Card readers
Every NextUp Walk-in business takes cards from day one with no hardware. When you want the full front-desk experience, add a Stripe card reader. The hardware compatibility list says what works, what is coming and what is not supported.
Stripe readers that work with NextUp Walk-in
Every NextUp Walk-in business takes cards from day one, with no hardware at all. When you want the full front-desk experience, add a Stripe card reader: the customer picks a tip, taps their card, and the bill closes itself in NextUp Walk-in, with the money in your own Stripe account. These are the readers Stripe sells in the US that work with NextUp Walk-in.
Included with every plan: no reader needed
Send a pay link or show a QR code, and the customer pays on their own phone with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card, tip included. Regulars can save a card and pay the next bill in one tap. A reader is an upgrade, never a requirement.

Buying a reader
Readers come straight from Stripe, at Stripe's price: order one on Stripe's site, or in your Stripe Dashboard under Terminal → Hardware orders. NextUp Walk-in makes nothing on the hardware, and these aren't affiliate links.

One of the readers on this page, shipped to your business.
- Add it in NextUp Walk-in
A counter reader: open Checkout → Card readers and type the pairing code it shows. The M2: pair it from the NextUp app on the team member's phone.
- Charge from the bill
The amount comes from the visit's bill, with no amounts typed in twice.
Not every reader on Stripe's list works with NextUp Walk-in. Stripe also lists Verifone readers and self-service kiosks, which NextUp Walk-in doesn't support. NextUp Walk-in works with the Stripe readers on this page only, not other card readers or point-of-sale systems.
Prices are Stripe's US list prices, checked on stripe.com in October 2026; Stripe sets and may change them, and docks, hubs and cases cost extra. The Amazon disclosure above covers only the Amazon picks. Card payments, with or without a reader, go to your own Stripe account: Stripe's processing fee plus NextUp Walk-in's card fee of 0.5%, at most $1 a payment, never on tips.
