  • When you're in the Terminal section of your Stripe dashboard, Click ‘Locations’.

  • Click ‘+ New’.

  • Enter the address where you want to register Terminal, for example, your box office or venue address.

    • The address you enter must match the currency of your event. For example, if you register a UK address but attempt a payment in EUR, the payment will fail.

  • Click ‘Readers’.

  • Enter the 'Registration code', which you can find on the screen of your Terminal device.

  • Name your Terminal so it’s easy to identify in the future e.g. box office, West gate, Gift shop etc.

How to find your registration code on your Terminal

  • Turn your Terminal on, and you'll be invited into the onboarding setup.

  • You'll need to connect to WiFi (the same WiFi connection you'll use Ticket Tailor with).

  • You'll then be shown your connection code.

    • If the Terminal has been linked to a Stripe account before, swipe the screen from the bottom left to open your Terminal settings. You may need to enter an 'admin pin' 07139 to see this page. You should be able to find a registration code from the ‘Generate pairing code’ page.

  • Enter this code into Stripe.

Link your Terminal to Ticket Tailor

  • In Ticket Tailor, go to 'Box office settings', then 'Payment systems'.

  • Under 'Online payments' you should see your linked Stripe account. Click on the three-dot menu to open Stripe settings.

  • Tick the box that says 'Terminal (in-person payments)' and click 'Save'.

  • That's it! Stripe Terminal is now set up for your in-person ticket sales.
