How to Obtain a Pairing Code for Your Stripe Terminal

To connect a Stripe Terminal to your YapSale app, you must generate a one-time Pairing Code (also called a Registration Code). This code securely links your physical terminal to your Stripe account and YapSale.

Important

• This process applies only to Stripe Terminal

• The Stripe Reader does NOT require a pairing code (it connects via Bluetooth)

• The YapSale app is supported only on iPad

Important Device Support Note

This guide is written based on testing done with the Stripe Terminal (WisePOS E).

• The YapSale app has been tested by the Yapsody Product team using the WisePOS E terminal.

• Other Stripe Terminal models may behave differently.

• Before purchasing a different Stripe Terminal device, please confirm compatibility with Stripe and Yapsody Support to ensure it will work with YapSale.

What Is a Pairing Code?

A Pairing Code is a temporary, one-time-use code generated directly on the Terminal device. It allows the terminal to securely connect to:

• Your Stripe account, and

• The YapSale app 

Each code:

• Can be used only once

• Expires after a short time

• Must be regenerated if pairing is not completed

How the Stripe Terminal Connects

Unlike the Stripe Reader (which uses Bluetooth), the Terminal:

• Connects over Wi-Fi

• Uses a Pairing / Registration Code

• Does not pair automatically

How to Get a Pairing Code from the Stripe Terminal

Step 1: Power on the Terminal

Turn on your terminal and wait until the home screen appears.

Step 2: Open Admin Settings

1. On the terminal home screen, swipe from left to right

2. Tap Settings

3. Enter your Admin Passcode

If you don’t know the admin passcode, please contact Stripe Support.

Step 3: Generate the Pairing Code

1. In Admin Settings, scroll to the Network section

2. Tap Generate Pairing Code

Step 4: Note the Pairing Code

• A three-word, hyphenated code (example: apple-blue-zebra) will appear on the screen

• This code is:

  • One-time use

  • Time-limited

  • Different each time it’s generated

Keep this screen open while you complete pairing in YapSale.
