Close and reopen the DealerWorks app

Modified on Mon, Sep 14 at 5:34 PM

The quickest fix for a terminal that’s frozen, stuck on a loading screen, or won’t take a card. Try this before you unplug anything.

If a payment was going through when it froze, stop. Read It froze while a payment was going through first. Closing the app before we know whether the card was charged can lead to charging the customer twice.

Close the app and open it again

  1. Press the square button at the bottom right of the terminal.
  2. Swipe up on the DealerWorks window to close it completely.
    It has to leave the screen. Tapping away from it isn’t the same thing.
  3. Tap the DealerPOS icon on the home screen.

If that didn’t fix it

Restart the terminal itself — see Restart a terminal.
