Let’s pair this sleek device with your iPad POS! 💍 ### **Hardware Setup in 8 Easy Steps** #### 1. **Power on the device** Sounds simple, but it’s essential! Need help? We’ve got a detailed guide on how to operate the device. ![](https://help.shore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-09-2022-04-11-34-82-PM-webp.webp?width=471&height=415&name=image-png-Mar-09-2022-04-11-34-82-PM-webp.webp)   #### 2. **Check the battery** Make sure your card reader is well charged. A low battery can cause issues later on. --- #### 3. **Open the iPad app** Log in to your **Shore POS app** and go to: **Settings \> Payment Methods \> Shore Pay \> Settings** --- #### 4. **Search & pair the device** Your iPad will now automatically search for nearby Shore Pay Go card readers. Once found, a software update may start (takes approx. 5–15 minutes). --- 🔐 **Important (from October 13, 2025):** With the new EU security standard, Bluetooth connections are even more secure! During the initial pairing, a **6-digit code** will appear on both devices. ➤ **Compare the code and confirm the connection first on the card terminal, then on the iPad.** 💡 Devices paired **before October 13, 2025**, will remain connected as usual. #### 5. **A little patience…** The update takes about 5–15 minutes — perfect time for a coffee break. --- #### 6. **Activate payment option** After successful pairing, the **"Shore Pay"** payment method will be available for all card payments. Don’t forget: Make sure the Shore Pay toggle is switched **on**! --- #### 7. **Run a test transaction** We recommend performing a test transaction to ensure everything works smoothly before your first real customer pays by card. **Pro tip:** The minimum payout amount is **€1 (after fees)**, so make your test transaction for at least **€1.50** to ensure it shows up in your account. --- #### 8. **Check permissions** Make sure **Location Services** are enabled on your iPad, and that the Shore POS app has permission to process payments. ![](https://help.shore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-14-2022-09-39-02-69-AM-webp.webp?width=688&height=777&name=image-png-Mar-14-2022-09-39-02-69-AM-webp.webp) #### **Et voilà!** You're ready for a cashless future. 💳🚀 -
