How Payter Terminal Works with Tridens EV Charge
Payter’s role is the payment terminal provider, abbreviated as PTP, having the back-office platform and payment terminals, which are also known as Points of Sale or POS.
한편, Tridens EV 충전 플랫폼의 운영자는 충전소 운영자(CPO)의 역할을 수행하며 충전 위치와 인프라를 제어하고 모니터링합니다.
Tridens EV Charge exposes your charging network via OCPI, so the Payter platform with terminals can discover chargers, control sessions, and receive cost information.
Payter reads payment cards on-site and communicates with their platform to authorize money resources based on the tariff configuration. Once authorized, the Payter requests the charging session to start on Tridens via OCPI. At session end, the final payment amount is captured from the payment card owner.
Payter Apollo Models
Payter offers different terminal model options where your model selection may also differ depending on where the terminal will reside, considering outdoor weather conditions or more friendly environment. It also depends if you require contactless or contact-based card reader and PIN entry.
A few models to consider:
- Apollo,
- Apollo Polar,
- and ApolloMAX.

Pro tip:
It is possible to use the payment terminal on a single charger or on multiple chargers as the kiosk.

4단계: 충전 인프라 노출하기
You want to expose your charging infrastructure to Payter. To achieve this, assign an unique 로밍 ID 원하는 경우 영역, 충전기 그리고 커넥터 에서 Tridens EV 충전 및 충전기 로밍을 활성화합니다.
Connectors in payment roaming also need to have the ‘physical_reference’ custom attribute set for the Payter integration to represent a relation to its physical appearance code label.

More details about applying the roaming settings on your charging infrastructure in Tridens EV Charge is described at 영역 그리고 로밍 프로필.
5단계: 비용 로밍 요금 할당하기
You need to define the expense tariffs and prices for calculating the costs of using your chargers. These costs will be used for card payments. Tariffs are schedule-based, with recurrency and one-time options. Expenses can be set for energy, charging time, parking time, and general flat fee, including VAT control and the total money reservation amount.
다음으로 이동 로밍 을 클릭하고 왼쪽 메뉴에서 관세, where you need to add a new 애드혹 type tariff definition with time validity and maximum amount limit, for example 100 EUR, which is then used by Payter to authorize the money amount of the payment card customer.

In the next step, add the Tariff Elements with cost (energy, time, flat) and recurrency time settings.

할당 로밍 요금 on the charging infrastructure context (one of Site/Operator/Area/Charger/Connector) and also to the Roaming Platform of Payter.


Step 6: Fetch Terminals from Payter
가져오기 터미널 from Payter to Tridens on the Roaming Platform.
Assign Terminal’s Roaming reference with predefined CPO name as agreed and assigned by Payter at onboarding. This attribute may also be referred to as the customer reference.
Assign Terminal to the desired Area and/or Connector. This way, Payter will recognize which terminal serves to which exact location, charger, and connector.

7단계: 원활한 작동을 위한 충전기 및 세션 설정
As the CPO, you want to ensure that charging infrastructure events, including session events, are properly exchanged. Thus, the charger configuration in Tridens EV Charge must meet a few important considerations, resulting in events reported on regular intervals with sufficient data (power and energy progression) and cover border cases. This will contribute to payment terminals working properly and external users having better experience of charging.
