If you've chosen to integrate your payment processing with one of our supported third-party payment processors, the payment terminal or card reader they provided you with is encrypted for your security. This encryption also means that you can't use a payment terminal or card reader other than the one provided, as it will not be compatible with their services.
To set up your payment processing, follow the instructions specific to your hardware below. The table is organized by payment processor and lists supported regions.
If you've signed up with Lightspeed Payments, please see Setting up Lightspeed Payments to get started. Instructions on how to set up your payment terminal are included.
