The Offset POS app can be downloaded in the Apple App store on iPad or iPhone but you'll need a card reader if you'd like to a charge or collect customer payments on-site. Here's what you'll likely want to get.
Stripe Card Readers are $59 each and come with a charging cable. You will need a dedicated reader for each iPad that is running the POS app. They are terrific devices, and allow for tapping or inserting cards.
To purchase one, we need to collect the following information from you over the phone:
Company credit card
Expiration date
Security code
Billing zip
Email address for confirmation receipt
Shipping name
Shipping address
Phone number
This will allow our team to buy the chip readers for you and have them shipped.
Through us, you can also purchase an aluminum countertop Dock and a charging station for $19. They are nice and weighted so if you'd like to have your reader and iPad in a fixed position on your countertop, it's a great addition.
Another accessory option is to purchase a plastic mount for your M2 reader for $5 to connect it directly to the iOS device you're pairing it with. This could be a good option for businesses that have multiple readers and devices to help track which are paired with each other.
You'll also likely want an iPad for running the iOS app (though you can use an iPhone as well)
Most iPads should work, here are a few you could purchase if you don't have one already.
We also recommend an iPad keyboard to make typing speedier when customers share their name, email, shipping addresses etc. You can purchase this independently of us. Please note that only iPad Air and Pro are compatible with the keyboards.
