Once the Verifone P400 card reader is received, complete the setup to connect to the Stripe terminal.  A Verifone P400 countertop card reader is used with the Stripe terminal to offer a reliable and secure in-person payments solution that supports chip, swipe, and contactless payments, including Apple Pay and Google Pay.

For more information or questions about the Stripe terminal setup, review Verifone P400 Setup or contact Stripe support. 

Connect Verifone Reader to Wi-Fi

  1. Refer to the Verifone insert instructions and follow the steps to plug the connector cable into the port located on the bottom of the reader.
  2. Plug the power adapter into the connector cable and into a power outlet. Once connected to power, the Verifone reader automatically turns on.
    Note: It may take a few minutes for the Verifone reader to turn on. 
  3. Once the No internet connection screen displays, tap Connect to Wi-Fi. The Connect to a network screen displays.
    Note: Connecting over Wi-Fi is a Stripe terminal beta feature. It is recommended to have an Ethernet connection ready as a backup in case of connectivity issues.
  4. Select the same Wi-Fi network connection used for the Kareo platform. The Enter Wi-Fi password screen displays. 
    Note: The Stripe terminal only supports password protected networks.
