Join nowI'm getting a message that the payment token is going to expire. What is this related to?
Good day, @Creations by Lisa.
I'm glad you've reached out to us. Allow me to help and provide some insights about the prompt message you're getting.
We've increased the security of all merchant services accounts and will now require authentication periodically. You'll need to verify your account credentials every six months to avoid any errors when processing a credit or debit payment in Point of Sale (POS).
To refresh your account token, just click the Refresh link. Once done, the error message won't appear until it's time to refresh your payment token again.
Feel free to leave a comment below if you have any other concerns about token. I'm always here to help you out.
Where is the REFRESH button?
Thanks for joining this conversation, melissa12.
If you're using Merchant Service Center or Point of Sale, you can refresh it by clicking F5 on your keyboard.
You can also follow the steps below to get rid of the payment token message:
Here's an article that may come handy: Merchant Services in Point of Sale with MFA and Token expiration.
Let me know how that works for you. As always, I'm only a few clicks away if you should have questions about this or anything else. Take care.
I clicked on the Refresh button yesterday, and got the same message saying it was going to expire in x number of days. I just did it again today to see if notification goes away the next time I power up.
Thank adding a post, @Mike1953.
I'd be happy to help guide you to the right support who can help check and investigate this further for you.
Since you're still receiving the same error message after refreshing your account token, I recommend contacting our Merchant Support to check this further for you. For the support's contact information, you may check it here: Which Payments product do you need help with?.
You may also refer to this article if you have any other questions about the security of the Merchant Services account: Access your Merchant Services account FAQs.

Hello there, kidd5710.
The Email or user ID will already have your information pre-filled when signing in. That user ID is based on what you've entered the first time you've linked your Merchant Services account. If you changed it through your merchant account directly, it won't reflect on your Point of Sale (POS).
In your case, you'll have to update the version of your POS to the latest release. This helps the user ID to be refreshed so you can change it. Go to the Help menu and select Software Updates. Then, click the Check for software updates.
You can also update it through our support site.
If you still can't change the user ID, I'd suggest contacting our Point of Sale Support. I know you don't want to call them, however, that's the best way so they can check it further.
I'm always here if you have other concerns POS.
