👋 happy to help

#

would you mind elaborating more?

#

So Im interested in knowing the best practice for displaying column. Text on a stripe terminal
Say
Tax 100$
Fees 200$

Etc but since description is not monospaced, what is the best practice of doing that

#

I have some answers in mind but id like to know whats the usual

What do you mean by 'monospaced'? Can you share an image of what you have working on the reader and what specifically you want to change? Not sure I understand

1 second

#

Basically letters on the machine dont fit the same space ‘i’ and ‘w’ fit differently u know

Not familiar with this screen. How are you displaying those values? Are they values collected via inputs on the reader?

river wasp
#

This is the reader, im sending custom text to stripe which sends it to this device

novel comet
#

Just you linked to on-screen inputs in your original message which seems unrelated? I'm trying to understand what APIs/features you're using to do this so I can see if what you want to do is possible

#

Hmm i was using collect inputs selection

#

Is that wrong?

#

This basically

novel comet
#

Well it's not 'wrong' per se as I don't know what you're building. But I don't think the UI is customisable, no

river wasp
#

What is collect inputs mainly used for then?

#

Just curious

novel comet
#

Collect email addresses, consent to ToS, etc

#

Anything really

river wasp
#

Im sending an estimate of the prices from my service so u wouldnt recommend using collect inputs for that?

novel comet
#

As I said, your use case is probably fine but it might not work if you want to display a cart style list of items pre payment

novel comet
river wasp
#

Yes, just approval wait lemme send a better pic

novel comet

#

I was just wondering if this is normal

#

Cause im kinda a newbie from side of sending stuff to the terminal via stripe

novel comet
#

Ah, I see now. Its just one big 'selection' screen and they tap yes/no

river wasp
#

Yep

novel comet
#

Is that more aligned with what you actually want (display line items pre-payment)?

novel comet
# river wasp

But otherwise you can't customise this text to the extent you want with inputs, no

river wasp
#

Our flow is that accept needs to go back to server not instantly initiate payment unfortunately

novel comet

#

Oh ok ok, ill check it out more thoroughly, but I think u answered all my concerns :p

#

And gave me extra stuff to work on 😅

novel comet
#

Pair that with the on-screen reader cart and then you'll have a saved card you can charge later for the approved estimate

river wasp
#

Ohhh

#

Well i just have to go redraw some of the flow

#

Thank you very much

Sure, let us know if you've any follow-ups
