Electric Vehicle Charging
This guide and the corresponding flow diagrams are designed for Charge Point Operators (CPO), Charge Point Manufacturers (OEM’s) or Charge Station Management System (CSMS) developers to provide a series of recommended procedures for single or multiple connectors on chargers that are integrated with Payter terminals using cloud APIs.
The guide is structured into four key steps. Each step focuses on different aspects of utilizing Payter services to enhance the user experience and operational efficiency.
Whilst much of the content in this guide applies to both the P6x and Apollo device families, some functionality is only possible with the newer Apollo range, particularly graphical User Interface customisation and Incremental Authorization features.
This guide frequently refers to MyPayter, the terminal management and reporting portal used to manage all Payter solutions. Be mindful that there are entirely separate test and production versions of MyPayter so please ensure any changes made take place in the most appropriate version for your requirements.
Please also note that, for security reasons, the two deployments are entirely separated meaning that it is not possible to move or copy any configuration parameters from one to the other.
All references to the display or provision of a receipt merely indicate that it would be commonplace or recommended for integrators to provide receipt data at this stage. Payter solutions cannot generate receipts directly, and will only display provided text, images or QR code as defined and controlled by the integrator who must otherwise include or have access to a receipt generation and management solution.
Below is an overview of each step:
Topic | Description |
|---|---|
Here, we discuss several options available for starting and ending a session on a charger using Payter terminals. This section contains several different approaches already ‘standard’ in the EV charging market. | |
Standard Use Cases | This details some successful implementation flows, including alternative and optional paths. These flows are designed to help integrators leverage Payter Cloud Payment Services to maximize functionality and user satisfaction. |
A comprehensive set of recommendations for optimizing the use of terminals, specifically tailored for Payter integrations. |
