Verifone UX700 readerPrivate preview

Learn how to set up the Verifone UX700 reader.

Private preview

Verifone reader support is in private preview and invite-only in the US. If you’re part of the preview, we directly provide you with the applicable reader, rather than you ordering it through the Dashboard.

The Stripe Terminal SDK connects to the 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 UX700, 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 UX700 product sheet.

Turn the reader on and off

Connect the reader to power by plugging the 4-pin cable into the 6-pin port on the back of your UX700 reader. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet. Use of power adapters other than the one supplied from Verifone might invalidate your product warranty.

Power button

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.

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. To close the settings menu, touch the back arrow in the top left corner.

Connect the reader to the internet

Because the UX700 is a smart reader, its reader software communicates directly with Stripe. The UX700 can connect to the internet using WiFi or Ethernet. 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 UX700 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

The UX700 reader provides wired 10/100 Ethernet connectivity.

Ethernet connector

To set up Ethernet connectivity:

Connect the Ethernet cable from the UX700’s Ethernet port to your router.
Make sure the device is powered on and connected to the power adapter.

To confirm the reader’s Ethernet connectivity, make sure the Ethernet icon is visible in the status bar.

The reader obtains an IP address using DHCP. As soon as the network cable is plugged in, the reader attempts to establish communication with Stripe.

Network priority

The UX700 prioritizes connecting through Ethernet if possible. If an Ethernet cable is connected, the reader uses the wired connection. If you disconnect the Ethernet cable, it switches back to the WiFi connection if configured.

Change the UI appearance

By default, the UI of the UX700 reader uses a light theme.
