Which card terminals can I use with Pickware POS?

Connect a ZVT card terminal, Zettle Reader or Mollie terminal to the POS App: which devices work for card payments.

With Pickware POS, you can use the Zettle by PayPal Reader, Mollie terminals and ZVT-capable card terminals, for example from Ingenico or CCV. Once the terminal is connected to the POS App, the app automatically transmits the amount to the terminal.

Connecting a ZVT card terminal

You can connect a ZVT card terminal to the POS App if it supports ZVT and your terminal provider has enabled it for use via ZVT. Your terminal provider can tell you whether this is the case. You don't need to install anything on the cash register, for example no TIM server.

For the setup, you need the IP address, the port and the cashier PIN of your terminal. You get this information from your terminal provider. The terminal must be on the same network as your iOS device. In the POS App, open the Settings in the app menu, tap Card reader → Add card reader and select that you want to connect a ZVT device.

Zettle by PayPal Reader and Mollie terminal

You set up the Zettle by PayPal Reader directly during the setup of the POS App.

You connect a Mollie terminal in the POS App under Settings → Card reader → Add card reader → Connect Mollie terminal. To do so, you log in with your Mollie account. The individual steps are described in How can I set up my Mollie card reader for Pickware POS?.

Which card terminals do not work

You cannot connect card terminals without ZVT support to the POS App. In that case, the amount is not transmitted automatically, and you set up the card payment in Pickware POS as an additional payment method.

The standalone Zettle Terminal, Zettle's all-in-one device with its own display and its own cash register software, is also not compatible with Pickware POS, because it cannot be connected to your iOS device via Bluetooth.
