To set up a card reader, users can simply begin a transaction from the New Charge screen and follow the prompts. Select Yes when asked if you plan to use a reader, allow bluetooth permissions, and SwipeSimple will do the work. As long as a SwipeSimple card reader is nearby and powered on, SwipeSimple will automatically connect and set your default reader.
Another way to pair a reader or printer is through Device Pairing Settings.
From the SwipeSimple menu, go to the Settings page and tap Device Pairing to view the list of available card readers and printers that your device can be connected to. To pair a reader during the transaction workflow, ensure Use Bluetooth Reader is enabled.
If you are using a B200, B250, or B350, card reader the four digits represent the last four digits of your card reader’s serial number. If you use multiple readers, many merchants find it helpful to label their card readers with these four numbers with a large label for ease of use.
In the example below, you'll see two available readers have been identified by SwipeSimple.
