Display Message

The Display Message Command is used to present a plain text message on a Moneris Go terminal screen for the cardholder or end user. This functionality is typically used to provide instructions, confirmations, or other contextual information during the transaction flow.

Once displayed, the message remains visible on the terminal until one of the following occurs:

  • A new command is issued by the ECR/POS system

  • The specified timeout period elapses

  • The ECR session times out.

This command is especially useful in guiding customers through custom workflows, alerting them to wait states, or providing reassurance during longer processing times.

NOTE
The message content is defined by the ECR and can be customized to suit the merchant’s business flow or customer experience strategy.
