Connect to a reader

You can register your reader directly in the Dashboard.

Register by registration code

1. In the Readers page, click Register reader.
2. If you have a Verifone P400, enter the key sequence 0-7-1-3-9 to display a unique registration code. If you have a BBPOS WisePOS E or Stripe Reader S700, go to the reader settings and tap Generate pairing code.
3. Enter the registration code then click Next.
4. Optionally, choose a name for the reader.
5. If you already created a Location, select the reader’s new Location. Otherwise, create a Location by clicking + Add new.
6. Click Register to finish registering your reader.

Register by serial number

1. In the Readers page, click Register reader.
2. Find the serial number on the device and enter the serial number. To register multiple devices at once, you can enter multiple serial numbers separated by commas.
3. Optionally, choose a name for the reader.
4. If you already created a Location, select the reader’s new Location. Otherwise, create a Location by clicking + Add new.
5. Click Register to finish registering your reader. You can only register readers that you or your platform have ordered.

Register by hardware order

1. In the Hardware orders page, find an order with a status of either “shipped” or “delivered.” Click the overflow menu () at the end of the row, then click Register.
2. On the Register Readers page, select one or more readers from the hardware order to register, then click Register.
3. Optionally, choose a name for the reader. If you selected multiple readers, the name serves as a prefix and we name the readers sequentially (for example, for a given input of “Test reader”, we name the readers “Test reader 1”, “Test reader 2”, and so on).
4. If you already created a Location, select the reader’s new Location. Otherwise, create a Location by clicking + Add new.
5. Click Register to finish registering your readers.
