.

In this case, we strongly recommend that you adopt an MDM (Mobile Device Management) platform to distribute and manage applications on these devices.

Troubleshooting your application

Transactions can fail for a number of reasons. Before proceeding with more detailed technical troubleshooting, with or without the help of customer service, please follow the steps below:

  1. Ensure that the card used for the failed transaction has sufficient balance

  2. Use the Status option to perform basic checks. If you see a red flag, start troubleshooting from there

  3. Exit and restart the application. There are different ways to terminate an app on Android and iOS devices. We're sure you know how to do it

  4. Uninstall and reinstall the app

  5. Make sure you are using the latest version of the app

  6. Update the app's parameters using the "Update" option

  7. If you are using the app in conjunction with a device: Go to the Bluetooth menu, select to "forget" the device, and then reconnect it from the beginning

  8. If none of the above actions resolve the problem:

  9. Use the 'Chat with us' option. For a smoother experience, it's recommended to do this from a different device that has the viva.com Terminal app or viva.com Banking App installed

Before contacting us, please make sure you have used the "Send Logs" option from the application menu. This feature allows your device to send useful information so we can better understand the problem and resolve it more efficiently.
