This screen appears for a successful pairing.
-
Once you've selected the customer and added the items to the Checkout screen, tap Pay with Card.

Have the customer select a Tip option. Tap Split to split the tip if multiple service providers have been added to the Checkout screen.
-
If you selected Split, enter the amount for each employee, and then tap Continue.
-
Tap Next after selecting the tip.
-
Have the customer sign on the screen and tap Charge Card when you're ready.
-
Tap or dip the card into the reader to process the payment.
When you connect a chip reader to a device, it assigns the reader to that specific device. If another business attempts to use that reader, they'll see a popup stating that the reader is assigned to another business. This means that the other business must unassign the reader first.
-
To unassign a reader, tap More.
-
Select EMV Reader.
-
At the bottom of the screen, tap Unassign Reader to disconnect the reader from the device.
-
Confirm the unassign action.
Firmware updates keep your EMV reader compatible and current with new media. To update the Firmware of the chip reader, follow the steps below.
-

You'll see a notification to the right of the EMV Reader option. This indicates that an upgrade is available. Select this option.
-
Tap Install Now.
