BBPOS Chipper™ 2X BT User Guide
We’re happy to have you! We are proud announce Collect for Stripe’s !
support for a compact, powerful bluetooth reader –!the Chipper™ 2X BT.
Accept EMV chip payments, mag stripe, and even !
contactless (e.g. Apple Pay) with your new card reader.
Turning the reader on and off
To turn on the reader, press and release the power button on the side of the reader. The
status light will turn on.
After 30 seconds of inactivity, the reader enters standby mode to conserve power, and
its status light begins flashing at 5-second intervals. Note that the reader stays
connected to your iOS device while in standby mode. When you resume activity (e.g., by
starting another payment), the reader automatically wakes from standby mode.
The reader automatically turns off after 10 hours of inactivity. Just turn the reader back
on the next time you’re ready to accept a payment. Typically, you need to turn on the
card reader only once a day— No need to turn the reader off to conserve power.
To turn the reader off, press and hold the power button until the status light goes out.
* With typical usage, you should need to charge the reader only once per day.!
Connecting
Because this reader uses Bluetooth Low Energy, we do not pair it in your device settings.
Instead, just open the side menu in Collect for Stripe, then tap “Connect Bluetooth
Reader.” Hold the reader near your device and it will attempt to connect automatically.
