# Retrieve processing terminal

`GET /processing-terminals/{processingTerminalId}`

**Important:** You can retrieve a processing terminal only if the terminal order was created using the Payroc API.

Use this method to retrieve information about a processing terminal.  

To retrieve a processing terminal, you need its processingTerminalId. Our gateway returned the processingTerminalId in the response of the [Create Terminal Order](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/processing-accounts/create-terminal-order) method.  

**Note:** If you don't have the processingTerminalId, use our [Retrieve Terminal Order](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/terminal-orders/retrieve) method or our [List Processing Terminals](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/processing-accounts/list-processing-terminals) method to search for the processing terminal.  

Our gateway returns the following information about the processing terminal:  

- Status indicating whether the terminal is active or inactive.  
- Configuration settings, including gateway settings and application settings.  
- Features, receipt settings, and security settings.  
- Devices that use the processing terminal's configuration.
