Contactless card reader test transaction

I just got this new card reader to use with gopayment app. It came with zero instructions and no online help. Seems user friendly but wanted to do a trial transaction before I take it to a sales event. Can't find a way to do so. Anyone know how?

Contactless card reader test transaction

Hello @Maple1,

 

Let me share some information on how you can set up and use the card reader with your QuickBooks GoPayment app.

 

Before we proceed, can you tell me the name of the card reader you bought? You can read through this article to learn more about the compatibility of your card reader: Bluetooth card reader features and compatibility.

 

That being said, here's how you can set up and use your card reader depending on the version of your GoPayment app:

 

A. Green GoPayment App

  1. Turn on the Bluetooth settings on your mobile device.
  2. Press and hold the button on the side of your card reader until it blinks green.
  3. Open the GoPayment app.
  4. Go to More.
  5. Select Hardware.
  6. Tap Card Readers.
  7. Under Type, select Bluetooth.
  8. Click Add a new reader.
  9. Select the name of the card reader to pair it with.

B. Blue GoPayment App

  1. Turn on the Bluetooth settings on your mobile device.
  2. Press and hold the button on the side of your card reader until it blinks green.
  3. Open the GoPayment app.
  4. Tap Menu.
  5. Select Settings.
  6. Click Card Reader.
  7. Under Type, select Bluetooth.
  8. Click Add a new reader.
  9. Select the name of the card reader in the My Card Readers section to pair it.

Once your app and the card reader is connected, you can select the Plus (+) and New Payment button to start accepting payments from your customers.

 

In addition, here's an article you can read to learn more about setting up and using your card reader: Set up a card reader for QuickBooks GoPayment.

 

Lastly, I've got you this helpful article in case you'll bump into issues with connecting your card reader: Fix issues with the GoPayment and QuickBooks mobile app card reader.

 

Stay safe and comment below or post again if you have any other questions. I'll be here to lend a hand.
