Collect tapped data for NFC instrumentsPrivate preview

Use Terminal for data collection of NFC instruments with the reader hardware interfaces.

Copy page

Private preview

Request access to the Collect data private preview by sending an email to terminal-collect-data@stripe.com. Provide your use case, Terminal device, and integration type.

Use the Terminal SDK and the reader’s contactless interface to read the unique identifier (UID) of NFC instruments, such as cards or wristbands. This feature is available offline.

After tapping your NFC instrument, the Terminal SDK provides a collected data object with the NFC UID, or an error if one occurred.

Warning

You can’t use this feature to collect card payments. Follow these instructions to collect payments using Stripe Terminal.

Collecting tapped data for NFC instruments is available in:

Collect data

Use Terminal.collectData() to prompt for data collection from your point of sale application. Specify the type of collected data you want to receive, such as NFC UID, in a configuration passed to the function. After tapping an NFC instrument, the SDK returns a collected data object with the NFC UID, or an error if the read was unsuccessful.

import UIKit
import StripeTerminal

class PaymentViewController: UIViewController {
    func readNfcUid() throws {
        let config = try CollectDataConfigurationBuilder().setCollectDataType(.nfcUid).build()
        self.cancelable = Terminal.shared.collectData(config) { collectedData, collectError in
            if let error = collectError {
                // Placeholder for handling exceptions
            } else if let nfcUid = collectedData?.nfcUid {
                // Placeholder for receiving NFC UID
                print("NFC UID is: \(nfcUid)")
            }
        }
    }
