Preparing the reader for connection (S700 and S710)
If your reader is brand new or has been reset, the reader should walk you through the process of preparing the reader and will generate a pairing code for you. If this is the case you can jump to the section to set up your reader by clicking on the link below.
If you are seeing a blue screen that just says the word Bound, or you need to re-pair your reader continue below to see how to have the reader create a pairing code to tie the device to the Bound system.
Click on the Blue Setting Bar
If you do not see the Blue Settings Bar on your S700 screen, then swipe across the screen from the left side of the device.
If the gate app is already on your reader, but you need to repair your reader for some reason simply click on the gear icon on the top right of the screen to get to the settings area.
Enter the PIN 0-7-1-3-9.
Select "generate pairing code".
Connecting an S700/S710 reader to Bound
Follow this process to add your S700/S710 reader to your schools Admin Site and begin using the Bound Gate and Payment App.
On your school's Bound Admin site, click on the business icon "$" in the primary taskbar.
Click on the word "Stripe" under the business area in the secondary taskbar.
Click on the "lightning bolt" icon in front of the Stripe account named Bound Stripe Account (Connected) to enter the reader management area:
Make sure your reader is turned on, with a good charge and then follow the instructions on the display until the reader shows a three word pairing/registration code separated by hyphens. IE: one - two - three
Once on the Stripe Reader page of your Bound Admin site click on the "Manage Terminal Button" in the top right corner and then select "Add Reader" in the drop down.
At this point the instructions change slightly depending on the type of reader you have and if you are wanting to utilize cellular data or not. If you do not know the type of reader t you have, simply flip it over. The model (S700 or S710) is listed under the serial number. S710's also say "Cellular" on the back.
Connecting an S700
Type in a unique name for your reader.
Include your school name, state and a number or other identifier for the reader. (Example: Allison IA S700-1).

Enter the three word pairing/registration code that is displayed on the reader and hit save.
