Set up a card reader at the desk

Pair a physical reader so you can take card payments in person.

4 steps · About 4 minutes · Needs: Stripe connected, and the reader in front of you

1. Open On-site

   If it's not in the sidebar, add it from All features at the foot of the sidebar list. See Features.

   Your eventManageOn-site

2. On the reader itself, generate its Pairing code

   It's under Settings on the reader's own screen.

3. Under Register a reader, enter a Name and the Pairing code

   Name it after where it stands, for example "Front desk". Choose a Stripe location from your connected Stripe account.

   To add one, expand Create a location, enter its name and address, choose its country, then press Create a location. Required address fields are marked with an asterisk for the selected country. In Ireland, enter address line 1 and a postal code. The new location is selected, and your reader name and pairing code stay in the form.

4. Select Register reader

   The reader gets a Door page link and a PIN. Open that link on a phone at the desk to ring up sales.

   If registering doesn't work, the form comes back with the name and pairing code still filled in and the Stripe location still selected. Correct what's wrong and select Register reader again.

   The reader’s details show its name and Stripe location name, with links to Stripe Dashboard.
