"This card reader doesn't work with this company"

I'm trying to connect a QB card reader to my phone with GoPayment, but get the error in the title whenever I try to connect.  Does this mean there's no way it will work with my company's QB account?  Why?  Was there a way I could have known this before I bought an effectively useless piece of electronics?

I can help you resolve the error you're having with your card reader,erstelter.

 

If you have QuickBooks payments, you can take payments on the go through our mobile card reader. It allows you to swipe, dip, or tap credit cards with the GoPayment app. We have two card readers that you can get depending on their compatibility on your device or which one works best for you. You must be logged in to GoPayment or QuickBooks Online mobile app as an administrator to access the Card Reader settings.

 

You can disconnect and reconnect the card reader. You can follow these steps below depends on the color of the app.


Green

  1. Go to the Settings.
  2. Click Card Readers, then disconnect.
  3. From the Reader Actions drop-down, select Forget Reader.
  4. Reconnect the reader.

Blue

  1. Click More, then select Hardware.
  2. From the Card readers, choose the card reader you want to disconnect.
  3. Hit Forgot Reader.
  4. Reconnect the reader.
