Take cards at the counter, if you want to
A reader is optional. Every business takes cards with no hardware, using a pay link or QR code. When you want the full front-desk experience, add a Stripe reader and the bill closes itself.
- No reader needed to start
- Stripe S700 at the counter
- Stripe M2 in the NextUp app
- Money goes to your own Stripe
At the counter
A smart reader with its own screen. The customer picks a tip, taps their card, and the bill closes itself in NextUp Walk-in.
- Stripe Reader S700.The reader NextUp Walk-in has tested most. It connects over Wi-Fi, or Ethernet with Stripe’s hub or dock.
- Tip on the reader.The customer chooses their tip, then taps, inserts or swipes.
- Charged from the bill.No amounts typed in twice.
- Added in a minute.Type the code the reader shows into Checkout, then Card readers.
At the chair, in the app
A team member can take a card away from the counter, using their phone.
- Stripe Reader M2.A small Bluetooth reader a team member pairs to their phone in the NextUp app.
- Tap to Pay on Android.A team member’s Android phone takes a contactless card in the NextUp app, with no reader.
- Mix and match.One bill can be paid in parts: cash, a reader, and a customer paying their share on their phone.
- Already have a WisePOS E?It still works with NextUp Walk-in.
No reader? No problem
A reader is an upgrade, never a requirement.
- Pay link or QR code.The customer pays on their own phone with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card, tip included.
- Saved cards.Regulars can save a card and pay the next bill in one tap.
- Cash and more.Cash, gift cards and store credit work at the same checkout.
- Your own Stripe account.Card payments reach your account, less Stripe’s fee and NextUp Walk-in’s card fee.
