How to Collect Payments with the Stripe Credit Card Readers

When collecting payments with a Credit Card Reader, you have two options, much like when sending a payment request online.

  • Create Payment Button

    • Payment is not associated to a repair order.

  • Collect Payment Button

    • Payment is associated to a repair order.

Using [Create Payment] Button with a Credit Card Reader

Once Payments Pro is activated, the next time you visit your repair orders page, you will notice that the [Setup Payments] button has changed to [Create Payment]

When your account is enabled for a card reader, clicking the [Create Payment] button will prompt a pop-up window with these options:

  • [Send a payment request]

  • [Use payment terminal]

  • Amount: The total dollar amount to be paid by the shop’s customer.
