How do I automatically print orders?

Use any Android phone or tablet with Android 8.0 or 9.0.
Be sure to use a dedicated phone or tablet for CIRCL and not share it with another app, e.g. don’t use your POS tablet. This way you’ll avoid missing orders.
For multi-station printing, get the CIRCL Print app from Google Play Store, turn on Bluetooth, then go into Settings>Printer to connect it.
- Send yourself a test order…it should print automatically!

What’s the difference between secure printing and non-secure printing?

Unsecured Bluetooth connections can get mixed up, especially if there are other Bluetooth devices nearby. This may cause your printer to lose its Bluetooth connection periodically.
Secure Bluetooth requires a password to connect. This means your Secure Bluetooth Printer will not try to pair with other devices. It provides a much more stable connection.

How does online payments work?

CIRCL has partnered with payment partners for processing online payments. During registration, merchants will create an account directly with one of our payment partners. Partners automatically pay out directly to merchant bank accounts, after deducting the below fees. CIRCL does not charge additional payment processing fees. Payouts come directly from the payment processor and do not go through CIRCL. Fees charged by our payment partner are subject to change (though we haven’t seen any changes for the past few years).

What is required to accept online payments like Visa and Mastercard?

You will be required to register an account with our payment partner. On their secure site, you will be required to verify yourself, your business (if registered), and your credentials (phone, address), and agree to the terms and conditions of our payment partner.

When will my billing cycle renew?

Your billing cycle renews every month on the same date of the month that your paid subscription began. If your paid subscription began on the 31st, then your billing cycle will renew on the last day of each month.

How do I cancel?

Please login to your account at www.circl.it to cancel at least one day before the end of your billing cycle and verify that you would like to cancel.
Then, login to your CIRCL Store app, go to Settings, and uncheck the “Credit card” selection.

When will I get paid?

Our payment partner automatically pays your bank account after a fixed number of days. This varies by country. For major countries, this payout take 2-7 days from the customer payment date. You may check your payout schedule below.

Will I always get the full amount after the payment processing partner's commission is deducted?

Yes, but with standard exceptions typical of any credit card transaction. If the customer disputes the charge, then standard dispute resolution processes by payment companies begin. If they determine that the customer dispute is valid, then your payout will be adjusted by this amount.
