### 1. Setting Up Your Stripe Account

Before connecting a Stripe Terminal, ensure your Stripe account is configured. This setup is covered in a separate video. Once your Stripe account is ready:

- Go to **Admin Settings** within ShopController.
- Complete your Stripe account integration.

---

### 2. Adding a Stripe Terminal in ShopController

To set up a Stripe Terminal, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to **Integrations**.
2. Select **Terminal Readers**.
3. Click **Add New** to register a terminal.

---

#### 2.1 Name Your Terminal

- You can have multiple terminals (e.g., one at the front desk and one at the back).
- Assign a unique name to each terminal for easy identification.

---

#### 2.2 Connect the Terminal to Your Network

Ensure the Stripe Terminal is on the same network as ShopController:

- Set up Wi-Fi on the terminal so it can communicate with the system.

---

#### 2.3 Generate a Pairing Code

To pair your Stripe Terminal:

1. Enter your admin PIN on the terminal’s settings screen (PIN is usually provided when the device is created). The default PIN may be 07139.
2. Click **Generate Pairing Code** to receive a code.
3. Enter this pairing code in ShopController under the **Add New Terminal** screen.

---

### 3. Link Employees to the Stripe Terminal

To allow employees access to the terminal:

1. Click **Link** under the terminal settings in ShopController.
2. Select the employees who should have access.
3. Once linked, these employees will be able to use the terminal for processing payments.

---

### 4. Processing Payments Using Stripe Terminal

Once the terminal is set up and linked to employees, you can use it to process payments within a job:

1. Go to the job where payment is required.
2. Scroll down to the invoice section and click **Apply Payment**.
3. Select **Stripe** as the payment type.
4. Choose **Terminal** as the payment mode.
5. Select the **Reader** (terminal device) that is linked and ready for use.
6. Ensure the terminal is on and connected to the same network.
7. Click **Apply** to complete the transaction.
