# How Authorized Employees Use Integration Bypass

1. At checkout, confirm there is an approved reason not to use the connected terminal.
2. Choose the bypass or non-integrated option.
3. Enter the integration PIN when prompted.
4. Verify the external terminal or payment source shows a valid approval.
5. Record the correct tender and complete checkout.
6. Retain any required receipt or approval reference.

Never use bypass to avoid a decline, connection warning, or uncertain transaction without verifying the real payment status.
