With the MH Pay app from the apple store and a credit card reader available for purchase via your MemberHub store admin, you can process in person credit card payments.
The reader can only pair with one device at a time. So for example, if you want 4 credit card readers available for use, you will also need 4 iOS devices with MH Pay installed. Each reader can then be paired with its respective device.
Card Reader Instructions:
Ordering your Reader
Order your reader directly through your MemberHub store administration site. Visit the settings page and click Order a Stripe Reader.
You will receive shipping information after your order, but the readers typically arrive within a week.
Turning the reader on and off
To turn on the BBPOS Chipper 2X BT, press and release the power button. The status light turns on to indicate power. The reader waits for a Bluetooth connection for five minutes before turning off.
When the reader is connect to the MH Pay app, its status light shines steady blue. If inactive for more than 30 seconds, it enters standby mode to conserve power, and the status light begins flashing at 5-second intervals. The reader stays connected to your iOS device while in standby and automatically exits standby mode when you resume activity.
The reader automatically turns off after 10 hours of inactivity. To turn the reader off manually, press and hold the power button until the status light goes out. You don’t need to turn off the reader to conserve power.
