Card Readers

The club’s card readers are Stripe Terminal S700 devices. You register each reader once under Concessions Readers, then pair each point-of-sale browser to the reader sitting next to it.

Registering a Reader

1. Go to Concessions Readers (/admin/concessions/readers)
2. Under Register a reader, enter the Registration code or reader ID:
   • For a new S700, enter the four-word pairing code shown on the device’s screen
   • If the reader is already registered in the Stripe dashboard, paste its tmr_… ID
   • On a test system, simulated-s700 registers a simulated reader
3. Enter a Label — it defaults to the snack cart’s name; use something like “Window 1” if you have several
4. Click Register

The table lists each reader’s Label, Stripe reader ID, Location, Last seen, and Status.

Archiving a Reader

Click Archive on a reader to stop it accepting charges. Archived readers stay in the list, greyed out, for reference.

Pairing a Station

A charge is sent to one specific reader, and that choice is remembered per browser — so the tablet at the snack cart and the laptop at the front desk can each talk to their own device.

1. Open the Popsicle Checkout or Concessions Cart
2. In the header, find This station: and choose the reader from the dropdown
3. A toast confirms Station paired to [label]

The badge beside the picker shows the reader’s live state, refreshed every 30 seconds: [label] · online, [label] · offline, or No reader paired. Both point-of-sale screens share the same pairing.

Caution

With no reader paired, reader charges are disabled — the Popsicle Checkout’s reload button reads No card on file or reader paired, and the Concessions Cart can’t take guest payments. Pair the station before the shift starts. If the badge shows offline, check the reader’s power and Wi-Fi.

What the Reader Does

Beyond charging, the reader is how a member without a card on file gets one: a first tap for a tab sale saves the card to the family, and after any reader sale for a member without a saved card, the point of sale offers Save this card for [family]?.
