If this is your first time loading the application, simply follow the instructions to set up a new card reader. Otherwise, click on the card symbol in the upper right corner and select your BBPOS Chipper 3X device.
-
Initiate a transaction by entering an amount and selecting ‘Continue’ on the Start Sale screen.
-
Select ‘Wireless’ at the top of the Summary screen, and then select the ‘Charge’ button at the bottom of the screen.
-
Your device will now connect to the Chipper 3X device and you will be prompted to enter a pairing PIN. Enter the password for pairing. The password is listed on the back of the device, labelled ‘BT Passkey’
- Your device will now be connected and will continue with the transaction. Please note: there is a short timeout window for this process, so you may be required to reattempt the transaction after PIN pairing is complete.
