Setting up Stripe: Connect your account and pair your card reader.

In the Web desk , open Settings in the bottom left corner and select the Integrations tab. Click Connect on the Stripe card. You will be taken to a Stripe page.

Enter the email address you will use to log in to Stripe in the future and click Next. If you already have a Stripe account, use the same address.

Choose a password with at least 10 characters and click Submit. This will give you your own Stripe account where you can view payments, fees, and payouts.

Scan the QR code with an authenticator app or select Your Phone below for a code via SMS. Stripe will then display a security code: Write it down and keep it safe.

Under Company Type, select the legal form of your business, for example Private Individual (Sole Proprietorship) / Registered Merchant, and click on Next.

Enter your name and date of birth exactly as they appear on your ID. Also include your home address and phone number.

Under Industry, select Restaurants from the Food and Drink category. Enter your business website and describe what you offer in two or three sentences. Providing a VAT ID number is optional.

Enter your business account IBAN twice. Stripe will transfer your card transactions to this account.

Under Payment Description on the Statement, you'll see what your guests will see on their bank statement. Include your restaurant's name so they can easily identify the payment. Further down, provide a phone number for any questions.

Stripe then offers three extras that you don't need for checkout. Fraud Protection: Click on Use basic protection with Lite (included) below; higher levels cost extra per transaction. Climate Contribution: Click on No, thanks, otherwise you'll be contributing a portion of your revenue. Tax Calculation: Click on Not now.

Select Selfie and photo ID and click Next.

Click on Agree and continue. Use your smartphone to photograph your ID and take a selfie. The verification process can take up to 24 hours.

Finally, Stripe displays all the information on one page. If anything is missing, you'll see Edit or Verify. Click Agree and submit. You'll automatically be returned to the Web desk .

The Stripe card shows Connected and In use: POS. If Stripe is still verifying your information, it will say Setup required. You can start accepting payments as soon as Stripe has finished.

The pen icon on the card opens the settings. Servire has already configured Stripe as the payment method for the POS system. Your card readers will appear later under Card Readers. If you want guests to also pay online via Stripe (guest orders, voucher shop, Max plan), activate Process via Stripe.

In the POS app, tap the house icon to open the overview. Select Settings and then Payment Providers.

The Stripe card is set to Active. Under Card Reader it still says No card reader registered yet. Tap on Register card reader.

Exactly enter the registration code from the reader's display and give the reader a name, such as "counter". Tap Register.

The app reports card reader registered and selected. The reader is listed by name and online. The checkmark indicates: This device is collecting payments via this reader.
