The second mode provides access to a CSI on the touch display and does not provide access to the MSI on the touch display. The system also includes a merchant display device having a second touch display. The merchant display device provides access to the MSI on the second touch display. The system also includes a wire that provides a communicative connection between the dual mode payment interface device and the merchant display device.
