Step 1: Check if the Payment Gateway Is Down
Before troubleshooting credentials, confirm the payment gateway is operational.
- Note any error messages on the terminal or in the Material POS app.
- If you see a connection or timeout error, the payment gateway may be experiencing a temporary outage.
- Contact PayBright support to confirm whether there is a known outage.
If the gateway is down:
- Switch your terminal to Bypass mode to continue processing transactions.
- Press F1
- Use the down arrow to select βSPIN Bypassβ
- Press βOKβ
- Enter password β1234β and press βOKβ
- Manually key in the amount to charge customer and press βOKβ
- Have customer complete transaction as normal.

- Transactions processed in bypass mode will be batched and submitted once the gateway is back online.
- Once the outage is resolved, run a test transaction to confirm everything is working normally.
If the gateway is not down, move to Step 2.
Step 2: Verify Your Payment Credentials
If the gateway is operational, the issue is likely incorrect or missing payment credentials in the POS app. You will need your TPN, AuthKey, and iPOS Token from PayBright.
- Open the Material POS app
- Go to Settings > Payment Processing

- Verify that the following fields match the credentials provided by PayBright:
- TPN
- AuthKey
- iPOS Token
- If any field is incorrect or empty, enter the correct value and tap βSave Changesβ
- Run a test transaction to confirm the terminal is now processing
If you do not have your credentials, contact PayBright support to request them at (984) 272-2568.
Still Not Working?
If your credentials are correct in the POS app and the gateway is not down:
- The terminal itself may need to be reconfigured. Contact PayBright support to verify the terminal-side setup.
- If the issue persists, contact Material POS support for further assistance at (646) 368-9685 x2.
