Use a WisePOS reader, or another card reader that doesn't use the Bound Gate and Payment App, with Box Office checkout to take card payments at the gate. For readers that use the app, see Use the Stripe Reader gate and payment app.
Your reader needs to be connected to your school's Stripe account first. You only need to do this once. If you haven't connected your reader yet, see Connect a WisePOS Credit Card Reader to Your School.
Note: You need a separate device, such as a laptop, iPad, or Chromebook, with checkout open to run reader transactions.
Test your readers and run a test transaction several days before your first event to make sure they work.
Connect a Reader to Checkout
Go to Events and find the event you're selling tickets for. Click the green ticket button on the event, then select Box Office. The Box Office opens in a new tab.
Click Launch Checkout. Checkout opens in a new tab.
In Accept Payment, click Select a Reader and choose your reader from the list. The reader appears in Accept Payment as a darker green button with the reader's name. If the reader doesn't connect, an error message may display.
Run a Card Transaction
Click +1 next to each ticket type to add tickets to the order.
Click the green button with your reader's name.
The reader shows the total for the order. Have the customer tap or insert their card.
The reader returns to the green Bound screen, and checkout shows "Successfully charged" with the amount at the top of the page. You can start the next transaction.
