Valor – Prompt for Customer Name on Sale
Overview
A merchant may report that their Valor terminal prompts them to enter a customer name when processing a sale.
This typically occurs when the Vault Card Saver feature is enabled on the terminal. Disabling Vault Card Saver will remove the customer's name prompt.

After disabling Vault Card Saver:
- Have the merchant process a test sale.
- Confirm that the terminal no longer prompts the customer's name.
- If the prompt continues, verify that Vault Card Saver is disabled on the specific terminal being used.
Important: Always perform a test transaction after changing this setting to confirm the issue has been resolved.
Additional Notes

- The setting is changed at the terminal level.
- If the merchant has multiple Valor terminals, the setting may need to be disabled individually on each affected device.
