Connect BBPOS WisePOS E to the Payment app

The BBPOS WisePOS E is a countertop smart reader that connects over the internet (WiFi or ethernet). Here's how to get it running with Payment for Stripe — no code required.

1. Set up the reader. Follow Stripe's hardware guide to power on the WisePOS E and connect it to your network: WisePOS E setup.
2. Allow location access for the Payment app. Stripe Terminal requires it for fraud detection — the reader won't work without it. (iOS / Android location guides.)
3. Register the reader in your Stripe Dashboard, which also creates a Location for it. See Stripe's guide under "Register in the Dashboard": Register your reader. You can skip the API steps and close the Dashboard afterward.
4. Connect it in the app:
   • iOS: open the menu → Connect Card Reader, then under Smart Readers choose BBPOS WisePOS E. Pick the reader whose serial number matches yours.
     
   • Android: open the menu → Connect Internet Reader. If you haven't created a Location yet, you'll be prompted to.
   The reader may install a firmware update the first time it connects.
5. You're ready to take payments. You still enter amounts and pick products in the app — only the card tap or insert happens on the reader.
