Troubleshoot the Verifone V660p reader.
Public preview
Verifone reader support is in public preview for the US and CA. To join the preview, you must contact the Sales team to order the applicable reader.
The Verifone V660p is an Android-based smart reader for countertop and handheld use. You can customise the on-reader checkout UI using both prebuilt and custom elements.
The Stripe Terminal SDK connects to the reader over the internet, LAN, or handoff mode. This reader is compatible with JavaScript SDK, iOS SDK, Android SDK, React Native SDK, and server-driven integrations.
For point of sale systems on separate devices without offline card payment collection, we recommend the server-driven integration.

Troubleshoot the reader
Make sure your network meets all of our network requirements, and try the steps in the network troubleshooting section.
To begin troubleshooting, use the following common scenarios to help diagnose the issue.
Run diagnostics
The V660p includes built-in diagnostics that can help you identify connectivity and configuration issues. Run these diagnostics as the first step when troubleshooting any reader problems.
To access the diagnostics menu:
- Swipe in from the left edge of the screen on your reader.
- Tap Settings.
- Enter the admin passcode. The default is 0-7-1-3-9.
- Select Diagnostics.
The diagnostics menu displays test results and information about your reader:
- DNS resolution: Verifies that the reader can resolve domain names.
- Stripe connectivity: Verifies that the reader can connect to Stripe servers. This test must pass for your reader to process payments and receive updates.
- Terminal events connectivity: Tests the reader’s connection to the Stripe event infrastructure.
- Wi-Fi information: Shows Wi-Fi frequency and signal strength (if connected using Wi-Fi).
Note
If the Stripe connectivity test fails, your reader won’t be able to process payments or receive software updates. Follow the network troubleshooting steps to resolve connectivity issues.
We recommend running diagnostics whenever you experience issues with your reader, or as part of your regular maintenance routine to proactively identify potential problems.
The reader won’t charge
If the V660p doesn’t charge, make sure you use the included power supply.
The reader can’t connect
Check Wi-Fi settings in the reader’s menu. Run diagnostics to verify Stripe connectivity.
The reader won’t update
If your reader doesn’t update, it’s possible that it can’t connect to Stripe. Run the diagnostics tests to check Stripe connectivity. Make sure the Stripe connectivity test says Passed. If the test fails, follow the troubleshooting steps.
If you use a router, refer to your router’s manual and reconfigure the networking setup.
