# Adds forms to Terminal readers to collect user information

## What’s new

Adds the ability for Terminal readers to collect customer information using the [collect_inputs](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/readers/collect_inputs.md?api-version=2025-05-28.basil) endpoint. Also adds the testing endpoints [succeed_input_collection](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/readers/succeed_input_collection.md?api-version=2025-05-28.basil) and [timeout_input_collection](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/readers/timeout_input_collection.md?api-version=2025-05-28.basil), which don’t require a physical Terminal reader.

## Impact

You can now display forms on Terminal readers to collect information from customers, such as signature, selection, email, phone, text, and other numeric values.

See [Collect on-screen inputs](https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/features/collect-inputs.md) to learn more.
