You can order a stripe payment terminal directly from Stripe, just go to their website and click on Products, and then Terminal to order your own 'BBPOS WisePOS E' device. We can only integrate with this specific terminal as it allows web applications to connect to it.
Once you receive your payment terminal from Stripe, firstly charge up the device if it has not come partially charged.
Turn on your new device, the terminal will guide you though the initial setup and allow you to connect the terminal to your wi-fi, or if you purchased the optional charging base you can plug in an ethernet cable.

Next click from the Locations panel click on the 'New +' button

Once saved you will see the new location in the locations panel, click into the location to register the terminal to it.
Then, in the Readers panel click on the 'New +' button, and enter in the three word code and add an optional label for the reader, and click Save. You have now registered the terminal to you account.
