# Set up a card terminal From unpacking to registration in Spreat. Choose your device first, and its guide appears below. ## Your card terminal Which device do you have? ### [Stripe Reader S700/S710](https://beta.spreat.com/support/card-terminals?device=stripe-reader-s700) from Stripe ### BBPOS WisePOS E from Stripe ### [SumUp Solo](https://beta.spreat.com/support/card-terminals?device=sumup-solo) from SumUp ## 1. What is in the box The box holds the card terminal, the battery and a charging cable with a USB-A plug. The docking station adds the station, a USB-C charger with plug adapter and a USB-A to USB-C cable.

Insert the battery Place the device in front of you with the screen facing down. Lift the cover at the bottom left corner and take it off. Insert the battery so that its gold contacts at the top meet the contacts in the device, and put the cover back on. Some devices shipped since January 2026 already have the battery inside. A leaflet in the box tells you. In that case skip this step.

Charge and switch on Plug the charging cable into the port with the lightning symbol on the side and the other end into a USB power adapter. With the docking station, plug its charger into the back of the station instead and set the device in it. While the device charges, a light glows green. Hold the power button on the right side for two seconds until the screen turns on. Leave the device plugged in overnight too: it restarts at midnight and installs updates then.

Connect to the internet On first start the device asks for language, country and Wi-Fi. Choose your Wi-Fi and enter its password. You can change the Wi-Fi later in the settings under “Network”. For a network cable you need the docking station. Plug the network cable and the charger into the back of the station, then set the device in it. If the device asks about the wired connection, confirm it.

Install updates As soon as the device is online, it looks for updates. If it offers one, tap “Update” and wait until it is done. This takes a few minutes. ## 6. Show the registration code Swipe right from the left edge of the screen and tap “Settings”. Enter the admin passcode `07139` and tap “Generate pairing code”. The device shows three words joined by hyphens, for example `puppies-plug-could`. The device shows its menus in the language you chose on first start. [![Swipe right, then “Settings”](https://beta.spreat.com/support/card-terminals/bbpos-wisepos-e-settings-button.png)](https://beta.spreat.com/support/card-terminals/bbpos-wisepos-e-settings-button.png) [![Admin passcode 07139](https://beta.spreat.com/support/card-terminals/bbpos-wisepos-e-admin-passcode.png)](https://beta.spreat.com/support/card-terminals/bbpos-wisepos-e-admin-passcode.png) [![“Generate pairing code”](https://beta.spreat.com/support/card-terminals/bbpos-wisepos-e-settings-menu.png)](https://beta.spreat.com/support/card-terminals/bbpos-wisepos-e-settings-menu.png) ## 7. Register in Spreat Choose your store below, enter a name like “Till 1” and the code from the display, and confirm with “Register card terminal”. You will find the same form in your store under “Store settings” at “Card terminals”. ### Register card terminal Not signed in Signed in, you register your card terminal right here. [Sign in](https://beta.spreat.com/login?redirectTo=%2Fsupport%2Fcard-terminals%3Fdevice%3Dbbpos-wisepos-e) The device then loads its settings and further updates. This takes 20 to 30 minutes. Once it shows the welcome screen it is ready, and the till offers it for payment. ## If something does not work - **Code rejected:** A code is valid only briefly and only once. Generate a new one in the settings and enter it right away. - **No connection:** Open the settings and then “Diagnostics”. If “Stripe connectivity” does not say “Passed”, your network does not let the device reach Stripe. - **Does not charge:** Check that the battery is seated correctly. If the device does not charge in the docking station, plug the USB connector at the back of the station in the other way round. - **Network cable not detected:** Connect the network cable and power first, and only then connect the device. If the network cable icon is missing at the top, disconnect the device and connect it again.
