Presumably this...

  "The certificate that we use to secure our integration system expires
   on the 6th of June, 2016 and the new certificate cannot be accepted
   by POSs that run on Windows XP Service pack 2 or earlier."

...is referring to https://crt.sh/?id=1455926 and
https://crt.sh/?id=20031959.  If so, that would seem to imply that
https://crt.sh/?id=21427475 had not been issued when that article was
posted.

(The alternative, and I would suggest unlikely, explanation is that Tyro
did possess https://crt.sh/?id=21427475 when that article was posted,
but for some reason they'd already made the decision to not use it).

BTW, I found a couple of other references:
