Set Up PayPro Mini

Avatar

  • Updated

PayPro Mini is a portable and standalone device, available only for US businesses, separate from the main PayPro unit that can also run Vagaro and process transactions. The camera on the back of the tablet can scan barcodes and QR codes without a barcode scanner, and you can optionally pair the Vagaro receipt printer (sold separately in the Vagaro Online Store) to PayPro Mini. An active Internet connection is required to use Vagaro and process credit card transactions.

The PayPro can be used as a standalone device or used as a payment terminal with PayPro or a computer.

Even if PayPro Mini is not paired with PayPro during the first onboarding, you can plug it in later to pair them.

Prerequisites: This feature is available only in the US and requires PayPro Mini, an active Internet connection, and Credit Card Processing. You can't pair a PayPro Mini with a Chromebook.

PayPro Mini Features

Using PayPro Mini to run your business eliminates the need for a barcode scanner, by using the front and back cameras; and a credit card reader, by using the credit card slot. If the tablet is away from the dock for an extended period, it can still be charged by plugging a USB-C cable into the USB-C port. The charging magnet on the back of the tablet ensures a secure connection between the tablet and the dock.
