Hello! What docs have yous tarted looking at already?

ashen hill
#

I believe the last one is where I need to be, but just making sure I'm not going down the wrong path here

#

is "Terminal" the same as "Server-Driven"?

#

Once the reader connected, that connection is constant, correct? This doesn't need to be done multiple times?

#

With the server driven integration there isn't really a "connection" between your POS and the terminal reader so the only thing you really need to do is create/register the reader in the API, which you should only need to do once

ashen hill
#

got it - so, with the "register" code, it's "connecting" based on an API Key -- can it be on both test and live ?

#

rather, the "connect to a reader" code

#

basically triyng to figure out if I can have the program be able to toggle back and forth between test and live with the same reader

worn carbon
#

You'd have to register the reader separate in live and test mode

#

so you'd have different reader IDs in live vs test

ashen hill
#

so here's where I'd be sending it to live vs prod reader ID, correct?

#

just making sure I have the correct terminology based on my 10 minutes reading the docs here so far 🙂

worn carbon
#

yup!

ashen hill
#

next question - is there a minimum version of the API needed to use these?

#

and/or a minimum version of the stripe.net library in Visual Studio / NuGet package?

got it. I agree that "latest" is best, but I have some legacy stuff in there I'm trying not to break if I can help it.

#

appreciate your help I think I have a good start here now, and I'll jump back in if I need something specific.
