Set Up a Payment Terminal

Steps

1. Power on the terminal and confirm it has a stable network connection.

2. If prompted, complete any initial setup on the device (language, Wi‑Fi/Ethernet, updates).

3. Open the PayStack Windows app.

4. Start an In-Person Payment and confirm the terminal is selectable.

5. Run a small test payment (if your process allows) to confirm approval end-to-end.

What Happens Next

• Once connected, the terminal can be used for in-office payments.

• Terminal connectivity affects payment success and can also impact workflow speed.

You’ll Know It Worked When

Common Issues
