Connect BBPOS WisePOS E to the Payment app

Short answer: Connect the WisePOS E to your network, register it in your Stripe Dashboard with its pairing code, then pick it from the app's smart reader list.

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, and 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. On the reader, open Settings and generate a pairing code (three words). Enter it on the Terminal Readers page with Register reader, or tap Register in the app's smart reader list (Android: Register new Terminal). 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: tap Connect reader at the top of the charge screen (or in the menu), then Smart reader. Under Select reader, pick the reader whose serial number matches yours. 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.
