Sorry, not understanding the issue. What is the issue and how is it surfacing in the development of your app?
AFAIK, the location of your app developers is irrelevant. The country support for Tap to Pay is only relative to the merchant account country
boreal hedge
Hello,
I need some help, I tried to implement connectLocalMobileReader function for tap to pay feature and I recevie this error:
The Tap to Pay reader is not supported in Romania (RO) as determined by the Location this reader is registered to, none - used merchant. For more information about which countries each Terminal reader may be used in, see https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/choosing-reader-and-sdk#availability."
Why and how I can implement whatever my location is ?
sharp tundra
Yep, as stated Tap to Pay is only available in certain locations: https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/payments/setup-reader/tap-to-pay?platform=ios#availability
So you'll just need to create a 'fake' location with an address in one of those countries
boreal hedge
ok, but I done that, I sent to locationId prop from connectLocalMobileReader this location id , which is in US, however the same error
sharp tundra
What's the tml_xxx ID? Please paste the full code
boreal hedge
Full code here:
const { discoverReaders, discoveredReaders, cancelDiscovering, connectLocalMobileReader } =
useStripeTerminal({
onUpdateDiscoveredReaders: (readers) => {
console.log(">>>> readers:", readers)
handleDiscoverAReader(readers)
// The `readers` variable will contain an array of all the discovered readers.
},
onDidChangeConnectionStatus: (status) => {
// access to the current connection status
console.log(">>>> status:", status)
},
});
const handleDiscoverAReader =async (readerDiscovered:any) =>{
console.log(">>> handleReader: ", readerDiscovered)
if (readerDiscovered.length > 0){
const {reader, error} = await connectLocalMobileReader({
reader: readerDiscovered[0],
locationId: readerDiscovered[0]?.locationId
})
if (error) {
console.warn('connectLocalMobileReader error:', error);
return;
}
console.warn('Reader connected successfully', reader);
}
console.log(">>>> handleDiscoverAReader finished")
}
useEffect(() => {
console.log('Starting reader discovery...')
const discover = async () => {
// console.log('Calling discoverReaders...')
const { error } = await discoverReaders({
discoveryMethod: 'localMobile',
simulated: true, // false gives an error
})
if (error) {
console.log('Error discovering readers:', error)
} else {
console.log('discoverReaders called successfully.')
}
}
discover();
return () => {
console.log('Cancelling reader discovery...')
cancelDiscovering()
}
}, [discoverReaders, cancelDiscovering])
What's the tml_xxx you're using?
boreal hedge
I do not understand, so what is this tml_xxx which I have to use ?
sharp tundra
readerDiscovered[0]?.locationId
boreal hedge
it is a reader - detected by discoveredReaders function , and catch by onUpdateDiscoveredReaders from useStripeTerminal hook
boreal hedge
st_simulated
sharp tundra
Hmm, I don't think simulated works with Tap to Pay
boreal hedge
ok, so how I can set a "fake" location and how I can use it?
sharp tundra
What happens if you omit simulated: true from discoverReaders?
boreal hedge
simulated: true or false same error
cosmic driftBOT
sharp tundra
Can you paste the response of readerDiscovered in the handleDiscoverAReader callback
inner flame
👋 you can't use a simulated reader or location to test tap to pay. But faking a location should work fine in development.
So next step is to create a location and hard code it
And then use an actual device to test
Hmm actually one sec
I could be wrong here -- you are seeing this error on discoverReaders()? It may be that you can't test tap to pay if you aren't in a supported location since we do error if the device itself doesn't meet criteria
boreal hedge
no, I see this error when I try to connectLocalMobileReader
inner flame
Yeah but you are trying to use a simulated reader right now?
I'd test again with an actual device
boreal hedge
dicoverReaders return something , which I was thinking was for testing, something with a locationId: st_simulated
that I used it
inner flame
Yeah because you are passing simulated: true right? But that is assuming you aren't working on a tap to pay integration here.
It is the same call if you were working on a Terminal integration using a different Reader
In which case you could test with the simulated reader
But you can't do that for tap to pay
boreal hedge
I was at step 3 on this documentation page https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/payments/connect-reader?reader-type=tap-to-pay, but I am not so sure what is on the backend side, if you asking me right now... I will verify and retry
inner flame
Next step is to verify that you are passing a locationId for a location in a supported country and then to test on an actual device (make sure you don't have simulated: true )
boreal hedge
ok, how I can set a fake location to work with?
boreal hedge
ok, so I don't need to set something in stripe platform and use a token from there
