Tip: These readers connect with the payment gateway of Stripe. The reader can be used on both web and iOS to swipe, insert, or tap credit cards. They also accept Apple Pay.
Turning the reader on and off
Connect the reader to power by plugging the provided USB-C cable into the port on the left side of your reader. Connect the opposite end of the USB-C cable to the provided power adapter and plug it into a power outlet. The Stripe Reader S700 requires a recommended 12W of power to operate properly. Stripe power adapters and cables are recommended for the charging and operation of the S700 and its accessories. Using alternative power adapters or cables might result in failure modes including inadequate S700 charging, and might invalidate your product warranty.
After the reader is fully charged, hold down the power button on the right side until the screen turns on. After the device powers on, press the power button to sleep or wake the device. To fully power off the device, hold down the power button until the power off option appears on the screen, then select it.
In a countertop deployment, leaving the device on for extended periods is expected. With a full charge, you can expect the battery to last about 15 hours.
Even when not in use, leave Stripe Reader S700 plugged in and powered on to receive automatic software updates.
