Verifone P630 readerPrivate preview

The Stripe Terminal SDK connects to this reader over the internet, LAN, or handoff mode. This reader is compatible with the following integrations:

• JavaScript SDK
• iOS SDK
• Android SDK
• React Native SDK
• Server-driven

For the P630, we recommend the server-driven integration, which uses the Stripe API instead of a Terminal SDK. To view the reader’s parts and features, see the P630 product sheet.

Turn the reader on and off

Connect the reader to power by plugging the provided USB-C cable into the port on the side of your P630 reader. Connect the opposite end of the USB-C cable to the provided power adapter and plug it into a power outlet. The P630 requires 10W of power to operate properly. Verifone power adapters and cables are recommended for the charging and operation of the P630 and its accessories. Using alternative power adapters or cables might result in failure modes, including inadequate P630 charging, and can invalidate your product warranty.

Power button

Charge the P630 device for three hours before initial use. After the reader is fully charged, hold the power button for about 3 seconds until the device displays the startup screen. Don’t let the battery charge fall below 10% for an extended period of time, because that can permanently diminish the battery capacity.

To turn off the device, hold the power button for about 3 seconds until the shutdown options appear on the screen. Touch Power off to turn it off.

In a mobile deployment, the P630 can operate for up to 10 hours on a single charge with normal use. The device can last up to 7 days in standby mode. When not in use, turn on the P630 periodically to receive automatic Stripe software updates.

Access settings

To open the settings menu, swipe right from the left edge of the reader screen to reveal a Settings button. Tap the Settings button and enter the admin pin 07139. From here, you can update your WiFi settings or generate a pairing code for device registration. Battery status appears at the top right of this screen. To close the settings menu, touch the back arrow in the top left corner.

Connect the reader to the internet

Because the P630 is a smart reader, its reader software communicates directly with Stripe. The P630 can connect to the internet using WiFi or cellular data. Your point of sale application communicates with the reader through either a LAN (using a Terminal SDK) or the internet (using the server-driven integration).

When communicating with the reader through the LAN, you must connect the reader to the same local network as your point of sale application. If you’re running into issues connecting your reader to the internet, see the P630 troubleshooting guide.

WiFi

To connect to WiFi or switch networks, go to the network and WiFi settings, choose the network, and connect. Attempting to join a new network disconnects the reader from any existing wireless connection. To learn more about supported WiFi networks, see Network requirements.

Ethernet

Ethernet connectivity requires the Orange Dongle, which provides wired 10/100 Ethernet connectivity.

Network priority

The P630 reader prioritizes connecting through WiFi if possible.
