Yes, it's mandatory as far as I know.

#

I can't imagine a situation where it wouldn't be required. What's your use case though?

#

Just taking in-person payments using a smart phone device via App (android/IOS)

#

Yeah, it's required for that use case.

I think it was turbotime who said it but I can't seem to find that message now. Just wanted to double confirm so that we can finish of the server integration

#

See like here it doesn't talk about any connection tokens but other places it does

https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/readers/connecting/bbpos-wisepad3#connect-reader

Connecting to the BBPOS WisePad 3

Use Bluetooth and the Stripe Terminal SDK to connect your point of sale application to a BBPOS WisePad 3 reader.

#

The connection token is required for everything as is covered in the getting started docs here: https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/sdk/android

Getting started with the Android SDK

Set up the Stripe Terminal Android SDK so that you can begin accepting in-person payments.

#

That setup in the getting started guide is required no matter what else you do from there.

#

Another quick question, is it possible to programmatically create payment links?

frosty condor Sep 8, 2021, 10:01 PM

#

Not yet, but it's something we're working on.

#

Would love that!

#

Cheers have a great rest of your evening
