hi there 👋 looking into your question now

steep timber Mar 10, 2026, 12:00 PM

#

ok, thanks

#

you mentioned a homescreen, so just want to confirm which Terminal reader you're using? are you using the S700/S710 model, or a different reader?

steep timber Mar 10, 2026, 12:03 PM

#

s710

halcyon sage Mar 10, 2026, 12:04 PM

#

ok! then to access the settings from the home screen, you can swipe right from the left edge of the screen

https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/payments/setup-reader/stripe-reader-s700-s710#settings

#

does this work for you or is the issue that you're stuck on the home screen when you try this?

#

it's not reacting to anything we have just recieved it and are trying to get it set up

#

ok i now have access to setting

halcyon sage Mar 10, 2026, 12:07 PM

#

I see. Have you tried to reboot the reader? If so, can you share the serial number?

#

oh great! if it's working now then I'd recommend following the steps in the Setup Reader link shared above

#

ive registered the reader now how do i take payments

halcyon sage Mar 10, 2026, 12:17 PM

#

the process of setting up a Terminal integration is fairly technical, as you need to connect the reader to your POS application, using the Stripe Terminal SDK

this guide is a good starting point: https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/overview

#

the steps to set up an integration are laid out in this section: https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/overview#getting-started

#

once your integration has been built, the steps to accept a card payment are detailed here: https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/payments/collect-card-payment

#

i have no idea where to start none of it makes sense

#

how do i get someone to code this for me

halcyon sage Mar 10, 2026, 12:28 PM

#

that's totally understandable, Stripe Terminal isn't really an out-of-the-box product to immediately start accepting cards in person - it's more intended for merchants who have an existing custom POS system and want to connect it to Stripe

#

if you don't have a development team in place to set this up, we do partner with third-parties who provide similar services

#

#

I'd recommend taking a look at some of these options to see if they sound suitable for your needs
