How to onboard an ADS-TEC Energy ChargePost payment terminal

Add an ADS-TEC Energy ChargePost payment terminal to your charging infrastructure

Please note that vaylens currently only supports Payment Terminals that are configured with the following Payment Service Providers (PSP): Payone, Fiserv and Planet. 

The menu item Manage > Payment Terminal offers the possibility to manage your payment terminals. 

The overview provides you with terminal specific information such as Name, Terminal ID, Serial Number, Charging station ID, address information and tariff.

If a valid tariff has been assigned, this is shown here as a green tick. If an invalid tariff has been assigned, this is shown by an orange warning triangle and an error message.

  • The charger only supports kWh based price components of the assigned tariff. If a minute or session price component is assigned, the tariff is marked as invalid.
  • Within the DC charge points, the tariff must be the same for all charge points. If a different tariff is assigned to at least one DC charge point, the tariff is marked as invalid.

To add an ADS-TEC ChargePost payment terminal to your charging infrastructure, go to Manage > Payment Terminal, select the Integrated tab and click + Create new.

A wizard will open and guide you through the process. On the second step Master data, select the payment terminal Manufacturer and Model, assign a Name, enter the Payment Terminal Serial number as well as the Terminal ID (TID). The payment terminal serial number is printed on the shipping label of the charger or can be found on the back of the payment terminal itself. 

If you do not have your own contract with a PSP, the terminal ID needs to be requested from vaylens in advance. Please send a request to help@emobility.software with following information:

  • Company name

  • Business partner address (city, postal code, street & house number)

  • Total number of payment terminals to be integrated

  • Location of the charger (city, postal code, street & house number)

  • Commissioning date

Please note that it may take about two weeks to provide a terminal ID.

The next step is to assign the charger into which the payment terminal is integrated. The list of chargers can be limited using the search and filter function. The process is completed by clicking on Save and Continue.

Please note that ADS-TEC manages its own dedicated receipt server, which is designed to operate independently without external access. As a result, charging receipts are only available through the ADS-TEC receipt server and not via ev-beleg.de. To obtain the URL of the receipt server, please contact the manufacturer directly.

To complete the final setup, a technician or staff member will need to access the physical payment terminal on site and conduct a local configuration.
