Pairing Device (Bluetooth)

Starting October 13, 2025, an additional security prompt will appear during the initial pairing process.
Here’s how the new pairing process works:

1. Search for and Pair the Device
Start the pairing process in the Shore POS app.

A 6-digit code will appear on your WisePad 3 and your POS device (e.g., iPad).
Compare the codes and confirm the connection first on the card terminal, then in the app.

3. Successful Connection
Once the update is complete, your device is ready for use.
