Accept credit card payment using Mercury
========================================

A MercuryPay account (see `*MercuryPay
website* <https://www.mercurypay.com/>`__) is required to accept credit
card payments in Odoo 11 PoS with an integrated card reader. MercuryPay
only operates with US and Canadian banks making this procedure only
suitable for North American businesses.

An alternative to an integrated card reader is to work with a standalone
card reader, copy the transaction total from the Odoo POS screen into
the card reader, and record the transaction in Odoo POS.

Install Mercury
===============

To install Mercury go to :menuselection:`Apps` and search for the
*Mercury* module.
