@snow pumice the status only matters if you use the server-driven integration: https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/setup-integration?terminal-sdk-platform=server-driven

Yes I am building out a server-driven integration now.

gotcha so looks like the values can be online or offline based on the code. I flagged internally to also just get this documented (ugh so many "enum" properties without the clear list)

#

Cool, thank you! I appreciate the docs push as well.

#

Does offline just mean the device is literally powered down or not connected to the network, or can it also mean that it's currently handling another payment?

#

If I were to query for the reader's status while it is prompting for a card, would it be online or offline?

#

offline means that it's not connected to the network/detected by Stripe

#

Ok got it, thanks. So that means there's no way to tell via API whether the reader is currently handling a transaction?

Ahh I missed that, thank you! action.status is also more what I was looking for.
