Setting Up a Stripe Reader M2 Device
The Stripe Reader M2 Device is a bluetooth device and will ONLY work with the DaySmart Salon, Pet, Spa, or Body Art mobile apps.
After unboxing, plug the device into the charger (Charging port at the top of the device). Charge the device for at least 30 minutes before setup.
Ensure the device is fully charged. (See instructions below)
In the DaySmart mobile app, navigate to More… → Settings → Credit Card Processing Settings → Credit Card Device Settings.
Click the + button in the bottom right corner.
On the B screen, click Stripe Reader M2.
Turn the Stripe Reader M2 on by pressing the button on the side of the device.
Once turned on, the M2 will beep and flash lights. This beep indicates that the device is ready to be paired and the lights indicate the charge status (see below).
If prompted with Bluetooth Pairing Request notification on phone, click Pair
Follow the prompts on screen to set up the Stripe Reader M2. The app should automatically find the device once powered on.
The app may prompt that it is updating the device. Keep the device powered on and in range and wait for the update to complete. The device will chirp when the update is almost complete.
Once the device is successfully paired, you will be able to give it a nickname. You can use the default name if you would like.
Click Finish.
Turn the reader on and off
Turn on the Stripe Reader M2 by pressing and releasing the power button. The status LEDs turn on for 2 seconds and the reader beeps twice. The reader waits for a Bluetooth connection for five minutes before turning off.
When the reader connects to a device running your app, the status LEDs on top of the reader flash four times. After connecting, the first status light begins flashing at five second intervals. The reader stays connected to your iOS or Android device while in standby mode and automatically exits standby mode when you resume activity.
When connected, the reader automatically turns off after 10 hours of inactivity. You can turn off the reader manually by pressing and holding the power button for four seconds. You don’t need to turn off the reader to conserve power. When the reader turns off, the four LEDs light up and then turn off one by one to indicate it has turned off.
Check the Battery Status
When the Stripe Reader M2 is on, you can press and release the power button once to check the battery level. The LEDs on top of the reader show the current status.
