Configure the cellular network

Remotely configure a cellular network for your readers.

Information

Cellular configuration only applies to the Stripe Reader S710.

Terminal readers that support cellular capability can operate in either WiFi or cellular mode. When cellular mode is enabled, the device automatically connects to the internet over cellular whenever WiFi is unavailable. To indicate which readers you want to enable cellular on, create cellular-enabled Locations in the Dashboard or with the Configuration API.

After you configure the location, you can register your reader to the Location, which tells the reader to enable cellular functionality. By default, locations have cellular functionality disabled.

Caution

Cellular-capable readers, such as the Stripe S710, are billed for cellular usage. Cellular usage fees are billed on a monthly basis and are in addition to other fees. You incur cellular usage fees for a reader when you enable cellular on that reader at any time during a calendar month. See Terminal pricing for more details.
