Before starting the process, make sure your computer / tablet and the card reader are on the same wifi network. Once setup, you'll want to make sure your gate device(s) and the card reader(s) are on the same wifi network or they will not work.

Note: Removing is only required if you've previously connected card readers.

1. On the Stripe page, click the edit button next to the card reader

2. Click Delete at the bottom of the page

​

1. Navigate to the Business page of your school

2. Click the Stripe tab in the left side menu, and then click the yellow lighting bolt button next to the Stripe account you want to connect the reader to.
​
Note: If you don't have a Stripe account listed, reach out to our team using the green chat bubble in the bottom right corner of the page.

3. Click "Manage Terminal" in the top right corner, and click "Add Reader". That will open a page asking for "Name" and "Registration Code".

4. On your credit card reader, swipe from the left edge on the screen to the middle and that will open a menu with a button that says "Settings". Click the "Settings" button.

5. Enter the Admin Pin 0-7-1-3-9

6. Click "Generate Pairing Code"

7. Back on the Add Reader page in Bound, enter that code in the Registration Code section. Then give that reader a name and click Save (we recommend your school name and a number i.e. North Scott 1, but you can do whatever helps you identify them from each other).

8. Once added you'll see the card reader listed in the Active Readers list. You'll also see a Bound branded screen on your card reader (this only applies to schools using Bound's Stripe account to process transactions).
