What is an unintegrated set up? 

When you use an unintegrated set up with talech, your card reader is communicating with your processor directly, without using the talech app. 

What does that mean in practice?  

If you ring up your customer's order for $16.50, this amount does not appear on your card reader automatically – as the card reader is separate to talech. 

Instead, you must type in the $16.50 on the card reader and the card reader communicates with your processor to charge your customer for the amount.  

If the transaction is successful, the customer will be charged, your card reader will communicate the transaction was a success, and you close out the order in talech.                    

To use talech reporting, it's your responsibility to record the details of the sale – because talech isn’t connected to your card reader. You need to manually record the details to see them within the talech system.
