Hi, what does 'Can we restrict' mean here exactly?

hardy quiver Oct 6, 2025, 2:15 PM

#

means when a user connects one card reader from kiosk device using bluetooth pairing, can we restrict that card reader from connecting to other devices

From looking at https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/payments/connect-reader?terminal-sdk-platform=ios&reader-type=bluetooth#automatic-reconnection-on-application-start, it sounds like we do not automatically reconnect to a reader when your application starts. I also see https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/payments/connect-reader?terminal-sdk-platform=ios&reader-type=bluetooth#bluetooth-pairing

Stripe uses the numeric comparison Bluetooth pairing process for WisePad 3 card readers. The numeric comparison process requires you to verify a passkey on both your card reader and the POS device when pairing.

It sounds like as long as you have not already pared them it should not connect automatically. Are you seeing this behave differently?

#

i am not talking about connecting automatically, I am saying that any other application will not connect our card reader which we have paired and connected already

Terminals have a serial number that will be part of the reader object that is returned by discoverReaders, so your app can store the serial number of the terminal it connects to and make sure to only connect to that Terminal going forward

#

can we restrict card reader to not to connect to any other applications?

silk pulsar Oct 6, 2025, 2:30 PM

#

The reader can't initiate a connection, only the application can, so you'll only need to implement this on your application side. I will double check but because of that I don't think there is any way to restrict this on the reader side

are you sure about it??
