'Single Daily Settlement' (SDS) refers to the way we settle any money to or from our retailers. This offsets your PayPoint debits against your credits in one transaction, instead of debiting you and crediting you separately. PayPoint transactions, invoices, credits and commission all form part of your SDS. If you've opted in for Cardnet net settlement, your card transactions will form part of this too.
This service makes managing cash easier and could save you money on banking charges.
ACS provides industry leading information and guides on all aspects of regulatory compliance for convenience retailing. These are covered by the Assured Advice guides and Training Scheme.

Your commission will form part of your 'Single Daily Settlement' and will be settled within Tuesday's Direct Debit total each week.

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

If you're not able to process PayPoint transactions or card payments due to an issue with your internet, there's a few checks you can complete:
PayPoint One1. Check all of the lights on your router are on and steady; this'll let you know if you have a good internet connection2. If the internet is working and you're connected via ethernet cable, try moving it to another port in the router and reboot your device
PayPoint Mini device1. Connect your mobile to your Wi-Fi, turn off your mobile data and try to use the internet; this'll help you identify if your internet's working or not2. Through 'device settings', try disconnecting and reconnecting your Wi-Fi3. If your internet's working but your PayPoint device isn't, it's likely due to your signal strength. You can try to move the router close, reduce the amount of device using the Wi-Fi or speak to your internet provider
