Hey. That's quite a few consecutive API calls there, which would likely explain why it's somewhat slower than you'd like

#

Have you considered breaking up the payment flow? Perhaps establish the Terminal connection earlier

Hi, I’m not sure when to do that. So the flow is the client adds everything to the basket and at that point on the checkout screen they decide on the payment method. Just wondering at what other time we could establish connection as we are not sure of the payment method.

You could try establishing the connection then they load the checkout page. Disable the button until its established

Is there anyway quicker to do this? Taking payments over other card machines are instant.

#

It feels like we are going back in time and this is the latest tech. You pay for gas and they say pop your card in. Over here you have to establish a connection which isn’t instant. I’ve used shopify too and that’s instant when you are on the checkout page.

As stated, generally you'd persist a connection to the reader throughout the session of the user

Most cases these card-present interactions aren't user facing (i.e. you're using a POS)
