Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide
If you're encountering a "Device Unreachable" error, it means your terminal is unable to connect to the Finix backend server. This guide will walk you through several steps to try and resolve this connectivity issue and get your device back online.
1. Verify Payment App Status

- If incorrect, adjust the time zone in the Device settings
