Before you start

Before you follow these instructions to connect your Tyro EFTPOS machine to Tyro Health Online, please make sure you have:

  • Activated your Tyro EFTPOS machine.

Activate your Tyro EFTPOS machine

When you receive a new or replacement Tyro EFTPOS machine, it will display a "Sign on Failed: Terminal not Activated" message when you turn it on.

To activate the EFTPOS machine you will need to contact Tyro's 24/7 Australian-based Customer Support team to activate it in our system. To ensure it's being set up for the correct business, Customer Support will need to confirm some business details before they can proceed with the activation.

If you have Tyro EFTPOS machine that needs to be activated, please call our 24/7 Australian-based Customer Support team on 1300 00 TYRO (8976) for assistance.

Add a terminal to a location

To connect your Tyro EFTPOS machine, first sign into Tyro Health Online and:

  1. Select the ‘Location’ tab from the sidebar,

  2. Navigate to the ‘Terminal’ option for that location,

  3. ‘Add another terminal’, then

  4. Follow the on screen instructions to pair your Tyro EFTPOS machine.

Placing your terminal into 'pairing mode'

To pair your EFTPOS machine, follow these steps:

  1. Press ‘Menu

  2. Select ‘Configuration

  3. Select ‘Integrated EFTPOS

Once your terminal is ready to pair, please enter the terminal’s details (merchant ID and terminal ID) that will be displayed and follow the on-screen and terminal prompts to finalise pairing.

Processing transactions
