Why does the language on the machine change when an international card is used?

On occasion when a customer pays with an international card, the language on-screen may adapt to make the transaction easier for your customer.

For example, if a customer uses a French card, the approval screen text will often appear in French, in this situation please look out for the big green tick for proof of a successful transaction, or a big red x meaning the transaction has failed.

Why does the customer's payment reference show up as Kody or KodyPay?

On occasion, your customers' bank statement may display Kody or KodyPay instead of your business name for a payment made at your establishment - this can happen during some early transactions when your business has just started using Kody. Don't worry, this will go away automatically, typically within 24 hours. If it doesn't, please let us know.
