What happens if a customer withdraws cash but the amount dispensed is incorrect?

Inform the customer that they must contact their bank and explain what has happened to resolve the issue. If the transaction hasn\'t reversed after 24 hours, the customer will need to raise a LINK claim with their bank. The LINK claim will then be investigated between their bank and PayPoint.

Remember to never give cash to the customer from the till or ATM machine to resolve the issue. In most cases, the transaction reverses back immediately or within 24 hours.

Check the ATM for jammed notes and remember to check for any cash jams when doing the end-of-day reconciliation.

This service makes managing cash easier and could save you money on banking charges.

Why is my X report (shift report) or Z report (end of shift report) incorrect?

If one of your reports isn't right, this could be for one of two reasons:

1. Your Z report should only be processed at the end of each day to show you the full day's transactions. Once done, it clears/resets your totals. If you've completed multiple Z report  throughout the day, you'll need to add all of these together to give you your correct end of shift totals.

2. PayPoint One only: If a PayPoint transaction fails, it'll show as a negative value in your basket and will need to be 'Checked out' to complete the transaction. If you've voided a failed transaction, the device will think you've taken that money and will show on your report.

How do I print my X report (shift report) and Z report (end of shift report)?

X report
Your X report, also known as a shift report,  can be run throughout the day and will give you your running totals.

Z report
Your Z report, also known as an end of shift report, should be run at the end of the day. It'll show you your totals for the day and will reset them, ready for your next day of trading.

How to run a report
If you have a PayPoint One device, open the 'Till' app. Press 'More, 'Cash' and then choose whether you want to run your X or Z report.

If you have a PayPoint Mini, open the PayPoint app and press 'Reporting.' Choose whether you want to run your X or Z report.

Can I re-print an X or Z report?

For PayPoint One devices, you can re-print previous reports quickly and easily from the 'Till' app:


1. Select 'More' then 'Admin'
2. Select 'shift reports' to show the last 1,000 reports you've run
3. Find the one(s) you want and print
