Using the Stripe M2 card reader on the Android app

  • Updated

The Stripe Reader M2 is a pocket-sized Bluetooth reader. Here's how to pair it with the Payment for Stripe app on Android.

  1. Make sure location services are enabled for the Payment app, and turn the M2 on.
  2. Open the app, tap the menu icon (top-left) to open the navigation drawer, and tap Connect Bluetooth Reader:
    Android menu showing Connect Bluetooth Reader
  3. Choose Stripe Reader M2 and pair the one whose serial number matches your reader.
  4. Enter an amount, tap the arrow to continue, then follow the prompt to tap, insert, or swipe the card on the reader.

You'll get lower in-person ("card-present") rates when you charge through the reader.
